I drink a ton of unsweet tea. I was going by McD’s daily. And getting a couple of them at a time. My wife suggested I buy an actual tea maker. So I found a used restaurant grade one on an auction site for something like $125. It’s the kind you see at a restaurant or gas station. Water line plumbed to it. I buy the tea in bulk and the large bags make 3 gallons at a time and the bags equal out to about $1 per bag. I’ve had the machine now a couple years so I’ve easily paid for the machine and then some. It has a way to do sweet too. I think you buy sugar packs for it or something, not really sure.

Out of curiosity, how hard is it to keep that clean??

Not terrible. I use vinegar to clean out the urn every couple weeks. Which reminds me I did have to buy the urn which was another $70 or so IIRC.

There are a couple other parts I take apart every few weeks and clean with vinegar. I imagine having sugar in it makes it worse though.
