Featuring a 3-quart capacity, this brewer utilizes a vertical gravity-drip system and a 700W heating element designed for rapid extraction. The pitcher is made of clear AS plastic, which provides high rigidity and a clean look. The strength control dial functions as a mechanical restrictor at the basket exit, increasing contact time for a bolder flavor when set to the "strong" position.
Practical safety features include an integrated thermal fuse that provides auto-shutoff protection to prevent dry-boiling. Features include a high-density permanent nylon mesh filter that is designed to reduce sediment bypass more effectively than standard paper filters. Users should note that the vertical height of the unit with the lid open may require extra clearance if used directly under low-hanging kitchen cabinets.
To ensure the longevity of the pitcher, it is best to avoid high-heat dishwasher cycles, which can cause the plastic to develop micro-cracks over time. Ensuring the filter is seated flat will help prevent any overflow during high-strength brewing cycles. This unit is a robust choice for families who need a large volume of iced tea or coffee quickly.
For a slightly smaller 2.5-quart version with a stainless steel aesthetic, the LITIFO Black 2.0 is a comparable option. See more ways to organize your kitchen at plastic cabinet bins with handles.
