Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Salton KM44WHT 2-Liter Iced Tea Maker, White
Customer Review: forget the naysayers-- this thing is GREAT!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are an iced tea addict too, then look no further.
It does indeed require a fair amount of ice-- but let's think about why. TEA requires HOT WATER to brew. You want your tea to be iced. So you have two choices: you can brew it hot, stick it in the fridge, and wait about five days until it reaches the right temperature. OR, you can use ice.
This machine proportions it all PERFECTLY. ''Weak tea'' only happens when you don't use enough teabags. I get the best results with 5 or 6 regular teabags. It takes 5-10 minutes to brew a full pitcher, which is then ready to drink right away, nice and chilled.
The reason this only gets 4 stars out of 5 is because cleaning it takes a little effort. (Ridges in basked, as mentioned before.) But you don't have to do that too often.
BTW, a surprisingly great tea is the decaf "Ambience" blend from... of all places... Smart & Final! This makes a PERFECT iced tea. We go through a pitcher or two a day in the summer.
And for the price, it can't be beat! What else are you going to do-- use a coffeemaker? The stove? Forget it! Load up the Salton, push a button, and you're on your way.
