(More customer reviews)This cold brew coffee maker is great for the price. Sure, its made of plastic and I'd rather have an all glass maker but for the price I'm happy I bought it. The many benefits of cold brewed coffee: 1) it reduces the acid for those of us who have stomach, acid reflux, pregnant or bladder problems. 2) it nearly eliminates all the bitter taste of coffee. 3) we are all rushed in the mornings and its so fast to make a cup of coffee from the cold brewed concentrate. 4) I haven't been able to drink coffee for several years but now that I have this cold brew maker I can drink several cups a day. 5) it taste delicious!
Tips on use: this coffee maker calls for the old fashioned circular 12 cup coffee filters, you don't have to have them. When using the circular filter, you will find that your water and grinds will over flow the filter. Anyway, you don't need it because it comes with a small felt like filter that sets in the bottom of the maker just like the Toddy Cold Brew System. Use 1/2 lb of "drip grind" or "electric perk grind" coffee (decaf or reg) per 5 - 6 cups of water. Let it sit for 12 - 24 hours then pull the plug/stopper at the bottom of the pot and your concentrate will flow out in about an hour (I allow mine to drip for several hours to get every last bit. Note: most of your coffee comes out in the first hour; I then cold brew the used grinds a second time. The second brewing with the used grinds gives me almost the same amount of concentrate as the first brew). Place your finished cold brew concentrate in the fridge for up to 14 days. I do not use the plastic storage container that comes with the coffee maker; instead, I use a tall wide mouth mason jar or my sun tea jar because I am trying to lessen the BPA's in my food. It would be nice if the coffee maker itself was glass or a BPA-free plastic but then it wouldn't be this cheap. Try it!
