BP: I read the reviews from others and, because of them, decided to give this iced tea maker a try. I was not disappointed. I've had it for about a month and have used at least once everyday. I love it. I agree that the pitcher could have been made a little sturdier(the only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me) but, since I immediately transfer the tea to another container and hand rinse everything it's not going to be an issue. It will hold up for a very long time.
The machine is very simple to use. I, per directions, put one quart of water into the machine and then put about 1 INCH of cold water in the pitcher and add ice until almost the 1 quart line on the pitcher. I do this because the container that I transfer the tea to doesn't have a very large opening(2qt. juice bottle). To fill the pitcher with ice to the 2qt line on the pitcher(per mfg. directions) would require me to wait a long time for the ice to melt enough to make it an easy pour into my "holding container".
Either way, the pitcher needs to be protected by ice/cool water from the very hot tea dripping into it or it could heat fracture over time. The 2qt rectangular type juice bottles are great because...

The good: The brew tower doesn't take up much space. Its narrow design allows it to remain flat against a wall when it's not in use (the pitcher is always in the fridge as I always make sure there's iced tea available). The pitcher itself is also narrow so you can put it on the door or right up against the side of the fridge. The brewing section is part of the pitcher itself so there's only water going in the brew tower and coming out. There is a brew tray that slides out from the brew tower to hold the pitcher in the correct position, this helps ensure the hot water...
