Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mr. Coffee TM3-2 3-Quart Ice Tea Maker
Customer Review: Low-quality
Summary: 1 Stars
After less than 2 years of use BOTH of my pitchers have cracked at the seam and now leak tea. I'm moving to a better brand.Customer Review: Awesome tea maker
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best iced tea maker. We are on our 3rd maker and very glad to see this is back to the original style. Customer Review: Make sure you use right away twice
Summary: 2 Stars
The first 1 I received was broken but I did not know until the 2nd time I used it. The button to start the process may already be pushed when it arrives so if the the button is broken you will not find out until you make your second pot.
The tea is good and pretty convenient to use.
Customer Review: Top expanded and no longer fit pitcher
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this teamaker and use it regularly. However, all of a sudden the top wouldn't fit the pitcher. When I couldn't believe it no longer fit, I forced it and the pitcher cracked! So I guess the bottom line is the quality of the plastic being used is not dependable over the long haul. (I've only had this--my second one--about a year!) But I do love the convenience and the resulting tea when it works and will just end up buying another one. Somehow I feel that's a rip-off and that the item should not be built as if it were a disposable item.Customer Review: Pretty Cheap Merchandise!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've owned a Mr Coffee Iced Tea Pot for probably 10 years now. We bought one of the original models in a walmart years ago, and they looked pretty much the same -- White and teal with a clear pitcher. We took good care of that one (used a wooden spoon to stir it to avoid scratches, ran cleaner through the machine every few months to remove buildup, etc. The original package had 2 pitchers, and one of them was always in use it seems :)
Last fall the last pitcher finally gave up and started leaking from a seam, and they no longer sold that same pitcher as a replacement, so I bought a TM-3 and a 2nd pitcher, they looked to just be the "new" version of a well made product.
Sadly this is NOT the case. Where the old one had the filter-holder sitting on top of the pitcher, this one has you insert the spout into a slot, and line up a notch on the bottom. The filter cover and the lids don't fit together well, and its harder to wash the filter-holder.
The WORST part is the new pitcher. It has a "flip top" spout cover with a strainer on it, but its impossible to poor evenly! The tea "stream" is almost always wider than a common kitchen glass, so you're going to drip or dribble at some point.
Even worse, the plastic is VERY low quality; both pitchers, only a few months old now leak - oddly from the exact same point, in the lower front near the "square" notch in the base (There's a place where the seams meet)
It leaks slowly during brewing, but when done, i add the rest of the water to fill the pitcher, and the added "weight" begins to make the drip worse.
I'm going to order a replacement to see if it was a fluke, but I was saddened to see an old favorite get worse instead of better
