I was impressed by how sturdy and well-made this brewer is, and how tightly-fitted all the pieces were, which helped prevent any leaks. Quick, clean and easy: with the included dosing spoon, you can prepare your cold brew precisely, without losing half of it. In them, I've tested more than half a dozen cold-brew-friendly coffee blends to try to find a combination I could recommend.

The only downside is that the Cafe Du Chateau only makes 34 ounces of cold brew, which might not be enough for serious caffeine fiends. Coffee came out smooth and flavorful without too much bitterness, and the filter is fine enough that there was less sediment than many immersion brewers. Although slightly smaller, the Coffee Bear Cold Brew Coffee Maker is remarkably similar to the Coffee Gator. To my dismay, I haven’t yet been able to get any French press to produce cold-brewed coffee with flavor that’s as smooth or rich as with other methods. The temperature, the acidity balance, the preparation, the coarse grind and the magic of those 8+ hrs in a cold and dark fridge without “my assistance” .Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy and Cookie Statement and Your California Privacy Rights. The brew quality of the Coffee Gator was fairly average and much in line with other immersion brewers with a similar ratio. The Toddy requires 12 ounces of coffee for brewing a full batch, which is a lot (at maximum, it handles seven cups of concentrate). That’s why an electric cold brewer can whip up good cold brew in just a few minutes, whereas a manual brewer requires that you steep for at least 8 hours. The Hario Cold Brew Coffee Filter in Bottle is a great product for coffee enthusiasts who prefer a simple and easy-to-use cold brew maker.

This cold brew maker’s jug is made from extra thick borosilicate glass and has been designed so it’ll fit in most refrigerator doors. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. The glass is a little thin and the silicone lid doesn't form a perfect seal, so be careful not to knock it over while it's brewing. There’s a leak proof lid which means your coffee will stay fresh for weeks, although cold brew never lasts that long in my kitchen.This awesome glass and wood slow dripper comes with a stainless steel filter screen and features an adjustable valve for controlling drip speed. With Toddy cold brew coffee makers, brewing takes place in a large plastic container, where ground coffee and water are allowed to mingle freely.

I paid close attention to nuances in the design that would lead to any inconsistencies in brewing or possible spills or accidents.We found that the two automatic brewers we tested had less flavorful results, and we tasted slightly more grit in makers with metal filters. I sampled a bit of the coffee after the recommended eight hours and found it to be weak and similar to tea. The process of eliminating heat and adding time to your brew gets rid of all the acidity that is contained in the beans.
