I love coffee – not so much the taste so I’m a coffee with your cream kind of person. I generally would make a pot of hot coffee – throw it in a pitcher in the fridge and be set for a few days. I have heard that doing this creates the bitter taste that I am oh-so familair with. So I was looking for a good cold brew contraption for a while. I have to say that COLD BREW is the TICKET – it’s a nice flavor with very little bitterness so I was immediately enamored! This is about a quart and a half, so it’s still a good 3-4 days of coffee and I appreciate that the top is nicely fitted to allow pouring without risk of the top flying off. I’d definitely recommend this for all the amateur cold brewers out there 🙂 I even bought a couple for gifts because i liked it so much. I think I initially FAILED to realize that it’s concentrated, so I just put in some almond milk and a splash of cream and I’m all set!

Why are you reading this? You know you already want it. It’s cute, budget friendly, sustainable, and think of all the money you’re going to save by not going to Starbucks. We use it daily, and it has been a huge hit!

I ordered this cold brewer with the specific purpose of cold brewing loose leaf tea. It does the job very well, and makes enough for a several cups. The design is well thought out in terms of size, and the handle doesn’t feel like it’s going to break off in my hand (which I’ve had happen before with other brewers).
My only small gripe is the way the filter and lid sit on and in the device. The filter requires you to pinch the sides in order to pull it out, a turn lock or clip method would’ve been a better choice. Also the lid has a pouring side, but to turn the lid you also have to turn the filter too, which can undo the lid.
I have not had any accidents with the filter falling out while dispensing after a few weeks now, as such I’ll leave this at a 5 star since this may be more of a personal gripe than problem with the item.
It does make one solid cup of cold brew oolong tea. Which is what I wanted it to do.

I love cold brewed coffee. I used to biy it already made but that got quite costly. I then started researching how to make my own at home. I was using a large mason jar and straining the coffee through cheesecloth, which was a pain and always messy to clean up after. A lot if the other cold brew systems are expensive and designed so they allow the grounds to float into the brewed coffee. That would require straining the coffee before drinking it. This pot is the answer! Both the top and bottom of filter come off. The coffee stays in the filter, but both ends come off so you can easily clean it. It makes about 20 ounces of cold brew. I prefer a stronger brew, sp 36 hours is the ideal brew time for me.

I have used it a couple of times and it works pretty well. I was wary of getting this product becuase I have seen broken ones in reviews before. But I found it quite sturdy so far. However, in terms of flavor extraction, I am not sure if it is because of the grind of beans I am using, but I don’t think the flavor is strong. It might be a design issue, I usually let it sit for at least 24 hours and I don’t think it is as strong as cold brew should be. Also, it uses a lot of beans which is a con if the flavor isn’t as strong.

I purchased this when I started working a hybrid schedule. I can prepare it the day before and use it the next day. I get 2 full venti sized coffees and maybe 1 grand per week. Highly recommend for those who like cold brew and are also on a schedule…saves so much time in the morning if you’re not into k cups.

I tried this after using a bodum French press for cold brew for many years. In the bodum, the course grinds are free to float through the water and that seems to enable way more transfer of flavor for a much richer, concentrated coffee (not to mention utilizing the beans more effectively). The con of this method is that you get a little bit of the fine grounds that go through the bodum filter (so I usually filter a second time = mess and time).
This on the other hand, compresses the grinds and hardly allows for any water surface area to collide with the beans. I did a full carafe with just under a cup of grinds and the coffee came out so so diluted, almost undrinkable. Another issue is that it took about 30 minutes of adding a little bit of water at a time to fill this up (adding water through the grind holder).
The pro is that clean up is easy… But I think you only get about half of the extraction from the beans – huge waste.

The filter is too small and only holds up to ~150g of coarse grind beans. It also sits too high so you have to have too much water in the jug for it to be able to soak, and the mesh seems too fine to allow a proper soak – you just end up with a solid core of damp grinds and lightly infused water.
This product seems a lot more like a loose tea infusion jug than a cold brew jug.
The best results I can get are when I use a completely different jug to mix grinds + water, then once the soak is done I pour it through this filter. So basically it works best if I don’t use it for its advertised purpose.
Additionally it is described as being designed specifically to be this size so it fits in a fridge door – it does not fit in my fridge door.
A.S. –
The mesh basket inside is great for brewing a large amount of loose-leaf tea. Pouring is clean and easy. Carafe is durable. Old one broke only when smashed against a hard corner by accident; immediately ordered a new one because it’s the best teapot out there.

Perfect little pitcher! Fits right inside my fridge door, no coffee grounds in my coffee- you need to make sure you use coarse ground coffee. I grind my own beans, fill the filter 2/3 of the way and then pour the water right through the center of the coffee grinds – next day I have great tasting Cold brewed coffee! I love that it’s a glass pitcher! I think most people that say it exploded may have put hot water in it and then put it in the fridge- you can’t do that with some glass- it will crack instantly due to the rapid temp change! I had no issues with mine at all. Super easy to clean, as well.
