You slowly pour the entire amount of water over the grounds. Begin by moistening the grounds with the two cups. Then fill the pot with the remaining water until it reaches the top of the glass "window." "Use about a cup of "cold brew" coffee grounds, which are coarser than regular coffee grounds." During the 24-hour brewing process, I use a chop stick to carefully stir the grounds a couple of times. The coffee is delicious! This brewer is one of our favorites!
Because this pitcher is for making a concentrate, the amount of coffee you put in the filter determines how much you dilute it. The coffee is stored in a 2-liter pitcher. Because the cold brew pitcher has a capacity of 48 oz. I use 11 scoops (11 x 6 oz.) of coffee. = 66 oz. Add 18 oz. to the mix. add 48 oz. of water To fill my pitcher, I used a gallon of cold brew. I hope this is clear. 6 oz is considered a "cup" of coffee. When using a tablespoon scoop, be careful not to overfill the container.
Yes, you can reheat the coffee after it's been brewed (cold or hot). 12 hours at room temperature, or 24 hours at room temperature 18 hours), but some of the advantages and flavor differences gained through the slower and colder brewing processes are lost (e.g. bitterness, as well as acidity). You can find some videos on the best ways to heat and even reheat cold [brewed] coffee on the internet. As a general rule, keep it no hotter than the temperature at which you can comfortably drink it. Best of luck!
The lid fits snugly on the top and can be twisted to pour the coffee out nicely; there are holes for the coffee to escape. It is not completely airtight, however, because if it is tipped over, the coffee will spill. This cold brew coffee maker has a lot of appeal for me. I hope this information is useful.

It's fine, but there are a few pointers to keep in mind if you want to get the most out of your iced coffee.
- Fill the middle strainer only about two-thirds full with coffee grinds.
- Pour your water over them slowly. Stop pouring when the pitcher is about two-thirds full of water.
- Using a long spoon or utensil, thoroughly stir the coffee grounds. You'll notice that the water is darkening now.
- Add more grinds to the top once all of the grinds have been thoroughly mixed and saturated (the more you add, the stronger the coffee will be).
- Slowly pour more water into the new grinds on top and stir until they are completely submerged.
- Allow to steep for at least 24 hours.
- Pour a large cup of cold brew before drinking in the morning, then open your grinds strainer and pour that cup of cold brew back over the grinds instead of drinking it.
- You can now enjoy a cup of cold brew that is both strong and well-balanced. br>br>The goal is to make a dark, strong, cold brew. Even after sitting overnight, the coffee grinds compact in the strainer, preventing water from passing through completely. The color of the water will alert you to this. The first few times we made cold brew, it was weak and had a tea-like color rather than a dark coffee color. When you saturate and mix the grinds at the same time, the water soaks into all of the grinds. You *could* skip the last step before drinking, but the reason I pour the first cup back over the grinds is to fully mix the coffee so you don't get a weaker cup at the top and a stronger cup at the bottom where the flavor sunk. I hope this information is useful.
People have complained that the glass is too thin; however, I disagree; the glass appears to be thick enough to me, and I have had no problems. I only have three complaints. 1. br>br> Pouring does not work as well as others have stated because the lip appears to be poorly designed. It's not a big deal; if you pull the cover up a little, it pours fine; however, it's a little inconvenient and, I'm sure, easy to fix. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br Coffee grains, as mentioned by others, appeared in my final coffee product; I'm not sure if I used too fine a grain for it. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. Until you get it, the size is misleading. There isn't a way to make 51 out of this. I suppose 2 oz is just the standard size? It only yields about 30 oz. of product. If you're making it for more than one person and you both enjoy coffee, it can be a pain. Hopefully, this information will assist you in making an informed decision.
In the last two years, I've purchased four different Cold Brew "Contraptions. " This is by far the best, and it's very simple to use (just fill the center filter with coffee grounds, add water, and wait 12 to 24 hours). It's simple to clean up afterward. When you're done brewing, simply remove the main filter, discard the grounds, and rinse with water. Here are a few of my personal favorites:
1. In my coffee, there are no grounds. Even with low-cost store-bought (Folgers) supplies.
2. Even if you drink a lot of coffee, this brewer will make enough coffee for two days (for one person).
3. In the fridge, the pitcher keeps well.
Tips:
1. ) Slowly pour the water over the grounds until they are completely saturated.
2. ) Make sure the water you're using is at room temperature.
3. ) For a stronger brew, leave it out on the counter for a few hours before putting it in the fridge.
4. ) After I remove the filter, I top it off with a little water.
5. ) Add some heavy cream or half-and-half to make it extra special!.
I've gone through two of these cold brewers in the last year (one of which was the older model without the exterior plastic supports). Both of them were shattered by a laughably insignificant force. The first broke when it was knocked over by a plastic milk jug in the fridge, and the second broke when it was picked up by the glass rather than the handle. br>br>This is unacceptable, particularly in the second instance. Nothing in the kitchen should break just because it was picked up by the object's body rather than the handle. It not only wastes money by breaking the cold brewer, but it's also extremely dangerous. br>br>While I enjoyed using this cold brewer, it is far too dangerous for me to recommend it to anyone if it is likely to shatter catastrophically during normal use. This product should not be used; the cost and convenience are not worth the risk of getting glass in your food or cutting your hand open.
Paper-thin glass is used to make the pitcher. The second time I used this product, it broke. The glass of the pitcher cracked as I was hand-washing it with dish soap and water. The pitcher is shown next to a standard pint glass in the photo for comparison. It was a waste of $20.
So my biggest issue with this isn't with the construction, materials, or ease of use; it's with the fact that you can't make a strong toddy with cold brew coffee in the right proportions. I make use of a one-to-one correspondence. 8 weight-to-coffee ratio (e. g. , a coffee-to-water ratio of 8:1) 3 oz coarse ground coffee, 24 oz water The problem is that 3 oz of grounds almost completely fills the center column, while 24 oz of water barely fills it halfway, leaving you with grounds that aren't in contact with the water. Adding more water would be fine, but the resulting cold brew would be weaker. My advice is as follows: This is not a good use of your time. It would be fantastic if the pitcher was narrower, and the ground column was wider and lower.
I couldn't see any cracks or holes, and when I tried to remove the rubber holder from the glass container, the glass shattered in my hand, badly cutting me. I should have been more cautious when attempting to separate what was not easily separated, but it should not have lost its integrity after a few weeks of use. It's too late to return; mine was a fluke, but it could also be a design flaw.
It's actually a little smaller than I anticipated. It filled a venti-sized Starbucks cup to the brim and then some. It does, however, perform exactly as I expected! There were no grounds in my coffee, and the container isn't made of glass, which I appreciate.
