Hario “Mizudashi” Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 1000ml, Black

A sweet little pot for cold brewed coffee
I have come to like cold brewed coffee and this is a handy little pot. I tried the Toddy, which worked well for me and made plenty of cold brewed coffee, but it never fit well in my fridge. I tried brewing a pound of coffee all at once in a large storage container designed for bread machine loaves. It made lots of coffee but straining the grounds was a slow messy process. Maybe with practice it would have gotten faster and easier but I found this instead.The filter is well thought out. The fabric is some sort of poly or nylon. At first glance I worried that it was fragile but I cleaned it with a baby bottle brush. It held up just fine and with use (admittedly only one) the coffee “staining” came right out. The bottom of the filter screws on and stays on to brew then easily screws off to empty.The coffee quality was comparable to other methods. I did a first brew of donut shop style coffee for 12 hours with 50 grams of medium grounds and about 650 mL of filtered water. With the filter in the pot, first I poured enough water to just dampen all the grounds and let it rest for about five minutes. (Habit learned from the Toddy. I don’t know if it makes a difference here.) Then I slowly poured the rest of the water over the grounds. (And the slim profile of the pot meant it could steep in the fridge.)That first glass was 2 parts ice, 2 parts coffee, 1 part water and 1 part soy milk. (BTW: Since taking up cold brew I dropped any added sugar.) Maybe the coffee concentrate was not quite as strong as by the other methods, but this was also a new (to me) type and the mildest brew I have ever used. (The directions recommend stirring the grounds in the filter with a chopstick but I became distracted and did not do it. Next time.)I am a double brewer so I decanted all the coffee and added half the water for a 24 hour soak that turned to 48 when I became busy. The water level just covered the grounds but they were all involved in the brew. (And even with two days, I still forgot to stir.)This batch was weaker (as expected). It was possibly the strength of a hot brewed pot but very smooth and still zero bitterness. My usual practice is to combine the two brews in one decanter so there is no need to remember which is the stronger.The directions are all in Japanese and I can’t read them, but it was not a significant problem since I had a pretty good idea of how to cold brew going in. The numbers are numbers and the picture of stirring with the stick seemed pretty clear. So if you want easy cold brew concentrate in smaller (less than 6 cups) amounts at a lower price point, this is perfect.

Works very well, when used correctly.
Works better than my Bodum French Press or the mason jar cold brew method. Less mess, harder to screw up. The directions were in Japanese, but I found English directions on the Hario UK website:“Using the Hario cold brew coffee pot brown is very simple. It also has measurements on the pot so no extra tools are necessary. Add 80g of ground coffee and 1100ml of water to create 1000ml of cold brew concentrate. Leave the grounds steeping for approximately 8 – 12 hours and then combine with water. Pour the cold brew over ice and enjoy with milk or black. The Cold Brew Coffee Pot Brown is perfect for drinking cold coffee and is great summer time treat.”I found that 80g of course ground is about 3/4 of an inch below the top of the white polyester filter material. I slowly pour the water thru the dry coffee to make sure it’s thoroughly wet and the water level is just above where coffee was. Slow down as you get near the top, there a bit of delay as the water passes thru the filter and it’s easy to overfill.The resulting coffee is cold brew goodness. I mix mine with 50% water and heat it up in the mornings. In the afternoon I’ll have some iced. I find I don’t need cream or sugar because the reduced acidity makes it much smoother and better tasting than hot brew IMO. Careful, it does feel like it’s higher in caffeine than I was used to. Or perhaps I simply drink more because I like it better and it’s just easier to pour a cup out of the fridge where it never gets that old coffee taste that hot brew gets after 10 or 15 minutes.Update: I also got an Aeropress. If you need coffee in a hurry the Aeropress is the way to go. My wife likes the cold brew better, so obviously I’m drinking cold brew 🙂

Um produto padrão Hario. A cesta onde é colocado o café tem uma tela em poliéster bem fina. É preciso tomar cuidado ao lavar. E tem uma abertura em baixo para permitir a eliminação do café após a extração.

Her kullandığımda iyi ki almışım dediğim ürünlerden. Cold brew seviyorsanız muhakkak edinin.. Kavanoz ile başka çay süzgeçleri vs kullanmak bunun gibi net sonuç vermiyor maalesef.
