☕ Hamilton Beach 1.7L (57.5oz) Glass Pitcher Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker with Removable Stainless Steel Filter and Tea Infuser Review

I was looking to trade my plastic Pampered Chef pitcher for a glass pitcher and I wanted something to use loose tea with. I also make sun tea. That's cool. Even when I use tea bags, I don't have to fish them out because they're in the center of the strainer. There has been a lot of debate about how much tea to use, but that's okay. It also fits in my fridge door, the center strainer is very easy to take out and screw in and the container is very easy to clean. I'm the only one in my house who…

We make about 3 mugs a week in our house so this product gets a lot of use. The good news is that we love coffee. The bad news is that you should NOT buy this. If you attempt to brew iced coffee as intended by this product, most of your coffee grounds will never get wet and will float to the top where it will seep into your coffee. You can do what we did: carefully fill the jug, pour water over the bottom, and then attach the lid to the filter basket. However, this also creates a lot of…

After 12-36 hours (depending on taste) I have enough cold beer for 3-4…

I don't know how other similar products work but I know I will not buy this product again. Cons: 1. The sieve is not thin enough, I get a lot of dregs even though I grind as much as my coffee grinder will allow. Simply turning the sieve with the coffee inside turns its entire surface brown. The cap is the biggest disappointment. At first I thought if the cap handle points to the spout, the cap is closed - WRONG. You can and should turn it about a quarter turn more. I discovered this the hard…

This coffee maker has completely changed my life for many reasons: 1. Instead of spending 20 minutes making coffee - I used to use a French press, I had to wait for the water boiled, set the coffee grounds down and then let them cool down a bit – literally takes me a minute. Minute to make coffee in the morning, I just need to open the fridge and pour myself a glass of good and cold coffee.2. Less Utensils: I used to have to wash my French Press every day, but now I only have to wash it once or
