 Bodum Ceylon Ice Tea Maker September 14, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I read many reviews before purchasing this item. My thoughts:
1. Absolutely the easiest way to make great iced tea. I put 10 tea bags into the infuser, then fill the pitcher half way with boiling water. Stir a little, then add sugar. I let it steep 15 minutes, longer if you want it stronger. Then pour the contents into a container and right into the fridge.
2. People complain the infuser gets dirty. Solution: use tea bags instead of loose leaf tea. I bet soaking the infuser in some bar keepers friend would dissolve a lot of that residue.
3. The lid is flimsy. Since I read reviews before I bought it, I know to be careful with the lid. The lid is the worst feature, very flimsy.
A very EASY way to make a pitcher of ice tea. Using tea bags, clean up is a SNAP. The infuser works quite well and imparts the flavor quickly.
 not up to Bodum standards September 13, 2008
I really wanted to like it but I can't recommend this product. The construction is flimsy, particularly the lid and its attachment to the pitcher. I can see this breaking. The infuser insert slips out of its track easily, which is a minor annoyance but it just makes the thing feel cheap. The deal-breaker for me is that the infuser lets tons of tea leaves escape. I tried to brew green tea and there were so many tea leaves that escaped through the infuser that I had to pour it all out through a strainer into another container, totally defeating the purpose of this pitcher. It might work for you if you are infusing large sprigs of tea, herbs, etc. but it was useless for green tea leaves. Bodum typically makes great stuff. This is a disappointing exception. I'll think twice before buying anything plastic from Bodum in the future.

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 August 29, 2008
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 August 26, 2008
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.
