Bernard in their five-star Amazon product review.
Ovalware Airtight Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker (& Iced Tea Maker) with Spout $35.99

Oh, and it can also brew hot for those times you need a traditional cuppa.

"I’ve had my tea maker for at least 5 years and never have I had a problem. When you spend a lot of money on loose tea you want it to seep for the right length of time. My tea always tastes perfect! If you drink tea on a regular basis you need to spend the money on this tea maker!" says tblonde in their five-star review.
