The BTäT- Airtight Cold Brew Coffee Maker has an exquisite design and comes in a slender glass body that keeps your tea fresh. The body is made of thick borosilicate glass which allows it to withstand high temperatures without suffering any degradation. The tea maker also offers a strong, airtight lid that keeps your tea fresh for a long time after being made. With the tight lid, the tea is allowed to retain its flavour while at the same time reducing oxidation. Furthermore, this ingenious product offers a fine dual mesh stainless steel filter that works as an infuser whilst keeping the grains and granules out when it releases the flavour in spades.

What’s more, this product can also be used with coffee – thanks to the filter, the coffee grains also stay out of your brew. Additionally, the overall design of the tea maker means it is easy to carry about and is uniquely suited for your fridge. Storage is not a problem, neither is cleaning, as both the tea maker and the filter are dishwasher safe. There is no plastic in sight with the BTäT tea maker and therefore, you are a lot safer from BPA and other harmful chemicals.

This could be an expensive undertaking that could leave your pocket a little lighter than you would like. This is where Mr. Coffee’s 3 Qt. Replacement Pitcher comes in. As the name implies, it is a replacement pitcher which you can get if the old one is damaged or lost thanks to its ability to retain the very best of the pitcher – furthermore, it still comes with 3Qts which is a lot of tea.

The Mr. Coffee replacement pitcher also works well with the TM70 model and can also be used to make coffee. The pitcher is made out of  polystyrene which is lightweight and easy to cart around. It is also BPA safe and you can be rest assured that prolonged use of the tea maker won’t put you in any danger healthwise. The measurements are also clearly put on the side of the pitcher, so you can easily see just how much tea you’re making and produce accordingly. What’s more, the pitcher is easy to pour out of, so there is no need to worry about spillage. It is also really simple to clean and maintain.

We’ve talked about the BTäT before and the marvelous feature that are contained therein. What this BTäT- Cold Brew Mason Jars Coffee Maker provides, however, is a lovely variant that comes with an impressive array of features. First is the design. The tea maker comes in a Mason jar and it spouts a nice little dispenser at the bottom that looks like a tap from a tavern. It also sports a nice metal seal that keeps your tea/coffee fresh as when it was made. It can hold up to a gallon which is pretty much and can be served to more than one individual. The lid isn’t airtight and this is intentional. The low air flow discourages the vacuum effect and therefore, helps to keep your brew fresh. What’s more, the manufacturer claims that the tea maker can keep the tea/coffee fresh for up to 14 days.

Additionally, the stainless steel filter is easy to remove, rust resistant and made with fine mesh for the best quality of filter you could require. It also keeps the grounds out which also helps to keep the brew pure. What’s more, the BTäT- Cold Brew Mason Jars Coffee Maker is also simple to clean as it features a wide mouth with enough space for the hands. If you can’t be bothered with that, no problem, as the Mason jar can also easily be placed in the dishwasher with no problems. The Mason jar itself is made strong soda-lime glass that can withstand high temperatures and changes in pressure.

Key Features:

Stainless steel filter that is easy to remove

Large 1 gallon jar for multiple servings

Low air flow seal

Durable Mason jar

Specification:
  • BrandBrew To A Tea
  • Weight 4.55 pounds
Pros

It can keep your tea fresh and uncompromised for up to 14 days

The Mason jar is made with strong soda-lime glass

It is really easy to wash

Cons

It can get easily damaged if dropped

The large size makes it difficult to store

The spout could sometimes be loose and leakage can occur

Phyismor Tea Maker

The Phyismor Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker comes highly recommended and makes this list on the strength of its great features. It looks a bit like the Ovalware Iced tea maker and even has some of the same defining features. It comes with a stainless steel filter that is top grade. The filter makes sure your coffee grains or tea granules stay out of your brew. It also has a stainless steel cap that uses a silicone seal which is BPA free and also keeps your brew in optimum condition long after it is brewed.

The body of the tea maker is made of high quality borosilicate glass which is sturdy and can also withstand temperatures of up to 302 °F. The brewing system of this tea maker is also top notch. It extracts all the flavour from your tea or coffee, but what it does that’s interesting is that it doesn’t extract the essential oils in the coffee. This is a shortcoming of paper filters that the Phyismor cold brew coffee maker doesn’t have. Instead, it also makes for a purer brew that is also healthy. It does lack any form of measurement on the glass body and this can make it difficult to keep track of how much tea or coffee is being brewed.

Key Features:

Made with 304 food grade stainless steel filter

Silicone seal to keep tea/coffee fresh

Can be used to make different types of brews

Sturdy borosilicate glass body

Specification:
  • BrandPhyismor
  • Weight 1 pounds
Pros

The glass body is able to withstand extreme temperatures

The Silicone seal is BPA free

It extracts the flavour of the tea/coffee with none of the essential oils

Cons

It doesn’t feature the most friendly grip

It can get damaged pretty easily if not handled right

It isn’t particularly easy to clean the jar

Best Iced Tea Makers Buying Guide & FAQ

In addition to iced tea maker reviews, here a few things to look out for when buying an ides tea maker.

Things to Consider Before Buying an Iced Tea Maker

  • Size

This is a necessary consideration before you buy an Iced tea maker. Most Iced tea makers can take up to a quart of brew and this in turn means they are a lot easier to store. However, you might want something a lot bigger. There are Iced tea makers (like the Mr. Coffee) that can take up to three quarts. While this is great for when you want to serve a large number of people, it can be difficult to store in the average fridge.

  • Mode of Operation

Most Iced tea makers are usually either electric or manual. The two types have their advantages. The manual Iced tea maker, for instance, is usually suitable for outdoor use as it doesn’t need electricity to operate. On the flip side, this usually means the brew takes a lot longer to make. Meanwhile, the electric Iced tea makers can produce a tasty and enjoyable brew in mere minutes. The need for electricity though, means that they can almost never be used outside, neither can they just be easily carried around.

  • Pitcher Durability

People with kids would understand the risk of having glass around toddlers or children. This is why you need to consider what sort of pitcher the Iced tea maker comes in. If you are on your own, or living with fellow adults, then a glass pitcher should be just fine. You might want to consider a plastic pitcher if kids are in the equation.

  • Materials

It is, of course, necessary to consider what materials are used in the making of your Iced tea maker before buying them. Some Iced tea makers are made with high amounts of plastic which means that certains chemicals including BPA, would find their way into your system and be harmful to you. So always keep an eye out to make sure your Iced tea maker only has the best components.

Iced Tea

Benefits of Using an Iced Tea Maker

Here are a few benefits that come with the use of an iced tea maker

  • It saves time- We don’t always have the time to sit down and make our own brew from scratch and thanks to the Iced tea maker, we don’t have to, it does it for us.
  • It takes the stress out of making tea- With an Iced tea maker, all you really have to do is pour in the tea, put it some ice and it does the rest itself
  • It’s healthy- It has been widely asserted that a cold brew is 70 percent less acidic than a hot one. With this in mind, it is clear that with the help of an Iced tea maker, you can keep healthy at all times

How to Use Iced Tea Maker

This is pretty simple to do. First you place the tea (tea bags or loose tea) into the filter. Then you add some hot water up to the halfway point. Let the tea brew. You can then remove the infuser, put in ice till the maker is filled and then you can store in the fridge. If it’s an electric Iced tea maker you can follow the same steps. The only difference is that you can use the electric feature to brew the tea and it takes way less time.

Best Iced Tea Makers FAQ:

Q: How to clean iced tea maker?

A: You can easily clean an Iced tea maker with a brush and some soap. There are some Iced tea makers that have removable components that can be placed in a dishwasher.

Q: Can you make iced coffee in an iced tea maker?

A: Yes. This can easily be done. You can place the coffee into the infuser and let it brew. It can also be used with tea bags or loose tea.

Our Top Pick

The Ovalware RJ3 Airtight Cold Brew Maker is our top pick. The Iced tea maker features an airtight top that seals the container and keeps the brew fresh. The manufacturers claim that the brew can be kept fresh for weeks. The container is also engineered to fit into your fridge which makes it easy to store.

The airtight seal is also BPA free and you can be rest assured that there won’t be any hazardous chemicals in your brew. You can now sit back and enjoy your refreshing Iced tea.
