Nostalgia 3-Quart Iced Tea & Coffee Brewing System With Double-Insulated Pitcher, Strength Selector & Infuser Chamber, Also Perfect For Lattes, Lemonade, Flavored Water, Black

The media could not be loaded. So far so good. I bought this tea maker to replace an old Mr. Coffee. I have attached a video, but in case it doesn't load here are a few points from my experience.1) It is a plastic pitcher/jug and is not super thick. Not an issue for me at this point in time. Plastic technology changes and just because this is lighter than my Mr. Coffee pitcher that cracked and broke even though it was much thicker, it doesn't mean that this pitcher will not have decent longevity. Only time will tell.2) As stated there is no OFF button, just turn on, it brews and it shuts off. If for some reason a person wants to stop brewing mid-cycle, just unplug the power cord.3) Lid will not stay on while pouring. Not an issue for me as I place a finger over the lid while pouring and there are zero issues.4) Cleanup is as simple as rinsing the wire mesh basket and dumping the minimal amount of water left in the reservoir. I leave the lid to the ice tea maker body standing up/open, and the pitcher upside down on a dish drainer along with the mesh basket. After an hour or so everything is dry and I reassemble.5) I have not used the control knob for strength of brew. I just leave on the highest setting, we use around 4-5 bags of tea and the tea is good for us. The tea has good flavor and is not bitter or super strong. We just drink plain ice tea with no added sugar.6) Regardless of stated capacity, my ice tea maker with water filled to the line and then added to the reservoir, pitcher then filled with ice cubes to the ice line produces just over 64oz of tea. I make a minimum of one pitcher (64oz) and place in one ice tea bottle. I usually make two more batches and fill a one gallon plastic jug. Depending on the household drinking habits, that will last us 4-7 days. Your mileage will vary.In conclusion, I took the time to write this review as I spent way too much time reading other reviews and bouncing back and forth trying to decide between a $300 ice maker or this one. I don't mind spending money on kitchen appliances so price was not a deciding factor for me. I liked the looks of this ice tea maker and figured I would give it a try. I will update this review should there be any issues. I have not been paid for this review nor did I receive any items, etc.

Absolutely love this iced tea/coffee maker! We use this so often in the warmer months to just have freshly brewed iced tea in our fridge at all times. It’s super simple to use, very light, makes tea/coffee very fast and overall relatively easy to clean! I will say the pitcher is pretty difficult to wash in the dishwasher due to the design allowing water to pool in it, but we love it and will be buying another in the future if this one ever breaks on us!

My long time tea machine died and I purchased this as a replacement. It's the best one I have ever owned.My one tiny complaint is that I wish the pitcher were glass rather than plastic.

This tea maker is incredibly cheap for the money. It is all made of a flimsy plastic. It has absolutely no sturdiness at all. The on off switch will predictably break within 20 uses. The sprayer on the inside that pumps hot water does not even hit all of the circular inside of the teabag holder. I don't know if the plastics are free of all the BPA it is so cheap. Another rip off from China.

Makes great iced tea. Very easy to use and it looks great.

I love this tea maker. It makes great tea and is easy to use.

Very useful

I have had to replace mine 3 times in 5 months. They just stop working. I purchased another one because I like the look of it, but will return if it malfunctions again.
