5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024
This is the second time I buy this product (sold the first one because I was moving). I think it is designed very well and the quality is excellent! It makes plenty of tea, I am able to fill up my 46 oz. yeti and still have some tea left over. It seals tight and does not leak at all if closed properly of course. It is also very easy to take apart and clean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game changer if you're a (lazy) iced tea aficionado!
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024
I recently picked up this iced tea maker, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. It's the perfect size - large enough to give me a full glass or two for days, yet compact enough to slide into my fridge without taking up space.

I've got to admit, I've been hooked on the cold brew function and haven't even ventured into the flash chill territory yet. The cold brew is just too good and so simple! I just drop in about 8 tea bags, let it sit in the fridge overnight, and wake up to fragrant, refreshing tea. Technically if you look up each tea you will see the optimal amount of brewing time, but I’ve accidentally left the tea bags in for days before with absolutely no issue.

The design is pretty well thought out too. It comes with an infuser chamber that screws right into the lid so it’s easy to add/remove. And the extra little cup that catches any drips after you remove the infuser? Genius. I never would have thought of it but the small details make all the difference. I've been sticking to tea bags for the sake of convenience, but it's nice to know it can handle loose leaf tea since a lot of the high quality blends are loose leaf.

I've experimented with green tea, spearmint, and hibiscus so far, and they've all turned out amazing. Honestly, it's like this tea maker was designed for people who want easy convenience. I've been trying to swap coffee for tea for awhile now, but I kept forgetting about my steeping tea until hours later when it was the steepiest it could possibly be. This iced tea maker's been a lifesaver - or should I say, a tea-saver? I've almost completely cut out coffee now because making delicious tea is just so effortless with this thing.

The only little hiccup is the staining from some of the more pigmented teas. I’ve found that it can get a kind of yellowish tint. However a deep clean with baking soda and vinegar every other week keeps it looking fresh and new!

I can’t recommend this enough, I’m thinking about getting several in multiple colors so I can color code my teas or do a caffeine/non caffeine blend each time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make Great Iced Tea - Review includes recipe for 5-Minute Fresh-Brewed Iced Green Tea
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2016
A great container that makes it easy and fast to make great iced tea. Below is a recipe for green tea that I had been making for some time...this is perfect for it.

5-Minute Fresh-Brewed Iced Green Tea

This iced tea preparation method is FAST, and still delivers unsurpassed taste. Amazingly simple and effective (did I mention fast!), the method is adaptable to any tea variety. Best of all, if you use the brand of green tea recommended, it costs ~$1 to make 2 quarts (64 ounces) of iced tea, or about 15 cents per 8 ounce serving of tea!

Ingredients:
• 2 qt container
• 8 x 1.5g bags (12g) green tea (or to taste)
• Dash matcha (optional)
• I qt water
• ~1 qt ice

Directions:
1. Bring 1 qt water to 175 deg F (NOT boiling)
2. Transfer hot water to container
3. Add tea (and dash of matcha)
4. Remove tea after 45 seconds - 1 minute
5. Add ice to make 2 qts (i.e. 1 quart tea + 1 quart ice = 2 qts)
6. Agitate (stir or shake) to melt ice
7. Pour into a glass over ice
8. Enjoy

Notes:
• This method is adaptable to any type of tea desired by using 8 tea bags (or the equivalent in grams), and modifying the steeping temperature and time as appropriate. I like to make an iced hibiscus tea (16g hibiscus leaves per 2 qt final volume, 212 deg F boiling water, steep 5 min).
• The time it takes to heat your water is really the time-limiting factor in this preparation. You might be able to beat 5 minutes, or perhaps it will take you 8 minutes. I use an electric tea kettle that has an adjustable temperature control. As explained below, temperature does matter.
• Yes, that's right, that's how green tea is done. The Japanese have studied green tea for centuries, and you use water heated to 175 degrees and steep it for 45 seconds to 1 minute. They tell you to bob the bag three times, then hold it above the tea and shake it three times before discarding. Seriously, they have studied this issue. If you like stronger tea add more, but steeping it longer just makes it taste bitter, or so say countless generations of people who have made it their business to know something about such things. Of course you can burn it with boiling water and let it get bitter, just saying. Or maybe it’s different with Chinese green teas, I have found I prefer the Japanese teas.
• The container can be any sort of pitcher or jug, and it is especially nice if it has a lid that seals so you can shake it to melt the ice. Takeya makes a good one that includes a strainer. Make sure to think about how you will remove your tea ahead of time if you don’t have a strainer or the strings aren’t long enough…chopsticks work in a pinch.
• I recommend Costco Kirkland Signature Brand green tea, which is manufactured by Itoen in Japan. Costco picked the best supplier they could find, and then provide it to members at the lowest price possible (that’s what they DO). It includes a bit of powdered green tea called matcha in each bag that really adds to the flavor of the tea.
• Matcha is a finely ground powder of specially shade-grown and processed (the stems and veins are removed) green tea. Many Japanese restaurants use matcha to make their green tea, both hot and iced. If you don't use the Costco tea, you can always add a bit of matcha, or you can flavor the tea entirely with matcha.
• If you like your iced tea sweetened or with other flavorings like ginger or jasmine, add it after steeping but before adding the ice (between Steps 4 and 5). Agitate it a bit to help combine the sweeteners/flavorings if that helps.

4.0 out of 5 stars I drink way too much iced tea. Have for years...
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2024
...and when my 3 quart Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker finally gave out on me the other day I thought "cool, I got 10 years out of this puppy, let's get another!". Turns out that Mr. Coffee apparently doesn't make iced tea makers anymore as I couldn't find anyone selling them. I settled on this device as it was fairly well reviewed and reasonably priced and while it makes fairly decent tasting tea, I find myself brewing 2 batches a day to keep up with demand. And to make what is advertised as 2 quarts (not sure about that) it takes the same amount of tea bags that the Mr. Coffee required for 3 quarts and the finished product is not as strong as I like it. A minor inconvenience is the threads on the interior seeping device do not align well and it takes a great deal of patience to get it to seal properly. All things considered it'll do but as far as I'm concerned Mr. Coffee needs to get back into the iced tea making business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Iced Tea Lovers
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2024
I love the design of this manual iced tea maker. I've had electric iced tea makers, but I much prefer the cold brew method. I like to brew my tea overnight, but the flash chilling feature is great for speedy brewing. There is also a convenient container included for holding the filter insert you remove after brewing, which makes this a mess-free procedure. It fits nicely in the fridge, is very easy to clean, and it's quite rugged. The flavor of my tea when brewed this way is wonderful! I highly recommend this product.
