Overview
A 2 quart pitcher-style iced tea maker with a removable brewing basket for loose leaf or bagged tea, built from BPA-free Tritan plastic in a blueberry-colored finish.
Takeya calls the process Flash Chill, but functionally this is a pitcher with an airtight two-position lid and a two-piece filter basket rather than an electric brewing base; hot water and tea go into the basket, then the pitcher tops with ice or goes into the fridge to steep. Reviewers who've compared it to Takeya's separate cold brew coffee maker note the pitcher and lid design are shared, with this basket suited to bags or loose leaf rather than coffee grounds.
- 2 quart BPA-free Tritan pitcher
- Two-piece basket for loose leaf or bagged tea
- Airtight two-position lid
- Dishwasher safe, made in USA
Who it's for
Fits someone who drinks iced tea often enough to want a dedicated pitcher rather than steeping in a jug, especially anyone who wants both a fast hot-water brew and an overnight cold-brew option in one vessel. Less useful for an occasional glass, since it's sized for a full pitcher at a time.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly single out the airtight lid for not leaking and not letting fridge odors into the tea, with several saying it ended a long search for a pitcher that met that requirement. The filter basket gets credit for working with both loose leaf and bagged tea without extra dishes, and more than one buyer uses it for both a quick hot brew and an overnight cold brew depending on the day; the one durability note was a small leak reported when the pitcher was stored on its side.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Airtight lid reported leak-free by multiple long-term owners
- Handles loose leaf and bagged tea in one basket
- Works for a fast hot brew or cold brew
- Dishwasher safe Tritan construction
Performance notes
The two-piece filter basket holds tea bags or loose leaf and attaches to the underside of the lid, so pulling the lid off lifts the basket with it once steeping is done. The airtight lid has two positions, sealed for storage and cracked open for pouring, which is what reviewers point to when describing it as leak-free.
