Hario Glass Iced & Cold Brew Tea Pitcher, Gray, 800 ml

Cold brew tea is the easy way to get smooth, naturally sweet iced tea without bitterness: add leaves and cold water, let it steep in the fridge for a few hours, and it's ready to pour. The Hario Glass Iced & Cold Brew Tea Pitcher in pale gray is made for exactly that, and it brews, chills, and serves all in one vessel. At 800 ml (about 27 oz), you'll get two to three glasses per batch.

The tall, slender shape is designed to sit in your refrigerator door instead of eating up a shelf. The body is borosilicate glass, from the same Japanese glassmaker that's been producing heatproof glass since 1921 (they started with lab and medical glass before moving into household goods), so it handles hot water just as easily as an overnight cold steep. The lid has a built-in strainer that holds back the tea leaves, or the fruit and herbs if you're doing infused water, while the spout pours cleanly and the squared handle is rounded right where your hand grips it. The soft, pale gray tone keeps it easy on the eyes whether it lives on your counter or on the table.

Hario means "King of Glass," and the details here back it up. Care is simple too: it's dishwasher safe, though skip abrasive scrubbers, and give it a wash soon after use so strong colors or odors don't linger.
