Customer Review: “I don’t get the negative reviews – I LOVE this for making cold brew coffee. My tips:1. If it is taking you FOREVER to get the water to initially seep through the coffee into the pot, then you are most likely using coffee grounds that are TOO FINE for cold brew! You want to use a COURSE GROUND coffee! I really like the Bizzy Cold Brew Smooth and Sweet coffee. Don’t be misled by its name – it has NO sweetener added to it – the name just refers to the coffee’s flavor profile…2. Even though this pot says that its parts are dishwasher-safe – HAND WASH everything. All parts wash quickly with warm water and a little dawn dish soap!3. To make the coffee, I put the grounds into the filter area in the pot, add room temperature water, put the lid on and let it sit on the counter for about 5-6 hours. I take a table knife from my silverware drawer and stir the grounds around (within their filter area) a couple times during this initial 5-6 hour soak. Then, put the pot into the frig and let it soak there overnight. After about 8-9 hours in the frig I take it out, stir the grounds around again with the table knife (within the filter area), let it sit for a few minutes and then lift up the filter. Hold the filter over the coffee, tilting it a little to let as much liquid as possible drip out from the filter into the coffee. I think I tilt the filter and balance it against the pot over the coffee to let it drip that way for about 5 minutes…. Then take the filter all the way out. I dump the grounds onto a plastic tray and let them dry out – then give them to a gardener!.4. As soon as you have dumped the grounds out of the filter, unscrew the bottom cap and rinse out the filter! Then rub a couple drops (you don’t need much) of dawn blue dish liquid between your thumb and index finger and then use those fingers to rub the soap all around on the filter – inside and out. This takes only a minute or two and gets it totally clean! Rinse well and let it dry…. It gets totally clean this way with no staining!.5. I immediately transfer the coffee out of this pot into a borosilicate glass pitcher for storing in the frig.Then, HAND WASH this blue pot, with just a couple drops of dawn dish detergent. It only takes another minute to wash, rinse and invert to dry. Easy, totally clean and ready for the next use when the coffee starts to run low.”

Customer Review: “I am beyond impressed with this 64 oz Mason Jar Cold Brew Coffee Maker! From the moment I opened it, I could tell the materials were high quality. The glass feels thick and durable, not flimsy at all, and the components fit together securely without leaking or feeling loose. It has that sturdy, well-made construction that instantly gives you confidence it’s going to last.Making cold brew with it was incredibly easy. Just add your grounds, pour in water (into the filter and over the grounds) let it steep, and you’re done. The filter does a fantastic job, smooth coffee, minimal gritty residue, and a clean, rich flavor every time.Cleaning is just as simple, which is a huge win for me. Everything rinses out easily, and the wide mouth makes it super convenient to wash thoroughly. No awkward scrubbing or trapped grounds. I may have thrown mine in the dishwasher!The 64 oz size is perfect for prepping multiple servings at once, which saves time during busy weeks. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, this is a high-quality, user-friendly cold brew maker that delivers exactly what it promises! Highly recommend! ☕️”

Customer Review: “5/12/25: UPDATE: The pot works fine. One thing drive me to using bad words. I said this before, but it is an irritant. They attached the handle to the lid. Plastic lids are hard enough to use on glass jar. Having a handle in the way so that you have to remove you hand with each turn is frustrating. Fir someone new to what cold coffee brew represents, this is a good starter pot, or I frequently used pot.The instruction page presented a problem. Simple answer: go online and get detailed instructions on just how to make cold coffee. Now, the simple instructions manuel is a fine reminder.Packaging handled the trip thru shipping very well. It is glass. It was double packed.There were many choices of cold brewing containers. Considering the cleaning process I go thru with my automatic tea pot, I opted for simple. Simple is very easy to clean with no over-engineered top to take apart to clean. Small enough for refrigerator or counter.The gaskets didn’t look sturdy to me, but after use and washing, I think they will be just fine. It’s hard for the plastic lid to screw on and off because of the handle, but I succeed. I use a standard tube sponge to clean the filter. Works better.”

Customer Review: “Things I’ve learned using this very nice maker:Making a new batch:You really don’t 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 🤣.I have used room temp water and I’ve used cold water straight from the fridge because of laziness, I don’t 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 I’ve had my second (of 3) day’s 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 you’ll 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 didn’t 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 don’t want to drink. So after it’s 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 you’d like, I just found that 1 cup of cold brew wasn’t 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 you’re ready to drink. Add your water (I didn’t realize you had to do this before making my first batch, but I’ve learned I don’t 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 don’t NEEED anything, I like 3 tbsp of creamer though because I don’t love coffee and I also don’t do milk/sugar, it’s not enough sugar for me 🤣), 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 don’t like refrigerating them as much because the seal isn’t 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 can’t make a new batch if I’m storing the cold brew in there… so the timing didn’t work out the first couple of batches doing that.The only downside, I do wish it wasn’t 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 I’m clumsy and am just one bad night’s 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 can’t confirm.Happy brewing!”

Customer Review: “Love this carafe. Easy to use and maintain. This brewing method makes great coffee when you use fresh coarsely ground coffee beans.”

Customer Review: “I have several OXO products and they are typically well-made, effective at what they are designed to do and very easy to use. Have to admit that at this point, if I need a kitchen gadget, I’ll almost always default to the OXO product, if I have an option.I’ve been making cold brew for a couple of years now, using a 64 ounce mason jar and that method works well, though it has some issues. I’d been eyeing this cold brew coffee maker for a while and when I saw it on sale, I went for it.After only one time using it, I can already say it’s worth the purchase. Very easy to set up and use. Very well-designed, as is typical with OXO products. Very easy to clean, which was always a pain with the mason jar and its relatively narrow mouth. And the coffee tastes great!The best part is eliminating the filtering process that usually took a good 15 minutes or so with my old method. With this maker, I just flip the switch, go away and turn on my computer and in 10 minutes I come back to a carafe full of tasty coffee. No more struggling with the dumping of the liquid through the filter, while trying to avoid splattering huge chunks of wet grounds all over the kitchen counter.I’d noticed that my acid reflux was definitely not as active and pronounced when I drank cold brew coffee rather than hot coffee and I’m pretty much sold on moving forward with cold brew from this point on. Very happy I finally made the purchase and, as noted before, very happy to have stuck with another solid OXO product.”

Customer Review: “Husband loves cold brew and bought this for him as a Christmas present. It’s easy to use and he loves it. I like the pot, reminds me a a chemistry lab beaker. Doesn’t take up too much counter space.”

Customer Review: “This works great for me. I like the idea of the central filter. Not sure that’s necessary but it does work well. Simple and easy to use design.I make decaf concentrate because it’s hard to find ready made. I get a high quality, medium-course ground bean. I found soaking around 20 hours gives me the level of flavor I want and not bitter (though quality of beans makes a difference here). I remove the filter core and leave the concentrate in the pitcher and refrigerate.It is less expensive than buying concentrate or coffee shop drink (if you can even find decaf coldbrew) but I wouldn’t say it’s cheap either. The amount of grounds you have to use is more than typical brewing. The amount of concentrate you use will depend on your preference and type of beverage so determining value or cost effectiveness is subjective.I found that making 1 pitcher a week during the summer was just the right amount to treat myself.The pitcher is not big and yet almost too tall for the bottom shelf and doesn’t fit in the door pockets of my fridge. If it was a little shorter and slightly bigger around would be better. I usually just rinsed everything well between brews.The filter is trickier to clean because of its shape but not terrible. I found that if i knock most of the used grounds out and let the remaining dry out it’s a little easier to manage. The filter hasn’t become clogged so far but vinegar and warm soapy water would probably be sufficient. Time will tell if the plastic parts all hold up. The pitcher is that rigid style with no flexibility so could be prone to cracking.I recommend this if you enjoy coldbrew, don’t want to leave home to get it, and want a simple way to soak the grounds.Cheers!”

Customer Review: “This cold brew pitcher set will brew about a quart ()4 cups) of cold brewed coffee, which is loosely similar to making coffee with a French press to make coffee, but instead of using freshly boiled water to extract regular strength coffee from the ground beans in 3-5 minutes, this set produces a strong concentrated coffee over 12-24 hours (depending on how strong a concentrate you want) using room temperature water to slowly extract the coffee from the ground beans. Both methods use coarse to regular ground coffee and it’s highly recommended you use filtered water for both methods because like the quality of the beans and skill of the roasters, it greatly affects the taste of the resulting coffee. The main draw of cold brewed coffee is the smooth flavor the process produces. Even those who seem to only tolerate coffee as a means to wake up or gain extra energy or endurance, For those who drink coffee as a base for other flavors, like vanilla, caramel, etc, tend to love unadorned cold brew. If you like coffee but wish it had a smoother taste, cold brew will likely be the answer. Everything about cold brewed coffee seems to be designed for the utmost convenience: It doesn’t require electricity, so it can be used when traveling or camping, it produces a rich, smooth coffee concentrate that is intended to store in the fridge for several days or a thermos for several hours, and the process uses room temperature water, so there’s no need to have a way to boil water.This particular set is compact, with all of the hardware you need to make and drink your coffee, including a reusable filtering system to produce the strongest, purest coffee. The set includes the picture, a tight fitting lid, a coffee scoop, a cup to hold the dripping filter after the brewing is complete, a filter in the form of a slim cylinder that locks into the lid so that it sits in the center of the pitcher. The filter has a top that fits flush into the top of it. You make a full pitcher of the cold brew by pouring about 4 cups of room temperature, filtered water into the pitcher (there is a maximum fill line printed on the pitcher). Pour 9 scoops of course to medium ground coffee into the filter (the scoop holds 2 tablespoons, so 9 scoops is 1&1/8 cups of coffee.), insert the filter top (which is alto a filter), and then attach the filter to the underside of the lid. This ensures that it stays stationary in the pitcher when it’s full of water. Insert the filter into the pitcher full of water, orienting it so the spout lines up. Set the pitcher out at room temperature for 12-24 hours, depending on how strong you want it to be. I like very strong coffee because I like to nmake iced lattes, which means diluting the coffee with milk, a little cream, and a flavored syrup. I experimented with leaving the cold brew on the counter for 36 hours and it was too strong, even for my milkiest lattes. I decant my cold brew into large thermoses so I can constantly have the cold brew on hand. This already promises to be a hot spring and summer, so this pitcher will get a lot of use. I always hand washed everything after I decant the new batch of brew simply because it only takes minutes. However, I believe it’s all dishwasher safe though I’d put the filter on the top rack. I have two more suggestions: investigate local coffee roasters. The absolute best coffee I’ve ever had is from a local brewer. My favorite independent coffee house sells it. It’s a bit pricier than the premium coffees in grocery stores but this is one thing I refuse to go low quality on. I’d rather drink less coffee than pay good money for subpar coffee, Fun fact: The coffee from France is some of the WORST in the world! It’s always been believed to be some of te best, even having a type of roast named after it but this fallacy is likely the result of actual fiction, namely literature and movies. A French prime minister famously said French coffee was donkey pi**! Allegedly, the reason a notoriously proud people put up with such a disgrace is, again allegedly, because the national industry is controlled by a mafia group that no one dares to challenge. Some believe the government is equally afraid of this group while others believe they’re simply well paid to look the other way. Sadly as an American, I can see either reason being equally true. The French citizens usually get their coffee from neighboring Italy or have it shipped in from Africa. Speaking of Italy, if you don’t have a local roaster, try Illy from Italy. Totally worth it. You can get it in most stores now. Some swear by the in store Dunkin Donuts brand of coffee. Second tip: Make/decant your own flavored syrups. Save your wine bottles, make simple syrup, and then add the extract of your choice: vanilla, almond, coconut, rum, then decant (you can purchase packages of pouring spouts online or find them in kitchen stores. You can even make a liquid caramel to use as a syrup. You can find the techniques for everything online. They’re all dead simple! Cheers!”

Customer Review: “Love this carafe. Easy to use and maintain. This brewing method makes great coffee when you use fresh coarsely ground coffee beans.”

Customer Review: “Purchased this for my husband for iced tea as buying bottles was getting expensive. This is a sturdy jar, made with thick heavy glass. The spigot attaches easily and does NOT drip. Being glass, it doesn’t retain any odor from whatever is stored in it. The strainer works well for coffee, tea and even fresh fruit if you are having a gathering and just want flavored water. We put this on the middle rack in the fridge and the spigot easily clears the door, so it doesn’t have to be moved except to clean and refill. The little chalkboard label is an adorable bonus which I wasn’t expecting.”

Customer Review: “I bought this so that I could make iced tea at home. I usually add a little bit of cool water to the bottom of it and then boil my tea and an electric kettle. I then add the hot tea directly to the container. It works great and it will hold the tea for a couple weeks before it gets bad. It fits well in the refrigerator and doesn’t take up too much space. I don’t know that I would want much larger a size due to the weight on the glass shelves of the refrigerator. It does seem to be pretty durable and I usually hand wash it and it does fine. I just make sure that I run some water and soapy water through the spigot part. Definitely a good value for what you’re getting. I wanted to go with glass so that I didn’t have hot tea going into plastic and potentially releasing PFAS. Metal top lid can be a little tricky to get aligned, but there’s no need to necessarily over tighten it. I’ve actually come to really like the Zulay products because they are of a good quality.”

Customer Review: “It’s a great product. Simple well built easy to use. I’ve only used it twice.First I tasted the coffe at different times. four hours, 6, 8, 12, 24. To see the difference that made.I didn’t like any of it. In fact I couldn’t drink it and threw it all out.Not the coffee makers fault. I just don’t like cold brew. It even makes me feel sick.I drink decaf for the flavor of it. I like a deep rich coffe flavor. I like a medium rroast sweet coffe bean espresso.Cold brew just doesn’t taste anything like that. Itt has its own taste wich is very mild and smooth or flavorless depending on your attitude. But it does extract more caffeine from the beans even my decaf beans made coffee to caffeinated for me. It also extracted some other stuff from the beans my espresso maker doesn’t having a totally different effect on that Ididn’t like.I recommend trying cold brew before getting into making it yourself but my coffee shop doesn’t have decaf cold brew so I had to buy this to see for myself.If you like cold brew this is a great way to go. Aside from changing the time of the brew you can pla around with adding paper filters inside the metal filter or filtering the the coffee after its downe but I didn’t mind the slight sludge on the bottom of my coffee cup.So the machine is simple easy to use works well easy to clean. Great if you like cold brew buts a completely different type of coffee.”

Customer Review: “I love this. It is not like pressing a button and coffee comes out, but cold brewing coffee is a bit of a process and should be, because it needs to sit for 12-24 hours. It is pretty easy to clean, simple to use, and the glass jar washes easily and does not stain. Coffee stains like a b….”

Customer Review: “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.”

Customer Review: “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.”
