Overview
An electric brewing base paired with a 2 quart double-insulated pitcher, built to brew tea, cold brew coffee or iced lattes directly onto ice rather than steeping cold over hours.
Unlike a cold-brew pitcher you fill and refrigerate overnight, this unit actively heats water in a reservoir and runs it through a steeping basket into the pitcher below, so a full batch is ready in under 10 minutes according to the listing.
- 2 quart double-insulated pitcher with two-position lid
- Brews in under 10 minutes
- Steeping basket handles bags, loose leaf or grounds
- Automatic shutoff when brewing ends
Who it's for
Fits a household that goes through a pitcher of iced tea regularly and wants speed over the wait of overnight cold brewing. Less suited to anyone who wants a single vessel they can also use for hot serving, since this pitcher is built for iced use.
Pros and cons
- Brews a full pitcher in under 10 minutes
- Auto shutoff once brewing is done
- Works with tea bags, loose tea or coffee grounds
- Slim footprint for counter storage
- Long-term owners describe the pitcher as thin and cracking-prone
- No replacement pitcher currently sold separately, per a reviewer
- Fridge-life durability comments are mixed despite daily-use praise
Performance notes
Water measured in the pitcher goes into a reservoir, heats, and passes through a steeping basket holding tea bags, loose leaf or coffee grounds with a paper filter, brewing straight onto the ice already in the pitcher below. The unit shuts off automatically once brewing finishes.
