BrentwoodKT-2150BL Iced Tea and Coffee Maker with 64 Ounce Pitcher, Blue

Simple and it works. Nothing more to say. It's a good tea maker. I use 9 bags, squirt of organic honey, and a couple fresh lemon slices. It goes fast.

Makes great tea and great value for the money. It’s seems to be durable and the tea taste great. It brews quickly and makes alot of tea. Would recommend this item.

I have seen some of the reviews that show a lot of movement where the pitcher is housed. Looks like flimsy base. What I have learned by using this product for months now. Yes, there is a lot of movement where the pitcher is placed. However, no matter where the pitcher is placed on the base, the pitcher lid is designed at an angle, so it will always drip into the pitcher. I have not had any issues. If you want a true high quality product, you are going to need to pay a helluva lot more. We use this product every other day. One thing we do after each use, is turn the machine over into the sink and slightly shake any excess water (there is usually a little bit of water left in the reservoir) to help dry out machine. We always keep the machine unplugged. We also position the percolator arm to the back, so that the lid lays on it and stays open for a few hours to dry out. Machine has been well worth it to us. We have zero complaints about this inexpensive option. I rather enjoy this machine, we don't use ice during the brewing, we double brew basically to the top of the pitcher (let it cool, while cooling I put all my teabags into the pitcher to steep for extra 30 mins) and then add cold water to fill our other gallon pitcher to the top and refrigerate, then we add ice into the glasses. Fun tidbit of information is when I double brew, I put 10 regular size green tea bags into the filter (for my gallon pitcher) and 4 or 5 country peach tea bags (from celestial seasonings) and it makes yummy peach tea!! Have fun!!!

I bought this to replace an 11 year old Mr. Coffee that I used to make tea that quit working. This is a very simple machine--there is "brew" button to start the cycle and "brew strength" slider and that's it. If you want to turn it off mid-brew for some reason you pull the cord, there is no off button. At the end of the brew cycle it turns off but there are no sound notifications. It brews very hot so lift the lid carefully if you do so right after it turns off. It has a tall carafe but you can only fill it about 1/3 with water (to the marked water line, approx 8 cups) and that fills the machine's water reservoir. The idea from the instructions is you fill the water reservoir then put a large amount of ice in the carafe, then brew, and "presto", ice tea. If like me you want to brew just straight tea and chill it (with my Mr Coffee I would fill the 12 cup carafe twice, pour it into a separate container and have enough tea for maybe 3 days) you can't fill the carafe full without using a 2nd container to hold the tea then pour it back in the carafe when done. I'll continue to use a 2nd container as I did with the Mr. Coffee and brew the same amount of tea to chill as I used to, but with this tea maker I'll have to do 3 brews to fill it as much as I'm used to. There's no cleaning cycle on it for mineral build-up and nothing listed in the manual so I'll either find something online or make up my own based on the cleaning cycles in my former Mr. Coffee and a Keurig we have. Slightly disappointed in the lack of features other than the basic but it does the job.And it does brew a decent cup of tea.

Bought this for my father and he says it works great. Has no complaints

I have a confession to make. I am a southern woman and I cannot make brewed iced tea. I’m a failure to my southern roots, but my tea is too strong, too weak, bitter…I make terrible tea. But this lovely little machine makes wonderful tea, so I’m saved! It’s easy, it’s fast, and it makes your tea as strong or weak as you want it. It’s not perfect, though, but I’m not taking away stars for it. The plastic pitcher would not stand up to being dropped on anything but the thickest carpet. And I don’t think it’ll last more than a year. It’s pretty flimsy. The machine itself also feels like pretty flimsy plastic. But, it does make good tea, so it is forgiven. I would recommend this, but I’d warn a friend about the flimsiness of the plastic.

Is it a high end product—no, you can definitely find more expensive iced tea makers. But this thing has finally allowed me to make delicious iced tea at home. Also easy to use and to clean, no leaks. Love it! You can also use it to make iced coffee.

Works well and is a cute color. This is my second time buying this brand. I only had to buy a second one bc I broke the jug by dropping it. It is a fast brewer. Worth the money!

Makes great iced tea

Makes a great iced tea!! Love it! Was perfect for the summer!! Havnt tried iced coffee yet but I’m sure it will be great!

Perk works really well at low setting with Lipton ice tea bags

I drink ALOT of ice tea. This is a great product. Easy to clean and lots of flavor.The marks for water and ice are way off in order to get a full pitcher but once i figured out what works it was amazing.

If you like Iced tea this is the perfect brewer for you! Easy to use, easy to clean and the tea taste great.
