Mainstays 1.8L Cold Brew Concentrate Pitcher, Glass, Mesh Filter, Model: MS8500778514-05

I did NOT get this item as part of a promotion, I bought two of them at my local store. I shopped for a long time online looking for the perfect pitcher for good-brew iced tea. This is it. 1) It has the easiest filter to clean because the bottom unscrews . No need to fiddle with a bottle brush. The infuser has a large capacity, I can fit several tablespoons of tea, grated fresh ginger, and peach slices. Yum! 2) The shape is tall and narrow so I can easily fit several of these in my fridge door compartment. 3) It's thick glass and has measurement markings… I like to experiment with different ingredients and ratios and this makes it simple. 4) The lid is clever. You can twist the clear plastic portion to the side to uncover the spout, so you can pour the tea while the filter is still in place if you wish. I do this to try a sip and determine whether the tea is strong enough. 5) The handle feels sturdy even with a full pitcher. 6) This is half the price of most comparable pitchers I browsed online. One downside: this glass is not meant to quickly go from hot to cold liquids… so if you make hot tea and then add ice to the pitcher, it could potentially crack. But for cold brew iced tea it's a dream!

Extremely well designed and a crazy good bargain for this level of quality and engineering. I appreciate all the details that make this pitcher the best there is for cold brew coffee or for fruit infused water. The fine mesh filter, the bottom of which unscrews to make it easy to clean, that it is dishwasher safe, the lid, the spout, the pouring... I mean everything about this pitcher is just perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better pitcher. This pitcher would still be a great deal at twice the price. I don't know how they're making any money off this. This is such a great pitcher. I bought 3, and I use 1 for lemon water, 1 for berry water, and 1 for cucumber water.
