Bodum Biasca 40-Ounce Glass Iced Tea Maker Review

Bodum Biasca 40-Ounce Glass Iced Tea Maker

(More customer reviews)
Had previously owned the Bodum Ceylon 51oz Iced Tea Pitcher, but the "infuser" was useless from the start and the lid broke after a few uses... so I was excited to see the Biasca Ice Tea Jug as an updated ice tea solution.

First off - please note that this is a COLD BREW iced tea maker which requires 5-6 hours of cold steeping in the fridge.This also means that hot water should never be used.The idea behind a cold brew is to cut down the bitterness or astringency of regular brew iced tea, and also to enhance the more subtle flavors of whichever leaf you're using.

This process and jug produces a very soft, light and delicate iced tea.If you're looking for brisk - keep looking.Even adding heaps of extra tea does not go far in strengthening a cold brew.

Regarding the Biasca, I LOVE the design - my version had a bright green lid and looked fun and modern.The overall size of the jug is also appreciated as it has a small diameter and a comfortable, slim handle.Plus the lid is fantastic - a good rubber seal and a fine mesh that keeps all leaves in the jug and out of your mug.Wonderful!

I wish I could continue enjoying that wonderful design, however, on only my second use, I set a full jug back in the fridge and the bottom two inches of the jug broke off and sent glass and thousands of tiny tea leaves all over my fridge and kitchen floor.

Be warned - this item is extremely fragile!I did not bang or slam the jug against anything, not did I use hot water - and yet it still broke.I'm sure you'll have better luck than I if you understand this going in.Treat it with kid gloves and I'm sure it will be a great iced tea maker for you!

But for me, being that this is the second Bodum tea product that has broken within a few uses, I think I'm calling it a day with their iced tea goods.

As a side note - I'm still a fan of Bodum products. I own many Bodum glasses and a glass teapot and have not had any issues with those even after a few years of use.Just something about their iced tea items....

Product Description:
The distinctive Biasca Iced Tea Jug by Bodum is named after a small town located in the south of Switzerland where it gets unusually warm during otherwise chilly summers. For locals, cold brewed green tea provides exactly the energy kick needed after hiking in the nearby mountains. To recreate this experience at home, place a desired amount of green tea leaves in the Biasca jug and fill it with cold water. Let it steep over night.Add ice cubes and sugar, as desired, the next day. The Biasca features a filter that is integrated into the lid designed to keep the green tea leaves in the jug when pouring tea. The Biasca can also be used to create refreshing infused water and other infused drinks. Additionally, the lid sits tightly on the jug's opening to properly store beverages. The Biasca jug is made of heat-resistant, ultra-light borosilicate glass and does not get cloudy in the dishwasher, even after repeated use. The removable lid is made of plastic with a silicone gasket and an integrated, finely meshed plastic filter. The jug has a capacity of 1.2l (40-ounce) and measures 27 cm (10.6) high.

Tupperware Classic Sheer 1 Gal. Pitcher. Tropical Water/Sea Mist Seal Review

This is the Best Gallon Pitcher available, works great. Cost a little more than some others but well worth it. Gallon size is great if you have a family. We also have a 2 quart of similar classic design, it's a great pitcher but rather small for our use. Actually have and use two of these gallon pitchers. Was skeptical of how well the gallon size would work, but ordered a second one after using it awhile.

Bodum Ceylon Iced Tea Maker with Filter Review

This pitcher does what it says, but after using it for a few months I have to wonder if this pitcher is special enough to warrant the price.The 'pull in-pull out' compartment that holds tea bags or lemons is nice.But the plastic is so thin after a few uses it starts to warp out of shape.If youre not supposed to pour hot water in the pitcher,what is the point of using it?I really like the slim-ness of the pitcher overall (fits in the fridge well), and I don't mind its small capacity, but its overall fragile build leaves me wishing the manufacturers would have just created something more sturdy.I'd say someone is better off just brewing tea in a regular tupperware pitcher for half the price.

Bodum 10619-10 Ceylon 102-Ounce Iced-Tea Maker and Water Infuser Review

This makes good iced tea, but the design leaves a lot to be desired.The handle is at the top, so when full I need two hands to lift it - not balanced well at all.Also, the diffuser is not anchored in any way, so it floats around the pitcher when you are filling with water.Oh, and the worst, most annoying part is that the top won't stay open.The slightest touch makes it slam shut.Just hard to handle overall.
