"great ice tea"
we really enjoy this tea maker it is so easy to make tea just add what you like and cold water refrigerate and fresh tea the next day

"Best of a mediocre lot"
After disappointment with various electric iced tea pots from Mr. Coffee, Hamilton Beach, etc., we decided to go low tech in our house.

The nice thing about this unit is that it is self contained, so no chance of the kind of filter-to-container mess that we had with Mr. Coffee. And really, it's so easy to heat a kettle of water and pour into the unit, meaning one less appliance to constantly plug and unplug, or dedicate precious kitchen counter space to.

On the negative side, hot (not even boiling, just properly hot) water deforms the plastic, incrementally, but fairly quickly. I know from 8 years experience with a plastic Braun kettle (electric) that they could fix that, in terms of design, but I guess ALL the tea maker - erm - makers, have decided to go the planned obsolescence route. In a time when everything is rapidly getting more expensive, I refuse to buy crap-that-breaks-fast (or repeat patronize makers thereof), so Bodum has lost my future business, and I continue to search for the perfect off-stove iced tea pot.

"Simply Overpriced...."
For a heavy tea drinker the Bodum Ceylon system could have been a great idea. The pitcher stains very easily. No matter how much elbow grease is applied, the vented spout region remains stained. Another negative point is the fact that it is not shatter proof. One drop and its history. Definitely not recommended for families with little ones running about. Thankfully, we acquired this product at no charge via the Amazon buy 3 items and get the 4th free promotion. Personally, I now wish that we had opted for a different item for this promotion.

"Pitcher review"
I love to put mint and strawberries, or citrus, into the "chamber" for a refreshing flavor. The only flaw is handle is should be placed lower - water is heavy and can put strain on the wrist.

"great gift for ice tea lovers"
I purchased this as a gift for my father. He's always made sun tea in a giant pickle jar, which is not so easy to pour. Amazing he's done that for 30 years. Anyway, he loves this ice tea maker. It fits well in the fridge, makes a lot of ice tea, and has a separate compartment for the tea bags or lemons. He's overall very pleased with it.

What our customer's say!

"Better than expected", I wasn't sure I'd like this when I ordered it, but it works great. Smart, flexible design. Although tall, the slim shape works well in a crowded refrigerator. I'd like something bigger but I'd buy another one of these.

"So far, so good", When the large glass mayonaisse jar I used for tea broke, I didn't think I would be able to get a suitable replacement. I bought this based on the online reviews. I was leary of a plastic vs. a glass container. So far it has worked very well. It is easy to use(brewing the tea right in the container). And the tea tastes great. It is much easier to pour out of than the old jar too!

"Iced-Tea Maker and Infuser", I like the size of the maker but the infuser needs improvement. The holes are too big and the tea leaves come out. The infuser warped right away after it came in contact with hot water. I don't use their infuser anymore. It works great with a large mesh ball infuser on a chain. The lid is very flimsy and I don't expect it to last very long.

"Bodum Ceylon 102 Ounce Iced Tea Maker", Looks great, fits in the door of the refrigerator. An additonal set of strainer teeth attached to the lid, that fit into the pouring spout, help prevent loose tea in the pitcher from being poured out into your serving glasses.

However, the lid seems flimsy & likely to break, and it appears that it may not be replaceable if it does break.

The removeable straining column may make you think that you want to try using loose tea, but I would advise against that thought if lingers in your brain too long. Unless you've got the extra time to mess around with loose tea, but in an office setting, you may get a second glance from the boss when they go past you as you're making the tea, and you're still there cleaning up when they return 5 minutes later.

Finally, I purchased this with the idea that by making iced tea at work, I could cut way down on soda purchases from the vending machines. However, two 20 oz glasses are way more caffiene than I need in a day, and so it may take 4-5 work days to finish 1 - 102 oz. pitcher. I would have been just fine with the 51 ounce size.

"Great product", Makes iced tea easy! I was having a difficult time finding a heat proof plastic container for making iced tea, which I always like to have in the refrigerator. With Bodum Ceylon Iced Tea Maker, you just pour in the hot water and when you tea had reach the desired strength, remove the infuser, and its done.
My only complaint: I wish they had one even bigger!!!

"Esthetic & mostly practical", I love the look of this pitcher plus the idea of the infuser which works well. In reality, the pitcher is a bit too tall and somewhat difficult to manage but neither is such a problem that I wouldn't order another. What is bothersome and negates a full recommendation is the lid which is flimsy with rough edges of the ridged knob just above the handle. It also seems a little pricey to me.

"Best darn Sun Tea Container", The Bodum Ceylon 102 ounce iced-tea maker is great for making Sun Tea! I had been looking for a high quality container to use... and the water infuser is a wonderful way to use loose tea as well. A great product!

"Great Buy", I bought the pitcher as a mother's day gift because our family pitcher had broken and my mother makes and consumes ridiculous amounts of tea. I have to say, it was a great buy. The pitcher arrived early, and in perfect condition. It is large enough to get several full glasses of tea from, and the slide for loose tea is great. The slide is somewhat loosely attached, which is great, because if I am just using it to make tea from bags, then I can easily remove it and have a relatively normal pitcher, but it works fine just the same. I haven't noticed any kind of warping or melting from the material, as I was worried about this upon buying a synthetic pitcher, but it has held up well with regular use. the cons? the top is a bit flimsy, and I wish the lid was removable (top=lid). I wish it had a heavier feel, because as sturdy as it is, I always feel as though it could break easily. I would say it is a very good buy, because its structure suits its function perfectly, and it accomplishes its job well, having only minor drawbacks. Verdict: buy it.

"Good enough, not great", 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.

"Bodum Ceylon iced tea maker & infusion", With summer here in the Arizona desert, we're already drinking lots of iced tea. I purchased the larger of the sizes offered and it just barely fits in the fridge....but it fits. It's handy since it's oblong shape. We are able to use loose tea and tea bags. However, loose tea isn't so readily available at regular grocery stores so tea bags will be the norm. Cutting up a whole orange or lemon and "fusing" that with the tea does make the tea taste yummy. It's not glass so not so heavy when filled to the top.
