 Great Product July 16, 2008
This was to replace another tea maker that was getting impossible to clean. I have had several of these and other than not being dishwasher safe they are great. After a while they do get quite stained but the product works great. Probably we make 1 or 2 pitchers every day of the year and the product has not failed.
Great product if you TAKE CARE OF IT July 11, 2008

Okay kids, repeat after me-- treat your stuff like junk, and it will all BE junk.
I have read way too many reviews about this iced tea maker which complain about things that can be avoided if the owner of the unit just had a little common sense.
First, take care of the pitcher. As with almost everything, it will break or crack if abused. Yes, that means washing it out by hand (big deal) and not dropping it. You drop it, it breaks. That's what happens.
Second, the warping issue. Yes, the pitcher is not thick, shock-resistant plastic but it is what it is for being part of a $20 unit. When water goes through the tea bags it is very hot. This is why you are supposed to fill the pitcher (up to the marked line) with ice. The ice cools down the hot liquid and the pitcher will not warp. Period. Read the directions.
Third, yes, you have to clean out the used tea bags from the brewing portion of the machine. Again, big deal. You take it off of the pitcher, you dump out the tea bags, place it in the sink and fill it with hot tap water to clean it out. It's not really that difficult. Why would anyone leave the tea bags in it long enough for them to get moldy, anyway?
Fourth, when brewing it leaks onto the counter only if you do not have it positioned under the brewer properly. Do it right, this will not happen.
I bought this because I had to use a gift certificate from BB&B and couldn't find anything else that day to interest me. Really, I wasn't prepared to like this thing as much as I do. We drink a pitcher or two of iced tea every day in the summer months and it saves me a lot of time. This machine has worked flawlessly. I use tea bags (6, our fave currently are 3 bags of Trader Joe's mango-flavored black tea and 3 bags of Lipton's with a scant 1/4 cup of sugar added)but have never used a filter or loose tea.
I do not like the less-than-ergonomic handle on the pitcher, so after the tea is finished brewing I transfer the contents to a 2-quart Rubbermaid pitcher.
In my opinion, this is a great, convenient way to make iced tea and with a less than $20 price tag, it's a great value as well. Take care of it. Read the directions. I plan to be using mine for the next several summers to come.

When I was younger, my father had an older model of this 2 quart Mr Coffee tea maker. He had it for as long as I can remember; at least 10 years. So when I was preparing to move out on my own, I saw this and had to buy one for me and one for my father. The lever and steeping mechanism on his was becoming loose so the tea was draining too fast. This newer model doesn't have that, but it does have a tinier hole in which the tea slowly yet continuously, drips through. My father enjoys it equally as much as the old one and it produces equally good tea.
I love drinking tea, and with just me and my husband in the house, buying a 2 quart model was the right choice. Anything larger would just be a waste of tea and refrigerator space. I enjoy the tea that comes from this tea maker. Everyone has their own way of making tea, but when you buy a new tea maker, it is important to test different ways to make it and find out what works best with that particular unit. My personal way is to use 4 family size Lipton tea bags. Obviously everyone does something different to create their favorite taste.
While I may have little expierence with Hamilton Beach brand; Mr Coffee has always been a standout in both coffee and tea makers. The ease of use of this product is astounding (however my husband tends to disagree) and I can make tea in a flash whenever I like. I have had no problems with the construction of this product and the price just can't be beat.
Best product for Iced Tea June 13, 2008
This is the best product for brewing iced tea. Had one previously and the on/off switch finally broke. I think I had it for 8 - 10 years. Wanted exactly the same one because I had extra carafes and they would only fit this make and model. Found just what I wanted on Amazon and ordered it. When I received it, found it exactly the same as my old one. I am just thrilled with how easy it is to make excellent iced tea. Just the way I felt about my old one.
Over 15 years of use and still going strong June 9, 2008

I rec'd the Mr. Coffee Iced Tea maker as a wedding gift over 15 years ago. It is the model with the red top. It had two pitchers. One of the pitcher cracked last week (after 15 years of use). I have put the pitchers through the dishwasher on many occasions through the years. I have never had a problem with the pitchers warping. I believe a previous rater may have hit the nail on the head. The problem is likely because the user may not be filling the pitcher with iced BEFORE making the tea. This cools the tea down immediately and will prevent warping or overheating of the pitcher. I use only 1 family sized Lipton tea bag and either sugar or splenda and do not use a coffee filter but I DO fill the pitcher with ice before making the tea. It makes great tea like this. I would love to have replacement pitcher (in case my other pitcher finally cracks) but I don't know which one to order as I cannot find a model # on my unit.
