Customer Reviews

no more bitter coffee
This simple device works like a charm. There's a felt pad for a filter in the bottom. Dump a pound of ground coffee in and top it off with water(I use spring water).Wait 24 hours and pull the plug, draining the concentrate into the decanter. Mix with hot water to taste(1:2 or 1:3)and you have the sweetest coffee you've ever had (without sugar).It seems the hot brewing puts bitter compounds in the coffee. Keep the concentrate in the fridge. Love it.

Excellent coffee
First, let me say that this product makes excellent coffee. I usually regret drinking regularly-brewed coffee because of the acid, but I've been drinking this cold-brewed coffee for two weeks now and have had NO ill after effects.

The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it's basically just a couple of pieces of plastic, and so I'd consider it fairly overpriced for what you get.

What you get is: a plastic carafe with snap-on lid, a container to put ground coffee in, a filter pad, and another container to put water in. Water empties through a small hole into the container with the ground coffee in it, and you let it sit over night. In the mornning, pop the cork out of the coffee container (on the bottom), and let the syrup drain into the carafe (through an included filter pad). That's it. You could, if you were motivated enough, make one of these out of those x-large soda cups from 7-11.

But, the coffee is excellent. I've been using it to make iced coffee, and it's wonderful. One part syrup, 2-3 parts milk, a shot of chocolate syrup - and you've just saved yourself $5 from Starbucks. It's that good.

It's easy to use, easy to clean, you only have to use it once every week or so (depending on how much coffee you drink), and the coffee is excellent. And it has low acid, to boot.

(Disclaimer: I like mellower roasts of coffee. I've never been a fan of very strong, dark roasts - and that may factor into my appreciation of cold-brewed coffee. Smooth is how I'd describe it.)

Great Cold Press Maker!
I was very satisfied with this product. I was a barista for three years and we used this same brand of brewer for our cold press. It's easy to use and clean. It makes great iced and frozen lattes. The directions that come with the product are very easy to understand. I purchased this for my boyfriend and he loves it.
