Mrs. Gooch,

Have you put other types of tea in your Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker?

Have you put green, red, white, herbal?

No, I have not but I don't see why it wouldn't work....

I'm curious if the residue from each would bring down the quality of taste when you switch. I don't want to have it wash it all the time when switching flavors.

I wash mine after each use. Is that poor tea etiquette?

It's just unnecessary. Also, there are a bunch of ridges in the bottom of the basket so it is almost impossible to get really clean.

The one at home I throw in it the dishwasher every 3-4 runs. The one at work I hand wash every 10-15 runs (because we make a lot of tea runs with 3 of us drinking it) and then take it home to the dishwasher every couple months or so.

_fan has to have mistyped about his mother. there's no way.

I know she brews a lot; maybe not a gallon anymore, but I'd say 2 quarts minimum, probably closer to 3. When I was a kid she had a gallon jar she brewed every day.

Most days, yes. She doesn't really drink anything else like coffee or soda. One of the first things she does every morning is make a pitcher of ice tea and drink from a 20 oz cup all day. I'd say she goes through 3-4 per day easily.

Hey WonderLuke, you don't have to worry about me. I only drink 5-6 glasses of iced tea per day - not 9 like that guy.

Being called "WonderLuke" was more hurtful than I thought it would be.

i don't like how the basket thing got stained after the first use

Regular unsweet QT tea can't be beat.

Our office was gifted a liter of Tejava: unsweetened, premium iced tea, 100% handpicked from the island of Java, microbrewed, North American tea champion 2011-2014.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RELFWQ

It is really good. Strong, undiluted flavor.

Would I pay $64 for another liter? I would not.

Sometimes I like an Arnold Palmer. Funny story about an Arnold Palmer. I was at the gas station a few weeks ago and they had a liter bottle that was an Arnold Palmer for 99 cents. I looked at the back and it said 11 grams of sugar. I was like wow that's not much sugar. Then I drank all of it and wow that was really sweet then I looked at the back again and it said 11 grams of sugar per serving and there were 5 servings in a bottle lol. End of story.

That's a lot of sugar

I can sometimes convince people here that I invented it.

Brewed my own kombucha, not awful but I don't think it has the health benefits they say it does plus it tastes awful if you don't drink the whole batch within a month

i started drinking the stuff too! we are like two peas in a pod. or should i say two bacteria in a scoby

yoga-like_abana · « **Reply #99 on:** January 18, 2017, 09:20:00 AM »

nice, I still brew it. You buy it from the store or not? Because if you need a scoby I have one to give you.
