About this product

Product Description Nothing quenches thirst on sultry summer days like a glass of real, brewed iced tea. With this iced tea maker from Hamilton Beach, it's easy to keep a pitcher full, fresh and ready to serve. It uses simple tea bags or loose tea and brews in under 10 minutes. Brew strength selector offers mild, medium and strong settings and a permanent filter means no paper filters are necessary. Just add water, drop in ice, select brewing strength, add tea and press the power button. Slim, 2-qt. pitcher fits inside the refrigerator door or stacks for compact storage. Power and indicator light automatically shut off when brewing is complete. UL listed. Not sold in Target stores. Amazon.com Coffee drinkers have their automatic brewers, why shouldn’t tea drinkers? Ideal for family gatherings or summer picnics, this ingenious Hamilton Beach machine brews up a pitcher full of iced tea in less than ten minutes. After the pitcher is filled with ice cubes, tea (either loose or bags) is placed in the special paperless filter, and an adjustment for mild, medium, or strong brewing is selected. The lid snaps on. A receptacle slides out from underneath the heating unit which then holds the pitcher snugly in place. Water is added to the heating unit, the power button pushed, and the hot water drips through the tea filter into the pitcher of ice. When brewing is complete, the power automatically shuts off for safety. Complete directions for use are embossed on the slide-out receptacle, which eliminates worries about losing a user guide. Although the iced tea maker looks bulky when assembled, the pitcher inverts snugly over the heating unit for compact storage. Able to fit in most refrigerator doors, the 2-quart pitcher features a hollow, comfortable handle and a thumb release for the lid, but is not dishwasher-safe. Assembled, the machine measures 17-1/2 by 11-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches. --Ann Bieri From the Manufacturer Features: Fresh-brewed iced tea in under 10 minutes Fresh-brewed iced tea in under 10 minutes Adjustable brew-strength selector Adjustable brew-strength selector Indicator light and auto shutoff Indicator light and auto shutoff No paper filter necessary; uses tea bags or loose tea No paper filter necessary; uses tea bags or loose tea Slim, 2-quart pitcher fits in refrigerator door Slim, 2-quart pitcher fits in refrigerator door See more
