Review on ☕ Zoku Instant Iced Coffee Maker: Fast Cooling, Reusable Chiller for Hot Beverages, Spill-Resistant Lid, Grey by Pamela Williams

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not bad but not good

Not a bad cup but not very good actually there are only 2 good uses for it. For quick chilling, use it to pour your coffee into a tall mug, or just drink a 6-8 oz cup of coffee. The first issue I noticed was that it wouldn't fit under the Keurig even without a drip tray. You can set it up if you only have a freezer insert but haven't put it up your sleeve yet. Second, if you drink pure black coffee, it is very low. You can get a nice 8 ounce cup if you add lots of cream or milk you are looking for closer to 6 ounces. The next problem is that the bottom of the liner is much narrower than the top, so you end up with iced coffee on the bottom and moderately cool coffee on top. The way the straw goes into the lid is unique, innovative and cool at first, BUT when you remove the lid to use the straw to break the iced coffee at the bottom you also get quick since you're only 6 ounces Getting coffee, you realize the straw doesn't go through the lid, it's designed to go through the top of the lid. So you either don't need to use the lid, either take the dirty straw and push it back through the top of the lid, or try widening the opening for the straw and feed it back through the back. So unless you drink a very small cup of coffee and only want it to be chilled or iced and not in between, I suggest making coffee ice cubes and adding them to a large mug and using them to quickly chill your morning drink, pour over them. Ice. Otherwise don't buy.
