A little slow, but works great
The Mr. Coffee 2-Qt brewing machine works very well. Using either tea bags, loose bulk tea, or cutting open the tea bags to serve as bulk tea, the brewing process takes only about 5 minutes. About 1 qt of water is heated in the back of the machine (the reservoir) and, once turned on using a simple push button on the front, heats the water which feeds into the top of the serving container.
The container holds 2 qt's or so of ice. The bulk tea (or tea bags) are held at the top where the hot water flows over the tea bags or your coffee filters holding the bulk tea, and then flows down over the ice in the serving pitcher. Since the water is near boiling, the ice melts quickly resulting in about 2 qt. of tea.
Tea bags don't work very well since the hot water barely touches them sitting in the filter compartment. Paper coffee filters can be used, sitting in the filter compartment at the top of the serving container. It seems either spooning bulk tea into a standard coffee filter, or cutting open the tea bags and emptying them into a coffee filter, works best resulting in excellent quality tea.
Sweetener can be added in the filter compartment to sweeten the tea as it is brewed by placing the sweetener in the filter compartment either with the bulk tea, or simply arranged with the tea bags.
Overall, the Mr. Coffee 2-Qt brewing machine is a great value for fresh-brewed tea in a hurry!
