Worked great, lasted many years.
Joe•September 26, 2016
This cost $12 when I bought it. It lasted for many years, and countless dozens of gallons of tea.
It never stopped working. The pitcher started to wear out, and I got a new iced tea maker with a glass pitcher. I got rid of this one because I didn't have room for both.
Considering the price I paid and the use I got out of it, it was an absolute steal. I see they are now asking $58 for a used one, which I would not pay.

Pitcher eventually cracks, but the tea is unsurpassed
AGO•September 4, 2009
We have owned several of these iced tea makers over the last 15 years and I have just purchased another two. The pitchers do evenually crack because of the heat of the water released into the spout, however, the quality of the iced tea produced is absolutely perfect.
After reading reviews, we tried the Hamilton Beach iced tea maker because of the issue with the Mr. Coffee pitchers but the tea made was not nearly as good and we are back to the Mr. Coffee. The wonderful tea is worth replacing the iced tea pitchers every few years and they do get daily use in our household--one for regular, one for decaf. (We usually replace the entire unit since it is not much more expensive than the pitchers.)
Note: We use 3 Luzianne family-size tea bags, either regular or decaf, for the 3-quarts of tea. Make sure to stir the pitcher before serving because the tea made at the end is weaker than the tea made at the start of the cycle.

Great Tea - but mass defect pitcher!
Eddie•July 18, 2009
I would like to throw my .02 in with everyone else. The Mr. Coffee TM3 makes the best ice tea (I don't bother with any other type - your mileage may vary). The tea bags don't float to the top, like they did in the hamilton Beach piece of junk I bought. The tea will steep some in the brewer, which makes it as strong or weak as you like.
The main problem, as eveyone has pointed out, is the pitcher. It will crack right down the front after about 3-4 months. Go ahead an buy a couple as spares, as it is going to happen. You can write Mr. Coffee till you are blue in the face, but they refuse to do anything about the issue.
So in summary, good tea, crappy design.

Almost There
G. Massey•January 4, 2009
I decided to upgrade from the 2Qt to the 3Qt, simply because we drink so much tea everyday. I only wish my Ice Maker could keep up!.
Everything is perfect except 2 things.
1.) The pitcher lid lifts up and down to open and close. But will not stay up when placed in the up position! This makes pouring a three handed job, and I rather use one had from pouring and the other hand to hold my glass steady. Oh yeah, I only have two hands by the way. Honestly this is only a problem when i'm kmaking a large amount of tea and am pouring fast like into a jug.
2.) It can be a messy process when removing jug from unit. Always a few drips here and there. Nothing a simple napkin or washcloth can't handle. but i would rather not have to deal with it!
4 stars.

BEWARE Acrylic pitcher + dishwasher = CRACKS!
Erich R. Lippert•December 11, 2008
I have had this model for over 5 years now, and it still makes great tasting southern sweet tea! Though the acrylic pitcher is prone to small cosmetic cracks and discoloration where the hot tea comes in contact with it, it still should give you many years of service when handled properly. I believe there's one fatal mistake that a lot of these unhappy reviewers are making. You can't EVER put acrylic kitchenware in the dishwasher (or microwaves in the case of acrylic measuring cups and mugs), acrylics can't handle the high liquid temperatures in these environments. Stick to hand washing the pitcher, and you'll be fine for years. The other removable components however: pitcher lid, brewing basket, and basket lid, will hold up fine in the top rack of the dishwasher.
