This 2-quart brewing system is designed for aesthetic versatility, featuring a sleek tower design that handles both loose-leaf tea and coffee grounds. The pitcher is made of clear AS plastic, which provides excellent visibility and thermal resistance for the transition from hot brewing to ice. Features include a specialized basket that accommodates fruit infusions, allowing for flavored waters and lemonades alongside standard tea.
Tests show the heating element reaches brewing temperatures in under 60 seconds, facilitating a rapid preparation process. Practical safety features include an activator switch that ensures the pitcher is properly positioned before the cycle begins. Users are encouraged to keep the strength selector clean to ensure the brew valve operates smoothly without sediment interference.
The vertical footprint is designed to save counter space, though it is important to place the unit where steam from the lid hinge won't affect wooden cabinetry. The nylon mesh basket is reusable, and prompt rinsing after use helps maintain its appearance and performance over time. This system is an efficient option for families who enjoy a variety of chilled beverages.
For a similar capacity in a more traditional Mason jar format, the Aozita glass pitcher offers a different style of preparation. View more countertop solutions in our iced tea brewers collection.
