Iced Tea Maker Appraisal

Mr. Coffee 2.5 Quart Tea Café Iced Tea Maker

This is a contemporary home appliance designed specifically for brewing iced tea. The unit consists of a vertical brewing base made of matte black plastic with silver-toned accents, and it includes a 2.5-quart (approx. 2.4 liters) glass pitcher. The pitcher is cylindrical, constructed from clear, stain-resistant glass with an integrated heavy-duty glass handle. The brewing head features a 'Tea Café' logo and a 'Brew Strength' selector switch on the top right, allowing for customization between mild and strong steep durations. This model is engineered to accommodate both loose tea leaves and standard tea bags via a removable brew basket. The exterior packaging indicates a 'fast brew cycle' and a 'drip-resistant design.' The item is pictured in its original retail cardboard packaging, which shows moderate shelf wear, including visible creases and minor scuffs on the front panel and corners. The box features the 'Mr. Coffee' branding (established in 1970) and highlights the 'Bold Tea + Taste' iced brew technology. The craftsmanship reflects mass-market consumer electronics quality typical of the early 21st century, focusing on utility and modern countertop aesthetics.
