They should either start making these out of a more durable material, or reinforce that seam somehow. It helps to fill the pitcher with hot water instead of iced water, and then put it in the fridge after brewing. I've cracked two. The pitcher feels flexible, but that can cause it to crack as well. You really have to baby these pitchers. The seam that runs down the front of the pitcher will usually crack over time. I found that the quick temperature change is too much for these pitchers, and causes them to eventually split on the seam.Also, do not push the top sideways down into the pitcher.
When I'm up at 4 in the morning (as I am now) and need some caffeine this little baby is my BFF. I recommend hand washing. The pitchers don't last forever and its probably the dishwasher. Actually this particular pitcher I've had for two months and its holding up. Love the tea it makes. (My other BFF is fast asleep).I've had the same experience as other reviewers.
I discovered a trick to clean a tea stained pitcher. All of the stains come clean and the pitcher is like brand new.Gotta love Cascade simply for cleaning the brown out.Happy Brewing. The tea is awesome but the pitcher not so much so. Since you cannot use it in the dishwasher, try soaking it in a sink with dish washing detergent for about 15 minutes.
It fits and works just like the original(which I accidentally melted in my dishwasher). This pitcher is great. If you need an extra or replacement pitcher, this one is for you.
Bon AppeTEAt. The difference in the temperatures, very hot and very cold, makes the plastic crack. Before I purchased the replacement pitcher, I read reviews wherein people said the pitchers, original and replacement, were cracking. Coffee Iced Tea Maker pitchers. Coffee 3 quart iced tea maker and was disappointed when I broke my pitcher I've had for at least 6 years.
Also, clean your tea maker at least once a year with vinegar to get rid of any buildup caused by tap water. DON'T PUT ICE IN THE PITCHER WHEN YOU ARE BREWING THE TEA. I was very pleased to find the replacement pitcher online. I love my Mr. It's exactly what I had before, except, thankfully, it didn't have any stickers on it that when you remove them leave a sticky residue which won't come off, no matter what you clean it with.
I've never had any problems with any Mr.
