Making a big pitcher of iced tea is incredibly simple with the Capresso Iced Tea Maker. All kinds of teas, loose leaf or in a bag can be used with this handy appliance. You can even adjust the strength of your brew accordingly. Operating the machine is easy with just the click of a button. The machine works similarly to a coffee maker. Water is poured into the back and tea is added to the permanent filter. The difference is you fill the carafe with ice and let the tea brew right over it.
