Takeya Tritan Cold Brew Coffee Maker - Airtight Pitcher with Leak-Free Lid - BPA-Free Cold Brew Maker with Silicone Handle - Dishwasher-Safe Pitcher for Homemade Cold Brew - 1 Quart, White

I've had and used several times a week for 4.5 years. This is just an outstanding little set up. Easy to use and easy to clean (as long as you don't let the coffee grinds dry in the filter). Really durable, great buy that makes excellent could brew.

So I love tea, but I hate being warm. I've had a bunch of loose leaf tea just sitting in my cupboard throughout Summer because I didn't want to drink something warm when it was already too hot in our house. From the first time I used this it immediately became a "why didn't I buy this sooner?" kind of thing. Now I always have tea either steeping or ready to drink. I've used it with both green and black teas, which have both been fantastic. Going to try a herbal chai tea next. The tea tastes perfect, exactly as it does with a perfectly steeped hot tea, but with cold brewing it somehow doesn't get bitter when you leave the tea in too long, it stays perfect, so it's even easier than brewing hot. And I get four large cups out of this, instead of 2 with my kettle. Went with Takeya specifically because I use one of their metal insulated water bottles daily, and love it. Same quality here. I kinda wish it was glass instead of plastic, but at least if I drop this it isn't going to shatter on my feet. Drawbacks? If I'm being hyper-nitpicky, the way that the filter threads into the lid is kinda tricky. I usually have to try two or three times to get the threads lined up right. Can't recommend this enough. One of the best purchases I've made on Amazon in a long time.

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.

My first attempt at making cold brew low acid coffee in the hope that it could help with a long term acid reflux problem. Pleasantly surprised at how easy this coffee maker is to use and clean. I used Bizzy brand dark roast coarse ground coffee and it tastes great and is plenty strong for my tastes. (I prefer a strong dark roast). I’d give it five stars if the beaker was glass instead of plastic.

This is an easy to use and very easy to clean Cold brew container, the filter is very fine and no coffee particles end up in the brew. One thing I would recommend is not to place the coffee grinds into the sieve, but place them inside the jar with out the sieve being used until you want to filter the mix as trying to get the water in contact with the coffee grinds packed in the sieve isn't as easy as it is to just shake the container with the grind lose inside, you get a better end result, If I were you I would try both ways and see which you prefer. They say to do a coarse grind, I haven't found any difference with a coarse or fine grind, flavour seems to be exactly the same, I find time makes the biggest difference as well as temperature. Yes it's a cold brew :) but how cold will tell you how long to keep it in, my fridge is set a little colder than the recommended 4C, this means that things inside the fridge last longer, it also means the Cold brew will brew a little slower. Just remember though that it's a to your taste brew, just make a few different brews trying different grinds as well as time in the fridge, I have it to the point where I like the end result and only need one third of a cup of brew to make a very nice Iced Coffee or I add the milk/water to the level of my cup and pour the mix into my little saucepan and heat it up to have a hot coffee, I am not a fan of Microwaves for drinks, each to their own :) Lastly, the beans also will make a difference, this means a different brand of Beans will give a different result, I use two brands of Beans and mix them, this way I get the flavour I really enjoy.

Trés bien penser, extrément simple d'utilisation et trés bien fabriquer, se refermer parfaitement. Rien de tel que du café infusé a froid avec des glaçons par ces temps ci de chaleur

This is my second purchase of a cold brew coffee maker. But not the same as my previous one. The old one I had was made out of glass and unfortunately, it was pretty thin and lasted for a year and a half. It developed a crack near the lid on top. So I decided to get a new one before the crack propagates to the bottom of the glass jug. This was an item with a decent amount of reviews and was ranking 4.5 stars. This item exceeds the previous cold brew maker in terms of rating by the number of reviews and roughly the same ranking. What do I like? It is made out of plastic, but of high quality and should last longer The lid completely closes the container so there is no chance of spilling. Much quicker to completely soak the coffee grounds all that is needed is to give it a good shake. Most items in this category usually need stirring. Everything just screws on. What I dislike The instructions mention if you want to make it more concentrated it is recommended to pull the filter out and drain the remaining liquid into the rest of the concentrate for 45mins. But there is no easy way to do that unless you have a separate container where you can pour the concentrate and for the filter to rest above it. Because this a close and shake cold brew maker would imagine the rubber seal will be the first thing to go. But im sure that can be easily replaced. I have not given a flavour rating as I think it is irrelevant to this item because you're never going to get apple to apple comparison between other individuals who have written a review. But what I will say in comparison to my old one, the ratio between coffee and water seems higher than my previous one which required 1.1L to 80g of coffee. The instructions for this item require around 950ML to 108g of Coffee so it is more concentrated.

This product is a good summer time must in my home since we drink lots of cold brew. It’s good quality and makes good coffee! Easy to clean and use. I use these Folgers and it makes decent cold coffee!

its very great product
