The West Bend brewer features a 2.75-quart pitcher, offering 10% more volume than standard 2-quart models. It utilizes a high-impact SAN polymer for the vessel, providing clear visibility of the contents while remaining BPA-free. The system includes an infusion tube, allowing users to customize flavors with fruits or herbs during the brewing process.
Specifications indicate an integrated thermostat that triggers an auto-shutoff once the cycle is complete, adding a layer of safety for home use. Practical reality suggests that while the pitcher is designed for clarity, it is sensitive to extreme thermal shifts; allowing a small water buffer or ice to be present before the hot liquid enters helps protect the material. The lid is a friction-fit design, which is efficient for quick access but requires upright storage during transport.
Features include a permanent filter with a mix of nylon and stainless steel, designed to catch most particulates. In areas with hard water, regular descaling of the internal heating coil will help maintain consistent brew times. This unit is a robust choice for those needing slightly higher volume and the flexibility of an infusion tube.
If you need a system with even higher filtration precision, the Coffee Bear 1.3L borosilicate brewer provides advanced sediment control. Browse our large airtight containers for storing your bulk tea and coffee supplies.
