Finally, a device that makes great cold brew
I’m a cold brew aficionado. I have tried several products to make my own cold brew rather than getting store-bought cold brew and they have all failed and have been returned. Until now. I have had the large Takeya cold brew maker for less than two weeks, but I can tell you, this one is a keeper. I have already made about 10 batches and I’m now having fun trying different coffees. Right now, I am trying 2 blends and comparing.My process is simple, I fill up the pot with filtered water to about an inch from the bottom of the white rim. I load up the filter with coffee ground coarse to the top of the filter. I attach the extension and then the lid, and slowly dunk the filter in the water. I tighten everything and swirl the water around for a minute or two to wet the coffee. Don’t shake too hard or tip it around, well, unless you like grounds in your coffee.I leave the Takeya on the counter for the day, swirling it one in a while. At night, I place it in the refrigerator and the next morning I transfer to cold brew to another jar, clean up the Takeya and either make another batch right away or just put it away until the next time. Usually, I start another batch because it doesn’t last long.The clean up is pretty quick. I dump most of the grounds directly in the garbage. I know some people use the grounds for other purposes, I don’t, but I also don’t put them in the garbage disposal. I then clean and dry all the parts with soap and water, rinse, dry and assemble.My observations:1- The extension is sometimes finicky to connect to the filter.2- I’m not sure how sturdy the actual filter fabric is and I treat it very cautiously. Thankfully, it’s not an expensive unit and it’s made of plastic so it shouldn’t shatter.3- Sometimes find a small amount of residue at the bottom, but since I’ve only been swirling and not shaking, that seems to have mostly gone away. I have had batches with no residue whatsoever. Just gotta be diligent.4- It’s actually pretty neat to see the coffee permeate the water over a few hours. I go for about 22-24 hours because I really like my coffee.Highly recommended. Make sure you start with good water and coarse coffee.Update June 2022. I have been using the device every day since I bought it. It’s solid and has stood up well. I now brew the coffee for 48 hours. The first 24 hr sees the coffee maker sitting on the counter. It then goes in the fridge for the next 24 hrs. I use very coarse ground coffee from the supermarket. I’ve tried different roasts and types and I have settled on dark French roast. I fill the maker up to about an inch from the top, put in coffee to fill the basket up to the start of the extension. This works well for me.

When you just want to make some cold brew
I don’t know how good is a good outcome when it comes to brewing cold brew. All I know is that this brewing pitcher is an easy buy when making a cold brew. I had to research of course, and I ended up with this because of the simplicity and the cost to buy. I have yet to still find a very good brewing time for my coffee and different coffees have different characteristics and reaction to brewing management. Like with aeropress, I am still experimenting, though I have quit that method for quite a while now. I would like to get back with the aeropress some of these days. You can view cold brew as a sort of meal prep; you’ll have coffee for days before brewing another one, unless you’re in love, or need a lot of coffee. Whereas the aeropress, even though it’s quick, it still can be served in a relaxing manner if that is your sort of thing, I’m for sure not like that every day as some days you want to rush the start of the day like there’s no tomorrow lol.Now with my cold brew, a day and a half gives me a good brew, usually, with the coffee container almost full and the water about an inch to the brim(the visible, not the threaded area). I like it when I store it at room temperature as it gives me the general cold brew taste. I can’t remember trying it in the fridge, but I heard you just have to give an extra day or hours. And I’ve mentioned, you can have mugs of the brew for days and I am not joking, this thing does store a good amount, granted, you do dilute the concentrate with water. For that, I commend this item for its effectiveness. There might be better products out there, but I am happy with this brewing pitcher.

A dupe for KitchenAid Cold Brew Maker
I was scrolling for a great cold brew maker that wasnât too pricey and stumbled upon this. I originally wanted the KitchenAid Cold Brew Maker but wasnât totally convinced with the $90 price. This cold brew maker was definitely cheaper and got the job done. Itâs an easy prep and you have cold brew in 24 hours. I usually prep it for the week and pour it into another bottle but you can use this bottle to hold your cold brew as well. Definitely worth it for cost and convenience. Youâre saving money on the product itself and spending money on cold brew because now you can have it in the comfort of your home.
