Description

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 Iced Tea in just a few minutes

I'm very happy with this Hamilton Beach iced tea maker. I purchased it after reading reviews on it and a few others. The reviews on this item were good, and I agree. Very competent unit.

MISLEADING ADVERTISING

THIS IS NOT A 2 QUART MAKER. YOU MAKE ONE QUART OF TEA AND ADD ONE QUART OF ICE...HOW IS THAT A 2 QT TEA MAKER?? BAH!

DON'T BOTHER.

iced tea making

I've made about 6 batches of tea so far - it takes awhile to get the brew right - I've discovered if you put half a cup of sugar on the ice and use three teabags (one lipton or tetley iced tea bag and two orange constant comment bags) at medium strength you get a pretty decent cup of iced tea. Definitely don't put the sugar into the boiling area... and the sugar doesn't dissolve or filter through if you put it in with the tea bags. I tried leaving the tea bags in the maker to use again, but even in the refrigerator they molded after a week. Still a great time saver - fairly easy to clean, and fits great in my fridge!
