A straightforward iced tea brewer for households that go through a pitcher at a time. It makes tea only, and the pitcher size limits how much each batch yields.

Overview
Not a coffee maker with a tea setting, this is a brewer built around a slim pitcher for iced tea. Ice goes in the pitcher, water and tea go in, a strength is selected, and the power button starts the brew. A permanent filter means paper filters are not needed.
The brew strength selector and the filter that takes either tea bags or loose tea give it more flexibility than a plain pitcher. The limitation is the batch size, so a gathering means brewing more than once.
Who it's for
A household with a refrigerator door that has room for a slim pitcher, or an office break room, is the target here. People who brew tea only occasionally can get by with a kettle, and big gatherings call for something that makes more at once.
Pros and cons
- Strength selector for mild to strong tea
- Permanent filter, no paper filters
- Slim pitcher fits a refrigerator door
- Lights shut off when brewing ends
- Pitcher holds only a modest batch
- Hand wash recommended
- Tea only, no other drinks
Performance notes
Hot water passes through the tea in the permanent filter and drops onto the ice already in the pitcher, which chills the brew as it fills. The strength selector changes how strong the tea comes out. The indicator light turns off on its own once the cycle finishes.
