Vinci Express Cold Brew Electric Coffee Maker Cold Brew in 5 Minutes, 4 Brew Strength Settings & Cleaning Cycle, Easy to Use & Clean, Glass Carafe,…

The flavor of the coffee was good. Once done, there were too many pieces to clean and manage. Also the gasket was hard to work with-

I put a 4 for flavor because I haven’t tried it yet but it SMELLS GOOOOD! It was super easy to use and after cleaning it three times there was still a few tiny pieces of ground coffee. But not bad. Could just be the OCD part of me but I really like it.

I thought the brew time would be hours, didn’t realize it speeds up that process so even better!

Definitely like how sturdy it is and how well the instructions are. I’m very much a visual learner.

Got this to save money from Starbucks 😭😂

Update…
The motor finally broke. I could hear it and I did try to clean out everything to allow flow. Nope, it is broken. I cannot say I used it alot. In fact I only used it three or four times a month. I definitely followed directions. So I did have a professional electrician look and test. I watched him take it apart easily. Very sad. I though it was tiny grains getting stuck. The motor itself could not pump. what I heard was the motor. It just did not move. It made hum only. It tried to work. It just wasn’t pumping like how it should have.

When I first purchased…
When I first viewed this cold brew pot, the thing that attracted me is the easy of use in making cold brew rather than doing the refrigerator thing. I use to put coffee grounds in a container with filtered water and close it up, shake it, then put it in the fridge. After 24 hours you get a cold brew. I would then strain it into another container where I could keep in the fridge for me to drink over a period of time. The one thing I hated was waiting. This little machine does the trick, until you place tiny grinds inside, which it tells you to avoid doing in the manual. If you grind your own beans and then start spooning in the grinds, you may get small particles that get stuck in the filter (blocks your filter screen). Whether I use grounds or make my own, I have to strain it to get small particles out so I can put into the filter. This allows for good water flow. So I make an extra bold brew with just tap water, as instructions say to do. It really does taste like what would take 24 hrs. I don’t like make it sit like my friends do as it does not make the taste any better. So, you get a lot of the bitterness from the roast, so be careful in choosing your roast level, and the richness of the coffee bean flavor. It is not give the bite of an acidic coffee, which is the purpose of cold brew. This is not like what you get from other smooth coffees I’ve tried in the past, rather, it is much more shocking in flavor than the smoother ones. I suppose you’d have to get the same bean and roast as what you want to compare it to. Overall, this is still smoother than a regular cup of ground coffee. The balance of cream and sugar is arguable, but for the sake of mentioning it here, I would say the cream and sugar makes the flavor stand out in richness, like a milk chocolate candy. If you drink it black, it is dark chocolate like with the right roast. Choose a flavor of roast you like and compare with a regular cup of that same roast. I did so with Yuban and a strong decaf. Both had mixed results but I have to admit that the consistency is/was the richness of the roast I chose. The acid levels/smoothness/mix with cream/mix with sugar/mix with sugar and cream, the only thing that spoke out to me is that richness. If you do a light brew, you may as well drink black tea. Also, as a big warning, use the freshest roast you can and grind it only before you brew. Keep your beans air tight and in a dark bag. Do not freeze. Your coffee will come out more consistent in flavor every time. The older your beans, talking about 1 to 2 weeks old, you will start noticing a flavor difference and the smell won’t be as strong. In fact if kept wrong, you will get more of a mushroom smell meaning the fungus is settling in on the beans.

Hello,
I went to make some cold brew last week and as I have done every time, I put everything together, hit the start button and a few minutes later come back to realize that the water level hasn’t gone anywhere and that the water isn’t getting any darker and realize that the machine is not working properly. I do not even hear the machine humming. The suction lines are clean because you can hear and feel when you blow air through them. The dial spins for the different settings. I feel like the motor is broken.
