Electric Iced Tea Maker for Sweet Tea and Cold Brew Coffee, Double Insulated Pitcher, Black, Small

I am a loose leaf tea snob and I wasn't sure I would like this Iced Tea Maker. But, this tea maker is amazing. Easy to use and it makes a great pitcher of tea. The pitcher is just the right size. The maker part has a fairly low profile and sits nicely on my shelf. I really love everything about it. Highly recommend!

Works great for brewing my tea… easy to use easy to clean… makes a full pitcher every brew.

Fast and easy. We use it almost every day

I make a LOT of iced tea at home. I don't do carbonation, caffeine, refined sugar, nor artificial sweeteners, so I pretty much have to make all my beverages myself if I want anything other than water. I grow my own plants for tea so I need something that works with both fresh and dried leaves and flowers. I've used both the Oster and the Mr. Tea makers and they eventually failed because they were too complicated. Hidden water reserves you can't reach into to descale and springs with pressure-sensitive, filtered reservoirs which get clogged with tea residue and eventually fail to dispense the tea properly. This machine has none of that. You just fill up the water container, put the plastic tea basket on the plastic pitcher, pop on the lid and slide it under the water container's output nozzle. Super easy to clean and get all the gunk out. I don't love the plastic pitcher instead of glass, but since I put the tea into glass containers for storage in the fridge the plastic pitcher isn't a real problem. I use a VERY fine strainer in a large metal funnel, so no leaves, etc. get into the tea. I miss the ability to pull out the pitcher to empty as it fills, but at least there's no springs/whatever to go wrong and not function properly. Both the Oster and the Mr. Tea lost the "auto stop when pitcher is pulled out" function months before the machines gave up the ghost entirely. Having to wait for the auto shut off when the pitcher is full is a small price for being able to make a full gallon of tea in just two runs of the machine. I don't use any ice, so it's easy to top off the water reservoir as It empties with a total two quarts of water for each run. I empty the two runs into a gallon jug, mix in whatever else I want in the brew (lemon or other fruit juice, etc.) mix it up and put it into the pitchers in the fridge. It can be served over ice or just stored in the fridge until cold, which is the way I like it. Bottom line: It does the job, it's not ugly on the counter, and it was a very good price.

Works as advertised. Takes about twenty minutes to fill the pitcher. Good capacity in the pitcher. Be mindful of the difference between pitcher and reservoir when adding ice. Pitcher is plastic and could be a little more durable but it's expected to work with ice so no major issue there. Tastes like tea when its done. Enough to fill my 3 quart drinking mug.

I bought this for my Mom because she had to replace a similar iced tea maker. She told me that she likes it and it is of good quality and seems to be faster than the old one.

Easy to use and makes great tea!

The iced tea maker works fine but the pitcher cracks and leaks after a short time and I cannot find a replacement pitcher that fits. I had to buy an entire new unit and the pitcher cracked again within 6 months

Entire product is plastic not stainless steel as described

Excellent product I love it Works really good

Firstly this was not stainless steel as advertised. Secondly, and most importantly, the item had been used and was not cleaned. Will add this seller to my no buy list.
