Takeya Patented Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker with Airtight Seal & Silicone Handle, 2 Quart

Quality product, very happy with the purchase

This is an easy to use and very easy to clean Cold brew container, the filter is very fine and no coffee particles end up in the brew. One thing I would recommend is not to place the coffee grinds into the sieve, but place them inside the jar with out the sieve being used until you want to filter the mix as trying to get the water in contact with the coffee grinds packed in the sieve isn't as easy as it is to just shake the container with the grind lose inside, you get a better end result, If I were you I would try both ways and see which you prefer. They say to do a coarse grind, I haven't found any difference with a coarse or fine grind, flavour seems to be exactly the same, I find time makes the biggest difference as well as temperature. Yes it's a cold brew :) but how cold will tell you how long to keep it in, my fridge is set a little colder than the recommended 4C, this means that things inside the fridge last longer, it also means the Cold brew will brew a little slower. Just remember though that it's a to your taste brew, just make a few different brews trying different grinds as well as time in the fridge, I have it to the point where I like the end result and only need one third of a cup of brew to make a very nice Iced Coffee or I add the milk/water to the level of my cup and pour the mix into my little saucepan and heat it up to have a hot coffee, I am not a fan of Microwaves for drinks, each to their own :) Lastly, the beans also will make a difference, this means a different brand of Beans will give a different result, I use two brands of Beans and mix them, this way I get the flavour I really enjoy.

Trés bien penser, extrément simple d'utilisation et trés bien fabriquer, se refermer parfaitement. Rien de tel que du café infusé a froid avec des glaçons par ces temps ci de chaleur

Easy to use, does exactly what you need. 7 cups of water to 1.75 cups of coarse ground beans. The plastic filter works extremely well, and doesn't let grounds through. Easy to hand clean. No complaints

I've always preferred cold drinks to hot ones so imagine my joy when companies started selling pre-made cold-brew coffee in the grocery store. At about $7 per bottle though, it was costing me more to buy it that way rather than brewing my own hot coffee and adding ice. It wasn't until I was perusing YouTube and saw one of my favorite YT'ers pouring her own cold-brew out of a refrigerated container. I immediately toggled to Amazon in a search for one similar and I found this product. After comparing prices and reviews, I decided to give this one a try. 3 weeks and several brews later here are my takeaways: Pros: Easy to clean and use, coffee tastes great, not going back to buying pre-made! Cons: Durability seems fragile as the soft foamy plastic on the handle is coming up already, it will leak if you don't screw the lid on tight so beware, since it has to brew laying down it takes up more space in my small fridge than I'd like Overall though, it's a much cheaper alternative to pre made cold brews and you can control the strength and taste of your coffee by selecting the brand/grounds/roast you want and by adding more or less ground to the filter. Special Note: I read through a lot of reviews and it seems the main issue most people had was the coffee grounds seeping into the liquid. It appears from reading the replies from the manufacturer and by my own experience with this, that they have created a smaller mesh filter and have stopped shipping the product with the old style. The new style is so good that I'm using fine ground coffee and have had NO grounds in my end product. So please disregard older comments about this issue if you're ordering this for the first time. Another main issue is about the leaking but if you screw the top on securely and shake any excess out into a sink before placing it back into the fridge that will prevent leakage. For just in case, it's good to have a paper towel under your brewer when placed on its side.

This is my second purchase of a cold brew coffee maker. But not the same as my previous one. The old one I had was made out of glass and unfortunately, it was pretty thin and lasted for a year and a half. It developed a crack near the lid on top. So I decided to get a new one before the crack propagates to the bottom of the glass jug. This was an item with a decent amount of reviews and was ranking 4.5 stars. This item exceeds the previous cold brew maker in terms of rating by the number of reviews and roughly the same ranking. What do I like? It is made out of plastic, but of high quality and should last longer The lid completely closes the container so there is no chance of spilling. Much quicker to completely soak the coffee grounds all that is needed is to give it a good shake. Most items in this category usually need stirring. Everything just screws on. What I dislike The instructions mention if you want to make it more concentrated it is recommended to pull the filter out and drain the remaining liquid into the rest of the concentrate for 45mins. But there is no easy way to do that unless you have a separate container where you can pour the concentrate and for the filter to rest above it. Because this a close and shake cold brew maker would imagine the rubber seal will be the first thing to go. But im sure that can be easily replaced. I have not given a flavour rating as I think it is irrelevant to this item because you're never going to get apple to apple comparison between other individuals who have written a review. But what I will say in comparison to my old one, the ratio between coffee and water seems higher than my previous one which required 1.1L to 80g of coffee. The instructions for this item require around 950ML to 108g of Coffee so it is more concentrated.
