County Line Kitchen Glass Cold Brew Coffee Maker with Lid - Wide Mouth, 2 Quart (64 oz) - Heavy Duty, Leak Proof - Sun & Iced Tea Pitcher, Cold Brew Coffee, Breast Milk Storage, Water - Gray

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 bew 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.

Perfect, easy way to make cold brew at home! I have two jars to keep a steady supply of cold brew in the fridge in my busy household. About 10 generous scoops of coarse ground coffee (and about 12 hours in the fridge) will yield a pitcher of cold brew that is ready to use without diluting. Saves us a ton of money. And yes, I have used the more complicated methods/machines. This one is easier and far less fussy.

I had to replace my Primula cold brew set because the plastic cover broke down (took it out of storage from my cellar for the summer season and cover came apart in pieces, had it about 5 yrs). I began my research and at first was looking for a fancy machine that would make the cold brew quicker. The reviews for those machines are hit or miss. I decided to keep looking because I didn’t want to spend the money on so-so results, nor did I want to have to bother with a return. I did like the Primula system and saw they had newer options but one upgrade I hoped for was a bit more of a yield so a batch would last my work week. My search continued and I decided to look at the highest reviews with a good # as well. I looked on Google but settles at Amazon for the most options. Came across this one, checked out the videos (well done for the lost part) and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. Price was good, process simple and looked like the yield was decent, at least would get me through the week. I’ve used it through the summer and will be putting it away now until about next Memorial Day ( The verdicts is that it checks off all my boxes- - Simple to use and clean. Put all pieces in the dishwasher 1/wk. - After you account for the displaced liquid due to the filter being removed I’d say I got 4-5 cups or 32-40 oz - Price was good and comparable to others that were more complicated or fragile. - All pieces are well made, quite sturdy. I wished the handle didn’t stick out so far but because the glass container is thick and heavy (which I like) you need that leverage to hold it securely. Tip: It takes a while to fill it with water through the strainer w/the coffee, so I fill the container about 1/2 way with water and then do the rest through the strainer. I always let it brew for 24 hrs and there’s no taste difference at all. -

This works well and is very easy to use. We've made many batches of iced coffee already and it's delicious. Much easier than a previous iced coffee maker. My only complaint is that there were no instructions describing how much ground coffee to put in. So I winged it and it turned out fine. But it would be good to have a basic ratio for grounds to water somewhere in the packaging.

This is one of those rare products where it's so simple, you ask yourself "why didn't I think of that?" while at the same time, they really made sure everything was high quality. The stainless steel insert where you put your grounds is not some cheap stainless steel mesh that will get holes in it 6 months out, it's very thick and very strong. There would have to be a lot of force involved to damage this thing, it's not likely to accidentally happen while you're cleaning it(which is something that happened to me with a lesser setup I've used). The spout, likewise, is made of noticeably high quality plastic(with a silicon seal). The 2 quart jar, filled up, can be picked up by that handle, and you will not feel it flexing or straining or anything like that. It pours very well, no drizzle down the side, and has a solid feel like you get when using a one piece glass or metal pitcher. It was clearly engineered well and it shows and you can feel it when you're using it. As should be clear in the description and others have mentioned in the reviews, the nozzle/handle and the stainless steel insert for holding the tea/grounds are completely separate elements. This means you can just grab another 2 quart mason jar and standard lid, and have one "brewing" with the stainless steel insert, while having another one already "brewed" and ready to drink with the spout. If you make sun tea like we often do in the summer, use the mesh insert with a standard lid instead of the spout as plastics generally don't do well in the sun. Not sure if this one would, but with how cheap and easy to find mason jar lids are, there's no reason to subject the spout to the elements like that. If you drink a lot of iced tea or cold brew coffee, especially if you've been buying it at the store in big containers, this can save you a ton of money in a short amount of time, and you won't feel like you're using some cheap mickey mouse device that requires special techniques or cleaning brushes. This is an excellent high quality setup, and one of the easiest to clean you'll find. We only make cold brew coffee a few times a year for certain guests, but we drink a lot of iced tea. It's exactly the same process, you just steep the coffee longer. If you're looking for a setup like this to make cold brew coffee or iced tea, get this, you won't regret it.

Bottom line: this is a phenomenal cold brew maker - IF you have time to filter. Pros: durable, simple, makes delicious cold brew, easy to clean, affordable Cons: when using pre-ground coffee, there is a ton of sediment, which takes time to filter out Worth it? Absolutely! I ordered this bad boy and couldn't wait to use it once it arrived. Easy: open, clean, fill the filter with grounds to the top line level on the jar (will leave a few inches on top - picture included). Then pour cold, filtered water slowly over the grounds, up just past the top line on the jar so all the grounds are submerged. I stirred the grounds for about 5 minutes. Seal the jar with lid. I did this at 4pm, and let the jar sit out until I went to bed, which was around midnight. Then I stuck it on the fridge. At 9am the next morning, I stirred the grounds once more, then dumped them. Cleaning the filter was a breeze with a soft baby bottle brush. I then went through the painful process of filtering out the sediment. A lot of people won't do this because it is time-consuming and you do lose a little bit of coffee. But honestly, losing a bit of coffee is worth having clean, filtered coffee in my mind. I transferred the cold brew to a bowl, where I mixed it with a simple syrup I had just made. Then I rinsed out the jar and began filtering. I used a pour-over with a coffee filter to strain all of the sediment out. It took about 20 minutes and required multiple coffee filters, but was 100% WORTH IT. The end result was a delicious, balanced, robust and CLEAN cold brew that I immediately poured over ice and added cream to. Wow all around. Everything about this system is great, but the tedious process of filtering again means minus 1 star. I had found another cold brew system with a second filter and do wish I had gone with that one. Regardless, this is a fantastic option if you're either 1) open to sediment; 2) grind your own beans and use a more coarse ground; or 3) have time to filter. Pictures included - paper towel roll for size reference. Stir spoon and filtering process included.

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....

This system works really well. The filter is extremely fine. Surprisingly it did not get clogged up as quickly as I expected. It washes out with no problems for me. And you can toss it in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning. The seam could come loose eventually, but it has a steel band around the outside of the top and bottom to keep it structurally sound. It is well made. Based on my experience with cold brew coffee, here are some thoughts: 1. I foolishly filled it up to the very top with coffee grounds instead of leaving an inch up top. It took 10 min to filter all my water through. Don't do that. If you want to fill it up with coffee, use another technique as per below. 2. Using preground coffee or having a good grinder will give best results because the fines will not clog up the filter, thus allowing for more water flow and movement when you shake it. That said, even with my lousy blade grinder it worked fine and the grounds will always be surrounded with water... though I'd expect the water in the grounds to get pretty saturated unless you periodically shake it. But water tends to diffuse anyways so it probably takes care of itself. 3. To get a stronger/faster extraction you might consider using warmer water. Heating 8 cups of water to warm it up (120F or so) and using that will kickstart the extraction nicely without bringing out too much acidity or bitterness. You can experiment to find the right balance for your beans. 4. I'd recommend adding about 6 cups of water to the jar straight up, then adding the filter and the coffee, then pouring the rest into the filter over the coffee. This will save some pouring time, especially if you want to fill the coffee grounds to the top. 5. If you want to brew more at a time, consider using an empty milk jug like I had been doing. You just use a funnel to pour everything in and you are ensured a full immersion with plenty of room for the water to circulate freely. In this case, the work is done at the END instead of the beginning like with this brewer. What you do is pour the coffee/grounds mixture right into the jar with empty filter which will catch the grounds. The grind will determine how fast it will filter out into the jar. Once it slows down too much, pull the filter out, rinse it, transfer filtered coffee to other container, and repeat. You can swish the filter around to get all the coffee out. Then you can go back and do a second filtration to get most of the fines out. 5.1) If you use the milk gallon approach above, I recommend pouring the coffee into MULTIPLE smaller containers. This way you use each small one for a few days and each one that you use will be filled to the top, not ever opened, and thus will not oxidize and get stale. This way you can use the entire gallon worth of concentrate and last for a week or two. 6. As they stated, you can get a second jar somewhere to make a new batch when the old batch is almost gobbled up, so theres no "down time" or need to short-circuit the brewing process and wind up with weaksauce coffee. 7. They say you can leave it out to brew but I don't really like this idea...not for more than an hour or so. Leaving the coffee at room temp, bacteria will multiply relatively quickly. Sun Tea had similar issues back when it was popular. The caffeine from your coffee will inhibit this somewhat, but I wouldn't take the chance. (assuming you aren't using decaf!) 8. Actually check out the manual...it has some quite interesting recipes!

Excellent item, I use this for cold brew and swap out the stainless steel lid for the lid with a handle (purchased separately) when it's ready to be served up.

If you aren't in a rush for a cold brew, this is an excellent option. I usually give it 48 hours before the coffee is strong enough. Extra large well made glass container. I like that the lid has a sturdy handle. If I had one complaint it would be that the flip top on the lid doesn't snap shut to prevent spills.

Bought this for work, very happy with it. Filter mesh is top quality, everything is easy to clean as well. Make sure you get a coarse ground coffee to work the best. I have since bought another for home.

Very easy to use, good quality materials like thick glass and a tight seal. I stored it on its side in the fridge to test the seal for camping and it held up. Makes delicious cold brew. Make sure to use coarse grind or you may end up with some very very fine coffee grounds in your coffee. I find 24 hrs makes the perfect brew. I would buy again.

I am absolutely thrilled with my Cold Brew Coffee Maker! This Mason Jar Pitcher has become an essential part of my morning routine. The design is not only charming with its classic Mason jar aesthetic but also highly functional. The durable glass construction ensures that my cold brew stays fresh and delicious for days. What's great is the simplicity of the brewing process - just add coffee grounds and water, let it steep overnight, and wake up to a smooth and flavorful cold brew coffee. The stainless steel filter is a game-changer, making cleanup a breeze and eliminating the need for disposable filters. Plus, the pitcher is easy to store in the fridge and pours without any drips or spills. It's convenient, efficient, and produces the perfect cup of cold brew every time. Highly recommend!
