This high-capacity 2.0L vessel is made from high-density borosilicate glass, which is verified for significant temperature differentials. This allows for a direct transition from a stovetop boil to an ice-bath chill without the risk of cracking. Features include an 18/8 stainless steel filtration system with 0.2mm laser-cut holes, which is fine enough for rooibos and other fine-cut teas while still being large enough for fruit infusions.
Practical reality indicates that a full 68oz pitcher weighs over 4.5 pounds; the oversized handle is designed with a full-palm grip to help manage this weight safely. Specifications show a vertical height of approximately 10.5 inches, so it is a good idea to measure your refrigerator shelf clearance before use. The dual-function lid-lock is a unique feature that helps secure the infuser in place during pouring.
The borosilicate glass is stovetop safe for both gas and electric ranges, providing extra versatility for hot tea preparation. To maintain the silicone gasket's flexibility, hand-washing or using lower-temperature dishwasher settings is recommended. This unit is a durable, professional-standard choice for large households.
For a similar 2.75-quart capacity in a durable plastic format, the West Bend Iced Tea Maker provides an electric alternative. Check out our iced tea brewers for more large-scale options.
