County Line Kitchen 64 oz Glass Cold Brew Coffee Maker with Leak-Proof Lid, Wide Mouth Mason Jar - Iced Coffee and Tea Pitcher - 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.

Great simple, economical process for brewing Cold Brew Coffee and Tea, the filter is very nice quality and is durable. The Ball Jar is "Ball" and not some cheap imitiation. Included lid with seal is a nice touch and does not leak, but takes some care in locking it down since the seal grips the filter and jar and adds some load against the threads. Not as easy vs. the regular Ball lids with bands which are a breeze to install. I initially had one of these and was using it to Cold Brew Coffee and Tea at diffferent times, due to demand and not wanting to cross or contaminate the flavor, I recently picked up another and will use one for Tea and the other for Coffee. Even with a coarse grind, I still noticed trapped grinds stuck in the filter, could not get them out perhaps if placed in the dishwasher but I have not tried this method yet? I still get some sediment which I read is common with this method, no big deal as it stay's on the bottom of the jar when pouring. The directions are straight forward but I still cannot match the flavor of Peet's Baridi Cold Brew which is bold and smooth, which I like. Peet's sells the Baridi Blend Beans specially for Cold Brewing, will give that a try to see if I can match the bottled version. For tea, I use 4 to 5 tablespoons of loose leaf tea and brew in the fridge per the directions, get great results and bought additional Ball jars or various sizes to store up a week's worth of cold brew tea and/or coffee for a week. I looked into Cold Brew due to my sometimes sensitive stomach, gastritis issues that pop up occasionally when I drink too much of that highly acidic coffee at work and reading how the reduction in acid % of cold brew, lookedl like a win win for me and so far it has helped. Looked at some of the drip systems and other higher cost Cold Brew methods, but after some research I narrowed it down to a simple filter mesh in a ball jar and this was it.

I tried my first cup of cold brew iced coffee about 4 years ago (in Seattle, no less!) and was very impressed with the smooth, flavorful coffee. At that time my coffee drinks were always overloaded with sweetners and milk, all to camouflage the acidic and "bitter" coffee it was paired with. Well cold brew coffee eliminates the need for all that! When I got home I researched the cold brew process and found so many complicated and convoluted methods that I was immediately intimidated from trying it. Fast forward to this year, when all the trendy coffee shops (including some major corporate coffee retailers) have finally jumped on the bandwagon of cold brew iced coffee. I was elated--I tried "their" cold brew and it's not bad. Not the same smooth, acid-free, flavorful coffee I had those 4 years ago, but it would do. I decided to try and make my own cold brew again, which led me here. Since becoming so popular, there are now several cold brew systems on the market! I decided to try this one, because of the simplicity and straightforward design. I've just poured my first batch of cold brew from this system, and I couldn't be happier! Not only is it easy to use, but the result is great! I did everything according to the directions, and besides my own clumsiness (spilled coffee grounds as I poured them into the filter) everything came out according to plan. Like other reviewers stated, I did find a thick coffee sediment at the bottom of the jar, however, it didn't make its way to the pitcher I transferred the coffee to when it was finished steeping. Here is how I finished off the process: Once the coffee was ready (I steeped it for 24 hours at room temperature, then put it in the fridge when I went to bed so it would be cold in the morning) I placed the mason jar in the sink and gently unscrewed the lid. Then I slowly lifted the metal filter out of the jar and held it over the opening while some last bits of coffee dropped from the filter. I gave it a few taps on the rim of the jar to help it along. Once the dripping stopped, I pulled the jar out of the sink, and proceeded to rinse out the filter by turning it upside down and running the tap over the filter, allowing the coffee grounds to go down the drain. It could not have been easier! There was no mess, and the filter came clean very easily. I then transferred the coffee from the mason jar to a tall 64 oz pitcher. I gently and slowly poured the coffee from the jar to the pitcher and when it got to the end, the brown sediment was left behind at the bottom of the mason jar, which I promptly rinsed out and prepped for another batch of cold brew! Thank you!!!

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!
