Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mr. Coffee TM3 Iced Tea Maker
Customer Review: Great Ice Tea Maker
Summary: 4 Stars
I owned two of the 2-quart predecessors to this unit and wore them both out; I drink a lot of ice tea.
After buying one of these and breaking into the box I was not too sure about it. The pitcher did not look and feel as durable as the previous model I owned. However, the new design allows for better steeping of the tea and uses less tea for 3 quarts than the old model did for 2 quarts. When you drink as much tea as I do that's quite a savings.
As for the durability, I have had no problems so far, but that is the only thing I have reduced the rating for. End result: I love it.
Customer Review: Orginal TM1 Better then the rest
Summary: 1 Stars
I too have replaced with the new Tea Makers from Mr. Coffee and I actually wound up buying two of them One, the Christmas 2004 and June of last year. The problem we had was it leaked, What I found is that making the tea hot going into the spout of the pitcher made the seams leak over time. We also had a replacement pitcher sent to us, so we had 5 pitchers and two tea makers, We are now down to only one pitcher and threw all the rest out, when this one starts to split and leak, then this will go to and over to Hamliton Beach we will go!
If you don't have to old TM1 don't buy the new one!
Customer Review: Must have for Ice Tea fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like good ice tea, this is a must have appliance. It is easy to use. Fill the pitcher full of water, pour it in, put tea in the basket and turn it on. If you want to use loose tea, buy some coffee maker filters, put one in the basket and you are set. My two favorites to use are Bigelow Vanilla Caramel tea and Maple Ceylon from [...]. But you can use ANY tea. Experiment with your favorites.
I just recently replaced my previous tea maker after using it all the time for 10 years so this appliance also lasts. The 3 Quart pitcher allows you to make 33% more tea than other models.
Customer Review: Great, but 1 flaw
Summary: 4 Stars
This makes the best iced tea, hands down, in ten minutes. I'm on my third maker, but 12th pitcher. They know that the pitcher is flawed, but fail to change it. The front seam, as everyone who has one knows, cracks after a while. I use super glue down the seam to extend the life of mine. It works for only so long, though. I guess if the tea maker never fails, they have to make money on the replacement pitchers. The only reason I buy new makers is that it's almost as cheap as buying replacement pitchers and they usually come with two. Shouldn't be that way. Lets get creative, Mr. Coffee.Customer Review: Mr Coffee Iced Tea Maker a disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this same iced tea maker for years until the pitcher finally broke, couldn't find a replacement pitcher, so threw the unit away also. Saw what looked to be the same setup at Amazon and purchased 2 sets. What a disappointment! The unit appeared to be lighter in weight, but the worst was the pitcher. It was cheapened beyond belief. The handle would only support the weight of iced tea if you used 2 hands and the flap that covers the spout when not in use would not stay open when pouring, allowing iced tea to spill outside the glass. I sent them back. Shame on Mr. Coffee.
