Tea lovers can enjoy their favorite beverage year-round and in ample quantities with this Bodum Ceylon jumbo iced-tea maker. Designed to brew and pour with the same container, the Ceylon features a removable filter so you can steep tea to your exact preference. This means iced tea is ready quickly and tastes great, and it works with loose leaf or bagged teas. Thanks to its clever design, the Ceylon also doubles as an infusing pitcher, allowing you to add citrus or herbal flavors to water, juice, or punch. With a generous 102-ounce capacity, the pitcher keeps you in iced tea all afternoon and should be washed by hand for best results. A trimmer 51-ounce version is also available. --Emily Bedard

Good product January 10, 2010

Shipped on time, although I thought I ordered one, but received and paid for two. Willing to assume operator error.
Cracked Out on Iced Tea December 28, 2009
Jaffa L. Panken (Philadelphia, PA United States)
This pitcher is one of my favorite non-sentimental belongings. I love iced tea--not just in the summer. When everyone else is drinking lattes and hot chocolate in the middle of a blizzard, I order an iced tea. The ability to have my favorite loose teas brewed and ready in my fridge makes me happier than you could safely imagine. Usually I choose my tea, heat up some hot water (not boiling) in my water kettle and let it steep until concentrated. Then I add cold water, take out the filter and chill for a bit. It also works well to use all cold water and leave the leaves in overnight.
Despite my general love of this pitcher, there are some issues. First, it is a real pain to clean out the filter once the tea leaves have expanded. In fact, I got a crack in the filter trying to knock out a clump of tea debris. A little bit of superglue and it was fine. Maybe if they had a trapdoor at the bottom of the filter, this wouldn't be an issue at all.
In short, my unhealthy obsession with tea leads me to excuse these few drawbacks (and the price). There's nothing classier that serving gourmet iced tea with a side of pizza rolls (grad student).
 Would have paid no more then $12 October 8, 2009
B. Annan (Kansas City)
I felt robbed after paying $30 and when opening the box found a plastic pitcher with simple insert. I brought this to work where there is not a dish washer so in little time the inside of the insert started to stain where I could not reach to physically wash it off. been using the pitcher for 1 year now, looking back on this product I should have looked at the picture just realized its a $30 plastic pitcher and nothing more, moved on and found a $12 plastic pitcher.
interesting tea idea July 6, 2009
M. A. Florin (Florida)
This simple looking pitcher is an ingenious device! It makes good iced tea. I do believe that the $30.00 price tag is a bit high; $15.00 at most is what it's worth.
Try it anyway, you'll appreciate the results.
 Worked okay for 1.5 years, still searching for *real* iced tea pitcher June 7, 2009

I bought two of these about 18 months ago. The product immediately warped from the hot water to the point that the infusers would stick and jam when being inserted or removed, so I stopped using the infusers.
The plastic also immediately stained from the iced tea, and no amount of scrubbing would clean them.
Today, when pouring the hot water into one of them I heard a distinct "crack" sound, and looked down to see a crack along the side. The entire reason I bought a non-glass pitcher was so that it would survive being doused with boiling hot water.
So, one of my two pitchers is dead, they do a workmanlike job as tea pitchers, but I'll look elsewhere for replacements.
