The Primula 1-Gallon Iced Tea Maker is built for those who need to prepare large quantities of beverages at once. It is constructed from a high-clarity, BPA-free polymer that offers high impact resistance, making it a sturdier choice for busy households where glass might be a concern. The design includes a three-point locking lid mechanism intended to keep liquids contained during storage.
To maintain the clarity of the pitcher over time, it is recommended to use a soft bottle brush for cleaning, as this helps prevent the micro-scratching or staining that can occur with high-tannin teas.
While the unit is designed to handle a full gallon of liquid—weighing roughly 8.3 pounds—users should be mindful of the leverage required when pouring. The integrated handle is molded directly into the frame to provide a stable grip, though the lid must be precisely aligned to ensure a smooth, controlled pour without side-spillage. It is also designed for lateral storage, meaning it can lay flat on a refrigerator shelf when the seal is correctly engaged and the liquid is cold.
If you find a full gallon too cumbersome to handle, the Takeya 2-Quart Pitcher offers a similar durable polymer build in a more manageable half-gallon size. For a wider variety of specialized beverage tools, you can explore our full range of iced tea brewers to find the right fit for your kitchen.
