What I am trying to figure out is: if this replacement pitcher has a solid lid, how does the tea drain into the pitcher from the brewer ?

This came with 2 lids one with the opening on top to let water flow onto the tea bag then into the picture, the other for storage. this lid you can turn to open side to pour or close to store. It works well with the mr. coffee electric tea pot we have. Hope this answers it for you

You should also have the original steamer and brewing lid. The replacement pitcher is just that.

This is a replacement pitcher for the Mr. Coffee Tea Brewer. It comes with the pitcher, lid and brewer basket. The original water heating reservoir/brewer is necessary for the brewer to function. This pitcher without the brewer is simply a nice pitcher.

None. You heat the water and put the hot water in another vessel and put the tea there.

Yes. I've been making iced tea in mine and pouring boiling water directly into the pitcher. No hint of a problem. As always when putting hot liquids in glass, it's best to pour in a little and swirl it around to heat the glass a bit before pouring in the rest.

you need to refill the reservoir which sits in front of the pitcher. Unlike a coffee maker the water does not get added to the top. This is actually a good thing or else the receiving pitcher would overflow. Has not been a problem for us. We just transfer the water to another empty pitcher for storage and restart the cycle

I discovered the pitcher was not faulty. I filled the pitcher and some water went into the handle. All is well and I love the brita pitcher. Thank you for your follow up.

Yes it does. The fit isn't quite as snug as the original pitcher, but I have not had any leakage while making the tea. Pitcher washes up nicely also. Great replacement pitcher.

Yes, I use mine to brew tea and have added boiling hot water from my kettle. The pitcher has been room temp when I've done this, never cold from the fridge.

Yes; it is an exact replacement. BUT; just like the original, it starts leaking after a few months. We've gone back to a tea kettle and a 2 qt pyrex measuring cup. This was/is a great tea maker, don't know why they can't make a pitcher that doesn't leak.

This requires a special fitting on the end of the faucet to connect to the pitcher. Water has to be under pressure for this system to work. So no unless you change your faucet, or can use another faucet for this.

We use the pitcher too and haven't run the water through it yet. We just tasted it straight out of the faucet. Thank you

I haven't tried to actually make the chai tea in the pot... I prefer to keep it strictly for my milk needs and I make my matcha the traditional way. There aren't any weird parts that would prevent you from making anything in it since the stirring / frothing piece works by external magnet so there aren't any mechanisms in the pitcher itself.

The top of the pitcher is 5" across from side to side. To my knowledge there is NOT a lid to fit it. My brother had one of these and I could not wait to get mine. I just love it. It makes the best tasting tea. The best thing about it is that it comes COMPLETELY apart to be cleaned and no tea sediments can build up in it.

This iced tea brewer is a hot brew machine. You do use ice in the pitcher while brewing so once the tea is brewed, the ice cools it down.

If the water is not flowing down into the pitcher, the filter is clogged. If you mean that the filter is stuck to the top, you must turn the filter to remove it. You cannot pull the filter out. You must twist it out. If it is hard to twist it because it is wet, take a dry cloth and hold onto the blue filter and twist it out.

Not really sure about this. The infusing core screws into the lid. The infusing core however has slits in it. I've filled it the pitcher with water by lifting up the lid and pouring the water directly into the infusing core. The lid itself screws on. To get liqid out, you have to partially unscrew the lid so I would assume that you could shake it.

I have looked and looked for a glass pitcher that will withstand boiling water, but have found very few that do. This particular pitcher is well made, but I've never attempted to put billing water in it. I use it for iced tea. I make the tea in a separate kettle and allow it to cool a bit before I pour it into the pitcher. Also, I put hot water from the tap in the pitcher before I pour the tea into it in order to help warm up the glass. As I understand it, the reason many glass pitchers crack from boiling water is because of the temperature difference between the glass and the water...so, I always warm up the pitcher a bit first.

First of all this is a 2 quart pitcher, not 64 ounces, or 1 gallon. I had a problem with this when I ordered it. I ended up getting two of these because I can put in the door of my refrigerator. A gallon wouldn't have fit anywhere in my frig. It has a mesh insert which screws into the lid, which is where you put the tea. I use the Twinings English Classic cold brew tea bags. You could also use loose leaf tea. it works very well, the only issue I have is cleaning it. You have to take the clear rubber rings(gaskets) out of the lid and the part that screws onto the pitcher itself. They tend to get moldy very easily. I use three bags, cold water, and let it sit for about an hour. It makes really good tea. First of all this is a 2 quart pitcher, not 64 ounces, or 1 gallon.
