I own the older version of this and love it but it is showing it's age, so I ordered this. I love it! This brewer is larger than the old model and brews much faster. If you don't have loose tea and filters, you can use regular tea bags. If you don't have enough ice, just add water to the ice to make the full three quarts. I like darker tea with full flavor, so the tea strength button is a plus. You can add the sugar before brewing as well as other flavorings. I like to add vanilla to give it a smoother taste. The pitcher and brewer are easy to clean. I would recommend this brewer to anyone who loves tea!

Only problem I have with it is that with the oval lid, you cannot turn the lid part way closed, and when it is close to full, the tea spills out when you grab it from the fridge or off the counter. The lid can only be placed on the pitcher 2 ways and neither way seals off the pour spout. Kind of a dumb design if you ask me. Have already wiped up 3 spills since I was used to using my older one which would seal completely with the lid turned slightly. If I knew this, I would not have bought it.

I decided to take my old Iced Tea maker to work and share it with the guys. That meant I needed a new one for myself, but I found myself drinking a lot in the summer months, so I thought an "Upgrade" was in order. Although I'm still "feeling this one out," I'm very close to "just right." It's quite a large "footprint" when you're brewing, and you need to make sure the pitcher is aligned properly or you'll end up with a countertop full of tea that you can't drink. (And it's not fun cleaning up either.) Having said that... the larger size means I don't have to brew so often and for that reason, I'm really enjoying this Iced Tea Maker.

This Iced Tea Maker is awesome. It is lightweight to lift but sturdy and well constructed. The tea has a fresh, just-brewed flavor. From an iced tea expert...I would have to say to me..it's the best.

I love this model - it brews so much better -and stronger - tea than the newer models because of the design. It’s my 3rd one in 30 years and I use it all year. I tried the newer model recently and, no matter how I set it to brew (I like strong iced tea) the tea was weak and anemic looking.
