Overview
The wirsh EP-1205 is a countertop iced tea and coffee brewer built around a 3 quart glass pitcher, a strength control dial, and a reusable filter that takes loose leaf tea, tea bags, or coffee grounds in one basket.
It is marketed as an iced tea machine, and the specs back that up: a filter basket instead of a K-cup slot, and a fill line for the glass pitcher rather than a mug. Reviewers who have run it for months say it also handles coffee grounds well for iced coffee. The stated 3 quart, 80 ounce capacity does not always match what people measure once brewing starts, and the glass pitcher draws mixed reactions on durability.
- 80 ounce BPA free glass pitcher sized for family batches
- Compact footprint fits standard refrigerator shelves
- Extra-large reusable filter basket needs no paper filters
- Strength selector dial for tea or coffee
Who it's for
Good for anyone who wants a hands-off way to brew a pitcher of iced tea or iced coffee rather than steeping bags in a jug of water. Less suited to someone who needs the full 3 quarts on every batch or who plans to load ice directly into the glass pitcher.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who have used it for months are generally positive on ease of use and the flavor of both tea and iced coffee, but two complaints recur: the glass pitcher can be thinner than expected, with one buyer reporting it broke on first use with ice cubes, and the real fill capacity runs under the advertised 3 quarts for at least one long-term reviewer who resealed an overflow hole to get closer to it.

Questions about the wirsh EP-1205
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the wirsh EP-1205 iced tea maker really hold 3 quarts?
Amazon lists an 80 ounce capacity, but at least one long-term reviewer measured closer to 2.5 quarts before sealing an overflow hole, so treat the printed number as an upper limit rather than a fixed amount.
Can I use the wirsh iced tea maker for coffee grounds, not just tea?
Yes. The reusable filter is designed for loose leaf tea, tea bags, and coffee grounds, and several reviewers use it specifically to brew iced coffee.
Is the glass pitcher on the wirsh EP-1205 durable?
Reviews are split. Most owners like the glass over plastic, but at least one buyer reported the pitcher cracked the first time ice cubes were added.
