Takeya Patented Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker with Airtight Lid & Silicone Handle, 1 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

I almost purchased a more expensive cold brew system but purchased this instead. It's fantastic! It's easy to use and takes up minimal space, and makes delicious cold brew. No more spending money at trendy coffee shops when I have this!

THIS WOULD BE A TEN STAR REVIEW if it were possible! ! ! Recently my 10 year old coffee maker went out on me and I had to opt for St**b***'s $5.00 cup of diluted mud while I tried to make up my mind on what type of coffee maker to get. UGGGHHHHH - ABSOLUTELY NO COMPARISON! Iced coffee & cold brew ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT if done right. Instead of replacing my electric coffee maker, I decided to get myself a Takeya Cold Brewer because I enjoy Cold Brewed Coffee (CBC) a lot more and no matter what you get, Home Brewed is absolutely the two hands down WINNER in comparison to SB. I happened to be in a 'goodwill-like' store a week ago and found a NEW One Quart Takeya for just $5. I brought it home, washed it and immediately put it to use. I had my first mind blowing cup the following morning. Now I'm anxiously anticipating receiving the 2 Quart Takeya in a few days and really look forward to being able to brew enough to last up to a couple of weeks from it - more like a week's amount of coffee. My choice of coffee is dark roasted, full flavored TopShelf Lion's Maine Mushroom Coffee. The Lion's Maine Nootropic in this coffee is a very welcome ingredient that's highly effective. UPDATE: The Pairing of the Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker and my coffee of choice is producing the best coffee I have ever had and it's beyond easy to brew a batch with substance (not diluted) that lasts more than a week unrefrigerated - nearly syrupy. I fill a 20 oz. BPA-free bottle 1/3 full with the CBC and put it in my freezer and once it's frozen, I add my unchilled CBC to the bottle and Im good for the day. The flavor from this method is excellent, but more water can be added if you just want more brew to drink. Diluted, this brew still retains full flavor. Tons of caffeine to shift your morning into HIGH GEAR W/ CLARITY OF MIND, BUT WITHOUT ANY CRASH OR JITTERS. I guarantee that one sip will have you hooked for life - it really is this great! NOTE: I know everyone has their own personal favorite, but I've been hooked on the typically electric coffee maker brew of TopShelf Lion's Maine Mushroom Coffee for about a year now and gone through more than 20 bags of this EXCELLENT coffee (since October 1, 2021) and look forward to many more. I've given a few away as gifts and all recipients have loved it. It is everything the seller says it is and it's flavor is definitively Top Shelf, if you use the right amount of grinds with an electric coffee maker. If it's bitter, you're using too much grinds. I use a very little amount of Stevia and it's perfect. IMO, this coffee IS SOOO SMOOTH that there is no need for any type of creamer. The Takeya really does make a great coffee greater! I'm from Hawai'i and have had the finest Kona Coffees available. When I'm in the mood, I create my own blend of Top Shelf & Kona coffee for extra special occasions. NOTE: if your current choice of coffee grinds are fine and you notice sendiment at the bottom of the Takeya Brewer just remember the expensive delicious chocolate covered coffee beans we coffee snobs enjoy - LOL. If the grinds are small enough to get through the fine mesh, stir or shake your drink up and it'll go down without much noticing and if you don't like that toss / waste your current stash and get yourself a bag of coarsly ground beans or just stick with your overpriced diluted beverage from SB's. To each their own.

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.
