Each component of this tea maker is dishwasher safe except for the chill core, and every part comes with a helpful handle to make removal from the pitcher super easy. This affordable iced tea maker comes with everything you need for long summer nights, including a tea infuser, a flavor infuser for fruit infusions and a chill core to keep iced tea cool without diluting its flavor with melted ice. This tea maker is dishwasher safe according to the manufacturer, but if you plan on rinsing it out first, we did notice that tea leaves tended to cling to the bottom of the narrow infuser.
There's also a handle on top to help you unscrew and tighten the lid, or shake your tea with ice. Our pros also appreciate the built-in handle on the side of the pitcher, making it easy and convenient to pour tea into glasses and to move the pitcher around. Offered in four classic colors, the pitcher comes with some extra perks like a handy infuser holder that helps keep dripping tea from getting all over the counter when your brew is ready and you remove the tea infuser. Home & Kitchen Appliances Reviews Analyst Eva Bleyer found the tea to be "very flavorful and full-bodied." We also loved that this slim, attractive pitcher doesn't take up too much room on a shelf in the fridge, despite its sizable 2-quart capacity. It offers a flash-chill method so you can make iced tea in no time simply by adding ice to your hot brew and shaking the pitcher for 30 seconds. Our experts liked that this iced tea maker is capable of making both hot brew and cold brew iced tea.
NOSTALGIA ICED TEA MAKER MANUAL
Whether you prefer an electric machine or a manual iced tea pitcher, these are the best iced tea makers for home use according to our product-testing experts. We also considered key criteria such as the size, capacity and footprint of the machines and pitchers as well as their ease of use and ease of cleaning.
When testing the best electric and manual iced tea makers, our experts assessed performance by making hot brew and cold brew iced tea in each maker and comparing results side by side, sampling each iced tea for its texture and distinct tasting notes. The pros in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab test everything from top-rated coffee makers to reusable straws to outdoor grills. "The benefit of an iced tea maker over purchasing bottled iced tea is that you can make any type or amount you’d like without worrying about added sweeteners, additives and preservatives," Papantoniou explains. "Add tea - loose or in the bag - to the basket or infuser and allow hot water to dispense over it and brew into a pitcher filled with ice." Alternatively, iced tea can be made like cold brew by steeping in cold water for a long period of time. "Iced tea makers work similarly to coffee makers," says Nicole Papantoniou, Director of the Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab. Whether you want iced tea as you lounge by the pool or are trying out fruit infusions to serve with delicious grilling recipes at your next BBQ, an iced tea maker makes brewing tea a breeze. Nothing says summer like a glass of crisp iced tea at the end of a long, hot day. To our original top-rated products, selected by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we added picks from KitchenAid and Primula. We updated this article in June 2022 to add more information about each featured product and to reflect recent iced tea maker testing.
