So far, so good!
pros: easy to use, easy to clean (for small hands), great flavorcons: grounds get through filter, delicate glass, potentially difficult to clean for larger hands.I purchased this in early Nov. 2019, so I’ve had it about 3 months now. I don’t have very many complaints – it gets the job done and is saving me money on coffee!Usability:This is a super easy to use cold brew maker! I love how it seals and how simple it is to use. A potential issue is how thin the glass is. I read a lot of reviews saying it breaks super easy, and I can see how it might. I’m super clumsy, but I haven’t broken it yet! So I just advise you to treat it delicately.Lastly, if you don’t have some kind of bottle brush, it may be difficult to clean. It’s a breeze for me because I have small hands that slide right in, but those with larger hands will need a tool.Flavor/ end product:So far the only thing I’m unhappy with is that no matter what I do, it seems like some thin grounds ALWAYS get through the filter. I even tried grinding my own whole beans and they still get through a little bit. But I’ve gotten used to that now. I brew mine for longer than it recommends (I’ve been experimenting with amount of coffee, types of coffee, amounts of water, and brew time) so usually at LEAST 24 hours, but usually closer to 30 or more. The flavor is amazing when brewed that long. When brewed for 18-24 hours, it’s still pretty good but not as bold. Either way, it’s always smooth and very easy to drink!

Excellent and great quality!
Things Iâve learned using this very nice maker:Making a new batch:You really donât want finely ground coffee grounds. I made that mistake the first time, just using what I had for hot coffee. I highly recommend measuring out your grounds to the recommended amount and use a measuring cup each time to add them. Eyeballing 5/6th full is proving very inconsistent ð¤£.I have used room temp water and Iâve used cold water straight from the fridge because of laziness, I donât notice a difference. I am really only drinking coffee out of necessity though, not to enjoy the taste so there might be others with a more sophisticated palate that feel differently.I use 4+ cups of water and and use a large measuring cup to pour it In. I go over the max line slightly after getting all of the water in and settled (basically as high as I can fill it to still be able to shut the lid without overflowing) and I pour about a cup in, stir with handle of tiny spoon, mash down with spoon part of the spoon (is there a name for that?), pour in another cup and repeat. It can take a couple of minutes to do as the water settles and you push the grounds back in. I go above the max line because even after doing all of this, there were batches that the water was below the max line because things have settled. I need as much coffee as I can get so this is works well. When I do this, I get 4 cups of cold brew, which is three days worth for me.I have let it brew for 12 hours, 18 hours, and 22 hours and like 22 the best. So when Iâve had my second (of 3) dayâs cold brew I make a new batch to have ready for day 3 just to be safe. You never know when the kids or your anxiety will keep you up all night and youâll need a little extra.One thing that will help to have: a tiny metal spoon. I use it to stir (with the handle) and then mash down the grounds after the water has been poured in. I have tried a plastic chop stick and it didnât work well, I have also tried a butter knife and that was terrible. The tiny spoon works great!.Pouring for consumption:I use a reusable coffee filter to strain the brew out of this container because no matter how big your grounds are, there is a gunk that forms at the bottom that I donât want to drink. So after itâs done brewing, I pour the entire container into a large measuring cup (the same one I use for the water) THROUGH the strainer, then pour 1 1/4 ish cups into three mason jars. Seal them up and put them in the fridge. You can adjust your portions however youâd like, I just found that 1 cup of cold brew wasnât quiet enough.Mason jars are your best friend. You can pour your desired amount of cold brew per day directly in to them and refrigerate until youâre ready to drink. Add your water (I didnât realize you had to do this before making my first batch, but Iâve learned I donât like the 1:1 ratio as much, so I use 1 1/4 cup cold brew pre-measured in the jar and add 1/2 cup of water) directly into the mason jar and add milk/creamer (you donât NEEED anything, I like 3 tbsp of creamer though because I donât love coffee and I also donât do milk/sugar, itâs not enough sugar for me ð¤£), add an ice cube or two, and drink with a reusable straw from the mason jar.. The plastic tumblers are also a good option but I donât like refrigerating them as much because the seal isnât completely tight. I also prefer drinking out of glass. Now you could pour directly from the cold brew maker, but I want to filter mine and I canât make a new batch if Iâm storing the cold brew in there… so the timing didnât work out the first couple of batches doing that.The only downside, I do wish it wasnât glass. The amount of moving this thing that is required while making a new batch always makes me nervous. Especially when I have to sit it on the sink to pour out the grounds (although I am going to look for other uses of the grounds in my yard or something). It does have a rubber bottom grip that is removable but Iâm clumsy and am just one bad nightâs of sleep from knocking it over and it breaking. But it is very nice it is glass and dishwasher safe and very easy to clean by hand in a pinch. Overall I would highly recommend.This is a great cold brew maker. I do wish I had gotten a larger size one because it takes a lot of grounds and I only get 3 days worth of coffee. I think a larger size would only use marginally more grounds and would get 4-5 days worth but I canât confirm.Happy brewing!

Love it!
This is a well designed, well made coffee maker. It also works well for other infusions. For my first go at cold brew coffee, I followed the directions that came with it using our regular drip coffee. The results were underwhelming. I believe the grind was too fine. For my second go, I ordered a bag of Bizzy Organic Cold Brew Coffee, filled the filter with grounds up to about an inch short of the top, added filtered water up to the 4 cup mark, and let it sit on the kitchen counter for 20 hours. During the process, I picked it up and swirled it a few times. The end product was outstanding. Very smooth and flavorful without being bitter. The strength is perfect to mix half and half with milk, which is how I like it.

Pros: Si utilizas un molido medio, el café queda espectacular. No es necesario llenar el filtro, sólo hasta la mitad y dejar que durante la noche haga su magia. El proceso efectivamente elimina la acidez y amargura natural de café, y resulta en una bebida super refrescante y suave sin sacrificar el sabor base. El filtro funciona perfecto, repito, con un molido medio.Contras: Si siento que el vidrio de la jarra es delgado, y cualquier descuido al lavarla va a terminar en tragedia. Pero el peor contra que le veo es que, cuando retiras el filtro (ya para guardar la bebida preparada), la tapa no cierra bien con la jarra, sólo cierra bien cuando tiene también el filtro puesto.En conclusión, buena relación costo-calidad, sà la recomiendo.

As a specialty coffee enthusiast I was always interested in getting my own cold brewer for my home barista game. I read some reviews but ultimately decided on this after watching a coffee influencer on social media.I have made one cold brew so far and so far happy on the quality of the product and is a fair price point. The recommended recipes are helpful as well but the device is pretty easy to use. Very easy to clean, the product seals well in the fridge with freshness over several days. It states it is good up to 2 weeks in the fridge but I doubt you won’t finish it before that.Great job Ovalware!

I really enjoy cold brew coffee using this product (until I’ve use my time making a short video for my instagram story about it). It is perfect for summer! After 1 years of using, I’ve nothing to complain. The product for me has an excellent quality. The brew glass is very easy to wash (I wash with hand, never wash with machine). To brew the coffee is also easy and fast. For the taste, it really depend on how long brewing coffee, what type of coffee to use and the quality of water for brewing.

We brew our cold brew in this and it’s amazing. Gets us through the week. I love the design too, it might feel a little fragile on the handle but we’ve been dealing it with care and had no problems. Worth it.

Bought this as it appeared to be well priced & easy to use. Turns out it was actually both. Only downside is that store-bought pre-ground coffee beans is normally ground too fine for s cold brew filter, which allows some of the finer coffee particles to leech into the cold brew extracted liquid, leaving a layer of coffee ‘soot’ in the bottom of your cup. The easiest way around this is to buy your own coffee grinder & only do a medium grind on your beans.
