This iced coffee maker works amazingly, it's super simple you unscrew it you fill it with coffee and then you screw it back on then just shake it two or three times over the next 6 hours or so. It doesn't leak at all so don't worry about that. I would have to say that I put less coffee in there than it actually wants for the recipe because it wants you to use a lot of coffee by default and honestly using less than recommended taste just fine as well. I highly recommend using frozen coffee as your ice cubes because it makes it not have a watered down Taste. Be prepared to have to put triple or quadruple the amount of sugar that you normally use in your coffee if you're planning on using the recipe that comes with it.Also it's fully optional removing the coffee filter after it's done sitting, I generally don't and I have not noticed any difference in taste whether that is because I generally drink the full thing over 2 days so it doesn't sit or not I don't know but it makes it a little easier.Cleaning is super easy as, it's just about the same difficulty as cleaning the tamper on an espresso maker so it may take a few hits to get the coffee grounds to leave the reusable filter and you may need to use water to persuade it but once it's coming out it's real easy and basically a towel clean.Well recommended
After decades of drinking hot brewed coffee my daughter gifted me one of these cold brew pitchers. I had mentioned to her how I could barely finish a cup of coffee anymore due to the acidity and I often would get an upset stomach. I was in shock at how smooth and delicious the cold brew coffee is and I just microwave my cup. Everyone in the house began drinking it and so I had to buy another pitcher! I have two pitchers in the refrigerator at all times so that we don’t run out. We prefer hot coffee so we just pour a cup, microwave it , and then add our sweetener and creamer. No acidity and no stomach upset. I’m truly amazed and have to mention how well designed these pitchers are for making the coffee and for space saving storage in the refrigerator. It’s easy to use and easy to clean. I highly recommend it!
I like the lid solution. It isn't leaking and it's easy to pour a glass of tea.The mesh infuser works well.Everything is easy to clean.
