MR.COFFEE TM-50P - Makes great-tasting Iced Tea or Iced Coffee Brews tea bags and tea leaves. Adjustable tea steeping control allows brewing strength of tea to fit your desired taste.
Summary: It does what it was designed to do 2009-11-04
Comment: Well, it does serve its purpose, by making iced tea. I give it a 4 because I find the carafe to be bulky, and yes, sometimes it does spill because of the awkward shape. Apparently you can use a coffee filter and use loose tea instead of bags, or make sweet tea by putting the sugar in the filter with the tea. At this point, Lipton Cold Brew tea has obviated the need for an iced tea maker, but it was useful for a time anyway.

Summary: Makes a mess everywhere 2009-04-28
Comment: Like the others, I am shocked this product is still on the market. I have had this tea maker for about 4 years now, and for the past year it spills everywhere when you try to pour the awkward shaped/heavy pitcher. Looking for a replacement. Also, the double insulated acrylic has cracked so much, and there is now tea that has somehow seeped in between the layers. Impossible to clean.

Comment: This product makes a big mess all over the counter top. Great if you like cleaning up tea. Tried to contact Mr. Coffee for any type of help with no response whatsoever. Really surprised that this product is still on the market.

Summary: Makes good tea BUT SPILLS EVERYWHERE!!!!!! 2005-07-02
Comment: This tea maker from Mr. Coffee makes wonderful tea. BUT it is ALWAYS spilling when pouring into a glass. VERY messy little carafe. I highly recommend NOT purchasing this model. I am very surpised this model even passed inspection.
