Bodum 10619-10 Ceylon 102-Ounce Iced-Tea Maker and Water Infuser Review

This makes good iced tea, but the design leaves a lot to be desired. The handle is at the top, so when full I need two hands to lift it - not balanced well at all. Also, the diffuser is not anchored in any way, so it floats around the pitcher when you are filling with water. Oh, and the worst, most annoying part is that the top won't stay open. The slightest touch makes it slam shut. Just hard to handle overall.

Takeya 2-Piece Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker Set with Silicone Handles, Avocado/Olive, 66-Ounce and 25-Ounce Review

I purchased this product recently after reading about it in a cooking magazine. This beats my other iced tea makers hands down! The others are more a hassle, this is simple, drop in the loose tea, water and steep it ~ done! For anyone that is a serious iced tea drinker I'd suggest using another, larger pitcher than the 66 ounce unit that comes with this product. For us that's just a few glasses of tea and then we needed to make more. So I purchased another glass pitcher here on Amazon that is larger and we keep them both going with tea.
You will love this iced tea maker for the simple, clear (never cloudy) great tasting tea it will make!

Both vessels have clear AcraGlass bodies that are BPA-free, as well as stain and odor proof. AcraGlass is lightweight and features glass-like clarity, yet is more durable than glass.

The chilling pitcher stores in fridge door or on its side. This Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker Set is great for brewing any type of tea.

Creative Ware Unbreakable Beverage Dispenser with Removable Ice Core (3 Gallons) Review

I loved the concept of this dispenser, but it leaked throughout the party the first time I used it. It was very embarrassing! We emptied it and tried to tighten the spigot, but it continued to drip.
We finally tightened the crown nut gently using pliers even though the directions said to hand-tighten it. It seems to be working now, but the spigot is plastic and the quality is questionable. I think it will work for our next party, but I don't like not being confident in its performance when we have company over.
The idea of this dispenser was perfect for the party and the ice core worked great! It kept the sweet tea cold throughout the party without watering it down. It was easy to clean, easy to use and easy to put together.

Creativeware 3-Gallon Unbreakable Beverage Dispenser Review

Purchased 4 and used them for an event for about 125 people. Used them outside on a very warm day. No leaks - worked great. I anticipated that the ice in the bottom bowl would not keeps the drinks cool enough to suit me - so I inserted tall vases in the container and filled this with ice and lemons. Filled with lemonade and tea just below the rim of the vase. Between the ice in the bottom and the ice inserted in the vases - the drinks were plenty cool throughout several hours. (and also were not watered down by indirectly introducing the ice).
Highly recommend this product.

Serve cold beverages with ease indoors or out. The lightweight acrylic design is easy to transport and will not break if accidentally tipped over. The design features a compartmentalized base that can be filled with ice for additional cooling. And it's easy to fill the container with a favorite beverage, since it features a wide mouth and removable lid. The lid's handle makes it easy to lift off for adding more ice, fruit, or sweeteners when needed. Amply sized to hold 3 gallons, the container features a no-drip, easy-pull spout for dispensing. Great for parties or everyday use, the beverage dispenser makes a great gift for newlyweds or new homeowners. Hand wash and rinse for easy care.

Bormioli Rocco Kufra Glass Jug with Ice Container and Lid Review

Hi,
If you are looking for a medium sized pitcher with good looks and functionality, this is the pitcher for you. Continue reading below for my pros and cons regarding the Bormioli Chiller.
Pros:
*The chiller looks very nice. It's compact and easily fits in the second shelf in my fridge
*Hard glass; definitely made of quality glass--not the cheap ones that seem like they'll break with a slight tap of your nails.
*Ice Container is a very nice feature. Fill the plastic tube with as many ice cubes as will fit; your drinks will be cold w/out being watery
*Drinks pour our easily w/out spilling unto your floors or whereever else, just be careful not to pour too fast or naturally it'll spill
Cons:
*As advertised, the components are plastic, i.e the white lid cover, stirrer (I recall one reveiwer mentioning they never received it, well it was supplied with the pitcher)and plastic ice tube.
*unlike the good quality glass, i felt the plastic was cheap and flimsy; guess you can't have everything in one product
*Handle is short and I wish it was longer
Overall I gave this pitcher a 4 b/c of the cons and also b/c it appeared larger in the picture or maybe it was me. In any case, this is a great picher for a single person or very small family. I definitely recommend buying this and keeping your drinks cold this summer! Enjoy.

Ideal for icy cold lemonade, refreshing sweet tea, and more, this 72-3/4-ounce pitcher offers a stylish way to serve up perfectly chilled beverages with graceful ease. The unit's thick glass construction ensures durability and long-lasting beauty, while its ergonomic, integrated handle and built-in pour spout make it simple to carry and dispense. Transparent for quick identification and lovely display of its contents, the unique pitcher features an innovative vertical tube that prevents ice from diluting beverages. To use, simply fill the pitcher with liquid and the tube with cubed or crushed ice. Attach the tube to the lid, and insert the tube and lid into the pitcher to hold beverages at the optimal temperature for consumption--without the splashes, spills, and watered-down flavor caused by melting ice. Best of all, the pitcher and its corresponding plastic lid and stirring stick can be placed in the dishwasher (top rack recommended) for thorough cleaning between uses. Made in Italy, the chiller pitcher arrives packed in a gift-worthy box and measures approximately 6-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches.
