Hamilton Beach Iced Tea Maker
The Hamilton Beach Iced Tea Maker model 40911 is a great little machine to make fresh brewed iced tea. Manufacturers' retail price is $24.99 and this model can be located at just about any big box retailer, such as Kmart and Target, as well as online at any major retailer's website. This tea maker features an indicator light that tells the user that the machine is on and an automatic shut off turning off the maker when the tea is brewed. The tea brews in as little as 10 minutes, enabling the user to get the fresh iced tea they want.
The user can also determine how strong their tea is with the adjustable indicator enabling one person to have a weaker tea while another prefers very strong tea. It is not necessary to buy the disposable paper filters as this machine has a built in filter. The owner can also brew iced tea from any regular tea bag or even use loose tea for other flavor combinations.
The pitcher used with the machine is very compact, fitting in the door of most refrigerators. For those who like a lot of iced tea in their day, additional pitchers may be purchased from the Hamilton Beach Company website. Another nice feature to this machine is the limited color on the entire unit. Some iced tea makers come in colors that are not favored by every iced tea drinker. This model is mostly white with a little gray making it a pleasing additional to any kitchen countertop.
This model is also a very highly rated product by many purchasers. The product maintains a 4.5 out of 5 star rating on many retailers' online websites. There is a one year warranty including in the packaging as well as complete operating instructions from the manufacturer. It is important to note here that the Hamilton Beach Company recommends that the user wash the washable components and brew a trial of just water through the machine on the first use to eliminate any particles that may be in the product from shipping.
The tea maker and pitcher are very compact and easy to store away, but takes up little room on a countertop if left out for continuous usage. Leakage only appears to occur if the user overfills the unit with the required amount of water. The pitcher has indicator lines which will tell the user how much ice and how much water to use.
