Iced Tea Maker 3 Quart with Brew Strength Selector (Blue)

I LOVE ICED TEA. This machine is cool for making a bunch right away on a hot day or having iced tea with lunch. The ONLY reason it didn't get 5 stars is In like to have Iced Tea all the time and the container you make the tea in is stained from having the tea sit in it in the fridge for a few days. So I bought a glass one and think it's silly I transfer iced tea from one container to another so it doesn't get skunky sooner.

I purchased this tea maker to replace an identical one that served me well on a daily basis for the last 5 years. I have 3 suggestions for the use of this tea maker.1. Use it with a baking/cookie sheet pan under it to control inevitable leakage. You will find that it WILL leak when you get in a hurry and do not properly follow instructions. My old one has leaked several times over the last several years - not because of a defect, but because of my inattention. This is no big deal if you use the baking/cookie sheet pan.2. Use two 32oz plastic soda fountain cups to make your ice that you put in the brewing pitcher. Be sure to cover the top of the cups or the water will freeze from the top down and bulge out the sides of the cups and the frozen ice will be impossible to remove (I use a mailing envelope to cover the top of both cups). The ice from these cups fit nicely in the brewing pitcher.3. Get 3 jars WITH lids that are 1 quart in size. Pour the brewed tea into the jars to overflowing so that when you put the lids on the jars there is no oxygen in the jars - your tea will last longer by doing this. Put the jars of tea in refrigerator and remove as you use them. I use discarded instant Lipton glass tea jars a friend gives me - they also serve as my serving cups. They are tall and will fit in my car's cup holders. I do not add ice after the tea is brewed for the added ice dilutes the tea.

OMG! Arrived early February, broken by end of May. While this brewed tea decently well (I did mostly loose leaf tea) to make tasty iced tea, the thing broke mid may, just after the 90 day warrantee period expired. There's a float valve inside the unit that managed to break off from normal use. Without it, it produces scalding steam out the top. Dangerous. Don't buy. Total Junk.

Used it 7 times with no issues. Followed the directions and never had a problem. The container is a bit weak and you need to be careful or it will bend and spill. It makes great tasting ICED TEA!! The container is why I give it 4 stars and not 5. But again its a nice ICED TEA maker and we use it in our camper. Been using Mr. Coffee makes for years and this one is a good one.

Love this Iced Tea Maker! So simple to use as I use it every two days! Very easy to clean! Buy this Mr Coffee best for you to enjoy!!!!!

Terrible. Leaks and it’s trash.

It is a replacement for my old unit.

Cool
