Nostalgia3-Quart Iced Tea & Coffee Brewing System With Double-Insulated Pitcher, Strength Selector & Infuser Chamber, Also Perfect For Lattes, Lemonade, Flavored Water, Black

The media could not be loaded. So far so good. I bought this tea maker to replace an old Mr. Coffee. I have attached a video, but in case it doesn't load here are a few points from my experience.1) It is a plastic pitcher/jug and is not super thick. Not an issue for me at this point in time. Plastic technology changes and just because this is lighter than my Mr. Coffee pitcher that cracked and broke even though it was much thicker, it doesn't mean that this pitcher will not have decent longevity. Only time will tell.2) As stated there is no OFF button, just turn on, it brews and it shuts off. If for some reason a person wants to stop brewing mid-cycle, just unplug the power cord.3) Lid will not stay on while pouring. Not an issue for me as I place a finger over the lid while pouring and there are zero issues.4) Cleanup is as simple as rinsing the wire mesh basket and dumping the minimal amount of water left in the reservoir. I leave the lid to the ice tea maker body standing up/open, and the pitcher upside down on a dish drainer along with the mesh basket. After an hour or so everything is dry and I reassemble.5) I have not used the control knob for strength of brew. I just leave on the highest setting, we use around 4-5 bags of tea and the tea is good for us. The tea has good flavor and is not bitter or super strong. We just drink plain ice tea with no added sugar.6) Regardless of stated capacity, my ice tea maker with water filled to the line and then added to the reservoir, pitcher then filled with ice cubes to the ice line produces just over 64oz of tea. I make a minimum of one pitcher (64oz) and place in one ice tea bottle. I usually make two more batches and fill a one gallon plastic jug. Depending on the household drinking habits, that will last us 4-7 days. Your mileage will vary.In conclusion, I took the time to write this review as I spent way too much time reading other reviews and bouncing back and forth trying to decide between a $300 ice maker or this one. I don't mind spending money on kitchen appliances so price was not a deciding factor for me. I liked the looks of this ice tea maker and figured I would give it a try. I will update this review should there be any issues. I have not been paid for this review nor did I receive any items, etc.

Works very well recommend things like black tea and peach syrup very good and quick to make.

This makes great ice tea. Easy to use and looks nice on my counter top. One other reviewer mentioned the handle being kind of flimsy. I don’t remember if he used that word but I’m using it. It isn’t very thick and holding it when pouring the tea I feel like it may break at some point in the future. So I agree with the guy who mentioned it. That’s why I’m giving a four star review.

Working great so far. Love that the basket has its own filter, so you can use tea in bulk (no bags needed).

It only works when it wants to. You have to restart it 4 times to get it to finish the water in it. It will shut off before it even does a 1/4 of the water then you have to keep restarting it. Don't recommend this productThe Pic is from starting it the 3rd time

I like the retro design of this tea maker. I've had three B&D tea machines prior but really wanted this one due to the design. My B&D pitchers always ended up cracking over time and without the pitcher, you can't really use the machine because it has to seat the filter/tea. With this one, you put the tea in the actually machine, not on top of the pitcher, which is a bonus; I think you'd be able to use a different pitcher if this one ever cracked. The product itself does seem a little bit flimsy or not as sturdy as the B&D one, but it does the job all the same. There is a removable basket on top where I put two tea bags for my iced tea. It's very easy to clean the basket too. If you're looking for a cool retro-looking tea machine, I would recommend this one. I've been using it for a couple of months now and it's still going really well!

I love this machine. Pour water, push a button and shortly you have the best tasting tea.

This tea maker works fine and makes good tea. I only give 3 stars because despite the claim of a three quart “glass” pitcher, it only makes two quarts and the pitcher is plastic and seems pretty flimsy..
