Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm sorry, but what are you people even talking about?? Frankly, I'm baffled by all these reviews that make this thing look like the miracle they've been waiting for or can't live without, the thing their friends and families were so impressed by that all of THEM went out straight away and bought their very own pitchers with the cool, brightly-colored lids. Let me get this straight: I add hot water to the pitcher, sink the infuser into the pitcher which naturally displaces some of water that could have held more concentrated tea and then wait the requisite 2-5 minutes for brewing, pull the infuser out and add ice. So in other words, make hot tea into iced tea by adding ice? Which I could already do. With any pitcher or mug or pot or whatever I was already using to brew iced tea. Without spending $25. "Flash chill"?...lol. Um, you add ice, which, yup, does chill it, except not without watering down the tea significantly (and no, you can't just "add more tea" as someone suggested because tea needs hot to boiling water to brew properly.) Look, if you like watered down tea then that's your business but I have tell you that your tea standards are kinda low. Could I make it stronger to begin with? W Of course, just like I can already do with every other pitcher. And by the way, if I don't want to drink all the tea right now then what, I put the sweaty pitcher of tea and ice cubes into the fridge? Hmm. Yes there's an infuser, I get it. For the vast majority of people using tea bags, do you really need one? Tea bags take up very little space in a pitcher of water as opposed to a big infuser. And if you use loose tea then you already have an infuser. Oh but this is a really big infuser, you'll say. Well, if you're adding fruit or whatever then yes, maybe this really is the pitcher you're been dreaming of. If you're adding only loose tea then wow, how much tea are you adding to this thing? And for those using this to cold brew tea in the fridge or make sun tea on the counter: you do realize you can brew tea in literally any container, yes? I thought the big selling feature of this pitcher was to make iced tea in a flash, not cold brew overnight in a fridge, but to each his own. I bought this not realizing the middle part was an infuser. I thought it was a solid chamber for ice, which would cool the tea instantly WITHOUT watering it down. I should have paid more attention. My bad. It gets two stars for being a very nice pitcher that fits well in the door of the fridge. It gets minus three stars for passing itself off as a novel way to get instant iced tea. It is a pitcher that mixes hot brewed tea with ice. That's all it does, folks. No miracles to see here.
