Product Description
Make perfect iced tea and chill instantly with this electric easy to use iced tea maker
Amazon.com Review
Coffee drinkers have their automatic brewers, why shouldn't tea drinkers? Ideal for family gatherings or summer picnics, this ingenious Hamilton Beach machine brews up a pitcher full of iced tea in less than ten minutes. After the pitcher is filled with ice cubes, tea (either loose or bags) is placed in the special paperless filter, and an adjustment for mild, medium, or strong brewing is selected. The lid snaps on. A receptacle slides out from underneath the heating unit which then holds the pitcher snugly in place. Water is added to the heating unit, the power button pushed, and the hot water drips through the tea filter into the pitcher of ice. When brewing is complete, the power automatically shuts off for safety. Complete directions for use are embossed on the slide-out receptacle, which eliminates worries about losing a user guide. Although the iced tea maker looks bulky when assembled, the pitcher inverts snugly over the heating unit for compact storage. Able to fit in most refrigerator doors, the 2-quart pitcher features a hollow, comfortable handle and a thumb release for the lid, but is not dishwasher-safe. Assembled, the machine measures 17-1/2 by 11-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches. --Ann Bieri

 Good Tea, Poorly made product August 24, 2008
v
I have made no more than 6 pitchers of tea. Was impressed at first. Tea flavor is excellent. But when I went to make some today, I noticed the pitcher is cracked in 2 places at the bottom of the handle :(
Didn't put in dishwasher (only handwash) and no roughhousing by kids. I live alone. So much for my great Tea maker!
I tried to contact seller through amazon but was unable to find a way through amazon.
 Easy to use tea maker August 18, 2008
Charles W. Hickman (Grove City, OH, USA)
This is an easy to use tea maker. It will work with tea bags and loose tea. This tea maker is very easy to clean for quick turn around time. I wish it came with two pitchers, but as quick as it makes the tea its not really a huge issue. The included pitcher is high quality and durable.
Great Appliance August 9, 2008
D. Peters (Dallas, Texas USA)
Simple appliance makes great iced tea. I bought one for my office and a few months later I bought one for my house.
Easy to set up, easy to operate, easy to clean. What else could you ask for?
 wonderful with only a few drawbacks July 28, 2008

We bought this a few months ago and use it almost daily. We love it. It is so easy to use. I only gave four stars because there are a few things that I feel could make it perfect.
Although we leave it out because we use it so much, it would be hard to store if we aren't using it. They say that the pitcher goes over the tower for easy storage. This is true BUT you still have the lid, filter & inside compartment to find a place to keep so it is no longer all together. So when not in use we leave it set up.
Also, the end of the pitcher is open so you need to be careful when moving it (from counter to fridge etc.) so you don't spill. We solved this problem by pouring tea into a different container in the fridge that holds over a gallon so we can make more tea and (almost) never run out!
Other than never being able to get all the tea off the parts (tea really stains!) we have been really happy with the easy use of this machine.
Hamilton Beach hit a grand slam! July 21, 2008
LetsGoMets (New York, New York United States)
Every once in a while, a company gets everything right about a product. This iced tea maker by Hamilton Beach is just such a winner. It's easy to use, easy to clean up, and most important of all accomplishes its main task of making iced tea very very well. Plus, it's priced well and has stylish looks. I'm glad they picked a neutral tone instead of making the pitcher red, blue or some other bright color.
I used to make my own iced tea by the pitcher by simply brewing tea bags in a large container. I always thought an iced tea maker wasn't needed. But with this tea maker the whole process is tremendously more convenient, easier and faster. Maybe that's why my iced tea even seems to taste better now though I essentially use the same recipe as before. Also, you can easily make batches mixing loose and bagged tea. Doing that without a tea maker like this would be a big hassle, especially during cleanup. So this tea maker makes it a breeze to experiment and be creative. Nice job, Hamilton Beach!
