Review on ☕ Wide Mouth Cold Brew Coffee Maker: Glass Mason Jar Carafe Kit for the Best Tasting Concentrate - Organic Cotton Filter Brewing System - Make, Store & Pour Refreshing Iced Coffee Beverages by Liana Allen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good, but could use some improvements

I have a lot of experience with Cold Brew Coffee, having run a coffee shop for many years. I like the "toddy" system we used for cold brew, but it puts a lot of weight on the top of the carafe, which can easily tip over. This method seemed like a good solution to this problem by using a steam bag inside the decanter. The product arrived very quickly. The packaging was amazing; all reusable, recyclable materials. It doesn't come with instructions. The e-book will be sent to you automatically shortly after the package arrives. However, I winged it the first time I used it. I calculated how much coffee we used for a full pound of toddy and adjusted the measurements to a smaller 32 ounce size. Ceramic tableware. Maybe I overdid it with the amount of coffee and preferred a strong cold drink. The next morning I couldn't get the bag out as the coffee had tripled in size compared to its dry volume. I had to pour out about half of the wet coffee grounds to get the brew bag out. This problem would be solved if they used a wide-mouth jar instead of the narrow-mouth jar that comes with it. About the spoon. It's just an added value and doesn't really add to the purchase. The shovel worked better for me. I think it's a little over the price. You can easily make your own kit by sewing a small pouch out of unbleached organic fabric. Tin cans are cheap. The handy lid that came with this set is nice but superfluous. You don't need a spoon. The cold brew was very good and I was able to make a very strong concentrate. I enjoyed reading the e-book. They clearly explain different ways of preparing a cold drink. The website is well done, almost worth the price of the kit.

Pros
  • Cold Brew Coffee Machines
Cons
  • Not everything fits
