This pitcher does what it says, but after using it for a few months I have to wonder if this pitcher is special enough to warrant the price. The 'pull in-pull out' compartment that holds tea bags or lemons is nice. But the plastic is so thin after a few uses it starts to warp out of shape. If youre not supposed to pour hot water in the pitcher, what is the point of using it? I really like the slim-ness of the pitcher overall (fits in the fridge well), and I don't mind its small capacity, but its overall fragile build leaves me wishing the manufacturers would have just created something more sturdy. I'd say someone is better off just brewing tea in a regular tupperware pitcher for half the price.

i bought this teamaker because i interpreted the description to mean that it somehow brewed iced tea more easily than the usual boil-the-water-cool-it-off method. i found that the overnight in cold water method recommended makes really uninteresting tea. i started using the traditional boiling water method.
since i bought this two years ago, i have had none of the problems more recent users have mentioned. the plastic on my model seems quite sturdy, so i suspect even bodum has succumbed to cheap manufacturing in the interim.
as a convenient pitcher to cool and store iced tea in, its nice. and removing the tea leaves after brewing is simple with the insert--no need to juggle two containers and a seive. but it certainly isn't a clever, easier way to make iced tea.

I owned this for several years (many of which was spent in storage) until I gave this away to a friend. This is probably decent for a light tea drinker, but given the amount of tea I drink on a daily basis (8-10 cups per day), it just did not work for me. Also, the holes in the "so-called-strainer" are too big - I got a lot of sediment when I brewed loose leaf tea. I've since moved on to a stainless steel mesh strainer which produces much better results. In fact, what I've been using for years, I bought right here at Amazon. It's the "Bodum Teabowl". It's quite a bit more expensive (when I bought it 3 years ago it was $59.99 - now its $99.95) but I've used this thing every day since, and all it needs to stay looking new is a good cleaning from time to time. But, if you're a casual tea drinker that doesn't care about extra sediment in your tea, this is a decent low cost choice.
