Product Description

Amazon.com Review

What a great way to make and serve iced tea! This modern pitcher with a loop handle is made of borosilicate glass, the kind used in laboratory equipment, which is lightweight yet extremely tough. When those lazy summer days roll around, here's what you do: Put a few tablespoons of loose-leaf tea in the cylindrical plastic filter, add hot water about halfway up, and let it brew to the desired strength. Remove the filter to stop the brewing process, and add cold water and ice cubes. Or, instead of tea, fill the filter with freshly cut citrus slices for infused water, or add red wine for sangria. The santoprene edge on the stainless-steel lid helps seal in freshness while the pitcher awaits guests.

Great simply as a pitcher for serving any kind of beverage, the Bodum Bistro iced tea maker holds up to 34 ounces of liquid, and measures 9-1/2 by 5 inches. All the parts are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

Product Description

iF & Red Dot Design Award Winner for 2007, The Bistro Ice Tea Jug is a genuine piece of art. It can be used 3 different ways:as a tea jug with a filter, as a sealed beverage container with a lid, and as a simple carafe to serve your beverage of choice. The 34 oz. body of the jug including the handle is made of heat resistant, ultra-light, crystal clear borosilicate glass. This is available with a plastic infuser. To brew, just add your favorite loose-leaf tea and fill half-way with water that is just off of a boil. Allow the tea to brew to your liking then remove the infuser and fill the jug with ice to cool and create a fresh, crisp iced-tea. Works with tea bags as well. The Bistro Iced Tea Maker is also a great infusing pitcher whether you are making infused water, sangria or juice. Dishwasher safe.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fragile paper thin glass spout - avoid!, November 1, 2008

By	Alpha Centauri (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

The glass spout is paper thin and will break with a mere tap by the plastic filter when removing it. Happened to me. I'm getting a refund. Cheap piece of crapola.

3.0 out of 5 stars very pretty pitcher, October 25, 2009

I chose Bodum because I wanted a glass water pitcher that would be elegant yet functional. The pitcher is great for what I needed. I do not use the plastic filter. The lid cap is difficult to keep tightly sealed with the rest of the lid seal. I have not checked if this would work better if I used the plastic filter? I just don't want my daily water to have plastic standing in it all day.
