Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Ceylon 51-Ounce Ice Tea Maker with Filter
Customer Review: Great While it Lasted
Summary: 3 Stars
My husband and I both enjoy brewing our own iced tea to drink and so thought that this iced-tea maker would be the perfect practical fit for our needs. Easy enough to drop in loose tea or teabags in the plastic filter piece and pour in hot water. No extra gadget or gizmo to store outside of the pitcher itself, which in a small apartment is a must! And a slim pitcher that fit easily into our fridge.
For the first eight months, it was a great investment. We'd make iced tea several times a week and keep it in the fridge to drink, varying what kinds of tea we'd use. The filter was easy to drop in and pull out for cleaning and we were very happy with the product. After about six months, the plastic filter started to become stained and warped, though it was still usable. After another month or two of use, the plastic of the filter became brittle and the top of it broke off. Well, it was still usable, so we kept brewing tea in it. That lasted until the pitcher started to weaken and the spout and lid cracked. Finally we had to accept the fact that it had to be thrown out.
Obviously, this product just doesn't hold up well under heavy use with hot water brewing, and if I buy another ice tea brewer it will be something sturdier. This is probably fine for occasional use, especially since it stores easily and doesn't take a lot of work to use or to clean. The issues we had probably wouldn't have developed if we hadn't regularly poured hot water in to brew, but that would be pointless for our purposes. The other issue is that the pitcher, while handy, is still a bit on the small side so that we went through the iced tea very quickly with just the two of us. This pitcher would not work to make enough iced tea for a large group of people at once and would require several brewings. Again we really enjoyed this ice tea maker during the months we could use it, it just didn't last very long.
If you are looking for an ice tea maker for regular use and like to hot brew your tea, you may want to look for something that will hold up better, because this one will not last very long. However, if you simply need something for occasional summer tea or cold brewed tea, this might be a perfect fit for you, both in practicality and price.
Happy Brewing! Shanshad ^_^
Description of Bodum Ceylon 51-Ounce Ice Tea Maker with Filter
Nature itself provides the most delightful tastes, and tea is one of them. Making ice tea in a natural way may not be as fast as opening a bag of powder and mixing it with water, but if you are conscious about what you fill your body with, the Bodum Ceylon Ice Tea Maker is a true, simple to use, alternative and the results are worth your small efforts. Add your preferred tea leaves, due to the infusing filter you can use your favorite loose tea or bags if you prefer. Fill the pitcher half way with your hot water, allow to steep. Once steeped to your taste remove the infusing filter and fill pitcvher with cool water. Brew stronger tea to allow you to pour the tea into glasses filled with ice. The SAN plastic tea maker holds 50 oz and will fit in most fridges.Features:
Winter or summer, no Southerner will be found without a glass of iced tea in hand. With Bodum's Ceylon ice tea pitcher, brewing a superlative fresh version of this beverage is a breeze even for the Mason-Dixon-challenged among us. Simply place tea leaves in the brewing column, pour a few ounces of boiling water over them, fill the jug with cold water, and leave it in the fridge. The next morning, add lemon and sugar and start counting the hours until it's time to switch to juleps; you don't even have to remove the leaves in order to pour. Bodum's classic design makes this an attractive serving pitcher as well. --Mary Park
