Mr. Coffee TM3-2 3-Quart Ice Tea Maker

Comment: I have bought 3 of these tea makers and although they make good tea, the only ones in your house that will enjoy it is your kitchen counter or the bottom of your refrigerator. The pitcher will crack after only a few uses. I originally thought that it was because I put it in the dishwasher, so the next one I bought I washed only by hand. It also cracked and flooded my produce drawer and meat drawer of my fridge. I wrote to mr coffee and they did send replacement pitchers.....They all cracked after a few uses. I later bought a tm75 because the plastic was not supposed to be so brittle and cheap. this one was designed so poorly that it still leaks everywhere. The drip from the brewing basket is supposed to drip onto the spout of the pitcher, but it doesn't line up correctly and instead drips between the pitcher and the brewer. It ruined the grout of my floor tile. Wrote to Mr Coffee and waiting for a response. Either way, DO NOT waste your money on this brand.

Comment: We've had this ice tea maker for several years and it has consistently worked great for us. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is because the (plastic) pitchers only last about a year before they start cracking and leaking. We've gone through three pitchers already and I am about to order our fourth. If Mr. Coffee could make a higher quality pitcher, this product would be perfect.

Comment: After 3 years with an older Mr Coffee Iced tea maker - noted leaking when tea brewing. Thought it was from a faint crack at base of pitcher beneath spout. (though none leaked while in refrigerator...) Bought new TM75 - it leaks even worse! I thought I'd perhaps did not have the pitcher firmly in place - not so - it was perfectly placed. First 1/2 ounce or so flowed nicely into pitcher. After that - it all began leaking down front of team maker ! By the time it was done - counter was soaked; tea had leaked onto our Laminate flooring! Thank God I was right there to wipe up the spill before the flooring was ruined!!!!! Seriously dissappointed!

Comment: I bought one for both our office and our home, this makes excellent tasting tea. I love the fact you can make different amounts of tea and that it now makes 3 quarts, the older style only had the 2 quart option. I haven't had any troubles with the pitcher, but I do not wash it in the dishwasher, I always hand wash it. And I do like that I can buy replacements if needed.

Comment: I have owned several of these tea pots and the design has all been different. The problem with this on is when you're not using it and it's stored away, don't touch it because the basket and lid do not lock and they are always falling apart. I store it in a bottom cabinet and every time I try to get something else out the pot falls apart. I waste more time looking for pieces. Also the pitcher is disgusting looking after months of use. It looks like the plastic is melting away or something. Hope I'm not getting poisioned!
