Megahome Glass Collection Bottle 1 Gallon Review

Megahome Glass Collection Bottle 1 Gallon
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
$45 for a glass container?Way too much, but nothing else will fit the distiller properly.You could buy a microwave oven for that much! Some assembly required and NO instructions; not too hard to figure out though.Looks nice, but a full gallon of water weighs about 8 pounds so don't try to lift the full container just by the handle.

Bodum Biasca 40-Ounce Glass Iced Tea Maker Review

Bodum Biasca 40-Ounce Glass Iced Tea Maker
Average Reviews:

(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.

Rubbermaid Servin Saver White Mixing Pitcher 2 Qt. Review

Rubbermaid Servin Saver White Mixing Pitcher 2 Qt.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm glad I bought this pitcher
I think it's very nice
It fits well in the fridge's door
With quarts of juice and ice

It's nice and wide for filling
You'll never waste a drop
It holds two quarts of water
With a multi-purpose top

Kool-Aid Twist comes as a mix
A fetching shade of blue
I poured the powder in the cap
To measure for my brew

Kool-Aid first and water next
Now let the fun begin
I moved the handle up and down
to blend the powder in

Seconds later I was done
So proud of my success
I mixed two quarts of yummy drink
Without making a mess
Amanda Richards, April 25, 2008Note: The cover has three positions - open, closed, and the one with that strainer thing to hold back the ice when pouring.The only problem I foresee is that the cover fits fairly loosely, and may come off when pouring the last dregs from the pitcher.It may be advisable to keep your hand on the lid when decanting.

Somebody should've invented this ages ago! No more swirling with spoons that are too short, or risking a shaking maneuver; this pitcher has an agitator inside that can be spun with the handle to mix up powdered lemonade, fruit punches, iced tea and more.

Zojirushi Premium Thermal Carafe Review

Zojirushi Premium Thermal Carafe
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have tried a half dozen different brands over the years and this brand is excellent.I was in a coffee shop in Asheville NC and got a cup of coffee from a larger version of this product.I remarked to the server that the coffee was certainly hot and that he must have just made a fresh pot.He said the coffee was about 4 hours old and said his wife (the owner of the shop) had tested about a half dozen different brands of carafes prior to deciding on Zojirushi.He said she found it the best on the market.He indicated that they frequently take excess coffee from the day home and have it straight from the carafe the next morning and find it hot.
I got the product name and went to Amazon to read the reviews on this product prior to purchasing and was therefore aware of the problems identified by the reviewers here.I have now owned the carafe for about a year and use it most days.I usually run hot water into the carafe and let it heat up the container prior to pouring coffee and sealing it.I have kept coffee very hot for over 24 hours.Of course, the secret is to always close the carafe (check the slot to insure it is closed) back immediately after pouring a cup.I also wash the top in a dishwasher after use.This allows water to enter the top (as noted by one reviewer).I turn the top so that the horizontal hole in the side is at the bottom and the water pours out.I shake it a few times and it is good to go.
I find the product more than adequate to prevent coffee from tasting stale.I frequently make 10-12 cups of coffee at a time and pour a few cups then put the remainder into a carafe and seal it until further use.I find the coffee hours later as good as a freshly made cup of coffee.I usually drink the carafe of coffee within 4-6 hours.
After using several other similar products I find this product superior to those products therefore warranting a 5-star rating.
The one disadvantage was the higher price but after a year of use from a value consideration, it is worthwhile.

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

Bodum 10619-10 Ceylon 102-Ounce Iced-Tea Maker and Water Infuser
Average Reviews:

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.
