Takeya Iced Tea Maker with Patented Flash Chill Technology Made in USA, 2 Quart, Black

Excelente calidad del producto

No me gusta el olor a refri que se queda en el agua si metes a enfriar una jarra sin tapa, probé más de 4 jarras hasta que llegué a esta, es perfecta, sella bien, hice la prueba de voltearla y no sale ni una gota, no se le meten olores, enfría bien y me gusta que tenga agarradera. La compré porque siempre la veía arriba de $650 y la vi en $399 y aproveché, vale mucho la pena por el precio.

If you love iced, it’s quick and simple and makes great iced tea

Buen producto pero el sello no funciona siempre

I'm a nut for iced tea really. I drink it all through the winter and go through a quart or more every day when I'm at home/work. (No coffee, this is my caffeine dose.) I've done various things to brew iced tea over the years but none has come close to what this gadget achieves. $25 price might seem steep but it's worth it. The brewing basket is perfectly designed for using only one quart of hot water and then filling the rest with cold (I just top it with water not ice). The lid seals completely. It cleans easily, even in dishwasher if you want. And, to top it off, it has the best-designed pour spout I've ever used. WIth the lid in the pour position or even the lid removed, there are NO DRIPS when pouring! Amazing! I find it totally worth having even though I'm not even using loose tea and have no particular plans to. A couple tiny tiny drawbacks I've noticed over the several weeks I've been using it: It can be a little fiddly to pour the water in then dunk the whole lid/brew basket assembly into there for brewing. There are 3 pieces that screw together if you are using the extended basket. You can assemble beforehand but it doesn't stand up well on its own and is a bit long and unwieldy to set down assembled in my small kitchen. Also the black tea I'm using (it's in a bag, not loose, and maybe that's part of why) stained the mesh of the strainer brown very quickly. I don't think that affects any performance or taste but it doesn't seem possible to remove. I have not washed the strainer in the dishwasher, seemed like that could be a little harsh on it, but all the other parts have been in there and done fine. I make the same tea at work using a simple pitcher and just brewing the tea in a glass measuring cup (don't trust brewing right into that cheap plastic). For some reason, it comes out tasting slightly different (better) at home with the Takeya tea maker I still haven't pinpointed why. I may end up getting a second one both for that and for the convenience of brewing directly into the pitcher and having a completely sealed storage for the fridge. And the drip-free spout. All good reasons to get this! EDIT: Okay so now I'm at 8+ months of using this. I use it daily or nearly so, and I still think it's great. However, I'm going to downgrade it to 4* because of one simple obvious truth: the plastic bottle stains and I've yet to find a good way to clean it. Now, is this not true of every plastic device that you pour very hot water into? Pretty much. I mean, I had an old Mr Coffee Iced Tea Pot and it was one of the things I hated about that too. This is still WAY more useful IMO. It's still very good, and I won't stop using it. But I'm disappointed that running it through the dishwasher won't remove the tea film, using a brush just makes it look scratched, and rubbing down the whole thing with a rag or paper towel would take ages, plus it's a bit narrow to get my arm into! Basically, I use it anyway. I don't think it's doing me any harm, but it's still a little disconcerting to know there is a thin film of tea coating the inside of the bottle that CAN be removed, if only I could figure out a good way. The care guide says for deep cleaning to soak in 50/50 water/vinegar, but I'm pretty sure I tried that and still didn't have a great result. Will have to try that again though. In short, everything I said originally is still true, except for the dishwasher is no panacea in getting it truly clean.
