I bought this for my boyfriend as a christmas gift because he loves iced tea and buys the pre-brewed ones in the store for about $3 per liter. I can't even imagine how much money this has saved us already! We've used this 4-5 times a week since christmas and it still works perfectly. It makes very good tea and is very simple to use. Some things that I think could be improved on are the pitcher and the water compartment. The glass pitcher could be a little thicker, and a removable water compartment would make washing it out a lot easier. Really though, it's great the way it is.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the second unit I have purchased...same problem...What is up with this thin GLASS PITCHER...IT IS WORTHLESS ..I would pay more if the quality of the glass were better. The pitcher breaks so so easy ..The only reason for buying it was my wife liked it ..after this Break we are DONE
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is the second one I have bought. The first one still works but I broke the carafe to it after 5 years. Yes I see a lot of reviews stating the carafe is too thin but to tell you the truth, if you watch what you do with it the carafe can last for a long time. Mine was 5 years old and it fell from the counter to the sink. The tea maker gets a 5 star from me. I have had no problems with the new one or the latter one. I love the tea flavor from the brew. You can make a slow brew or fast brew depending on how strong you like your tea. I do suggest that you transfer the tea to another pitcher to put in fridge. This may be were a lot of people complain of the carafe breaking.
I debated for months whether to buy this, based on mixed reviews regarding the quality of the carafe (easily broken/cracked), the unit leaking, etc. I've had it over a month now and have made a pitcher of iced tea about every 5 days. I love it! It's so much better than the plastic model. I can get the pitcher itself cleaner (no staining) and it's not as fragile as others have made it seem. It's so easy to make the tea - don't have to use a paper filter - and I like that you can adjust the strength. I'm only using 6 tea bags now, where with the plastic model I was using twice that! The size of the pitcher fits better in my fridge, too. Overall, VERY happy that I took the gamble and tried this!
I would recommend this to a friend!

great concept, worthless execution

4 enjoyable pitchers of tea, ice cube dropped 4 inches due to difficulty of to having to "lay" ice on bottom of frail vessel = $10.00 per pitcherful, not good. Mr Coffee should redesign and reinforce this GLASS unit and distribute it at no cost to people who, trusting this brand for decades, purchased brewing system.
I used my last Mr. Coffee ice makers until they died. This one is my favorite with the glass pitcher. I can put it on my table and its not all coffee stained as my old plastic pitchers were. People talk about glass pitchers breaking, so I ordered a couple extra pitchers. However, I let the tea brew into a plastic beer pitcher and then transfer it into the glass pitcher. My husband says not necessary as long as you don't put ice cubes in the glass pitcher and let hot tea drip into it. The change in temperatures is what could possibly lead to pitcher breaking. The sleek black unit looks good on my kitchen counter also.

I've had this product for at least 6 months, but I have now broken my 2nd pitcher. It costs $20 to replace and the shipping is slooooww. Other than that, it works well.
