The Starfrit 024015-002-0000 is a fully automatic, 2.5-liter glass iced tea maker that runs at 750 watts and sells for $83.39. It's one of the few iced tea makers in this price range that publishes a clear capacity figure and uses a glass carafe.
Buyers who want to know exactly how much tea they're making, the published 2.5 L capacity is a differentiator here. The glass build and fully automatic operation also suit people who prefer a set-it-and-walk-away workflow.
Skip if
Skip it if easy cleanup is a priority: this unit is not dishwasher safe, so the glass carafe and basket will need hand-washing. Also skip if you're price-sensitive, at $83.39 it costs more than most plastic competitors.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Starfrit 024015-002-0000 stands out in the iced tea maker category for a few concrete reasons: it publishes a 2.5 L (roughly 84 oz) capacity, draws 750 watts, and uses a glass and stainless steel construction rather than all-plastic. At $83.39, it's priced above the budget tier but below commercial machines.
Fully automatic operation means you add tea and water, press a button, and the machine handles the rest. The reusable filter cuts down on consumable costs compared to paper-filter models, and button controls keep the interface simple. The yellow color finish is an unusual choice, it could be a draw for buyers who want something that stands out, or a deal-breaker for those who want neutral kitchen tones.
The main trade-off is cleanup. Starfrit explicitly lists this unit as not dishwasher safe, which is a meaningful daily inconvenience given the glass construction. The review base is also relatively small at 105 ratings, so the 4.2-star average carries some uncertainty compared to units with thousands of reviews.

Published 2.5 L capacity takes the guesswork out of batch planning

Glass and stainless steel build rather than all-plastic
Cons
Not dishwasher safe, glass carafe requires hand-washing

What buyers say
The 4.2-star average across 105 reviews is encouraging but the sample size is small enough that a handful of outlier reviews can skew it. Buyers who do review it tend to care about build quality and capacity, both of which Starfrit addresses directly. The not-dishwasher-safe designation is likely the most common complaint point for this type of glass-construction machine.
