Primula Cold Brew Carafe

This is hands down the best iced coffee that I ever had. I first learned about "cold brew" coffee from tasting it at a local starbucks. Needless to say, I was impressed, and researched on how I could make my own batch of cold brew coffee. I did some research online on different cold brew systems and decided to give this one a try based on previous customer ratings and reviews.Unfortunately, when I received it in the mail, the handle had a small crack in it. I contacted customer service and they immediately shipped me a new system free of charge. I was very impressed by their customer service.Finally, I got my new cold brew system up and running and I am very satisfied with it. Listed below are a few highlights about the cold brew coffee maker:- Easy to use. There is a handout included as well as a number of youtube videos showing how to setup the cold brew coffee maker.- Smooth taste. It takes 12-24 hours in the fridge to "marinate" but it is worth it. According to the box, it says the coffee brewer system makes your coffee, 65% less acidic. Now I'm not a scientist or anything but i can definitely taste the difference and it is a much more refreshing and cleaner tasting coffee.- Easy to disassemble and clean. It is dishwasher safe. However, I feel safer hand-washing it.- Variety. You can make a bunch of different drinks and can even use it to make tea.- Customer service. As described above I am most impressed with the customer service and how quickly they responded to my questions and concerns.I would definitely recommend buying this product if you are looking to enhance your coffee experience. You are getting the most "bang for your buck" with this cold brew coffee maker.

When I worked for Nordtrom, their coffee shops carried this at the top tier stores selling for full price. I knew one of the buyers/directors for the region and they only buy quality hardware to sell. It’s been some time since then and this is usually available for less on Amazon and it’s well built. Dishwasher safe but I hand clean it, and dishwasher the filter once a month or so instead of the typical hand wash.The seals last for years before they loosen a little bit, it’s not even that much they still work fine. After five 6-7 years mine still seals airtight and works just fine. I use it for cold brew coffee and I stir occasionally during the process. The unit is fabulous for this. If the coffee is finely ground their might be some residual sludge at the very bottom. Medium and coarser grinds are better with this one.

I have two cold-brew coffee makers. This coffee maker makes the most robust cold brew I have had. With my other pitcher, the coffee grounds float to the top of the filter, so it’s weaker. I love the design, and the glass pitcher helps the coffee get cold quicker.The downfall of this pitcher is it leaks grounds. So I have to filter the coffee before I can drink it. It isn't very convenient and slows down my morning routine. Also the top of my pitcher is loose, so sometimes, when pouring the coffee, some will leak down the side.

PROS: This cold brew maker is possibly my best buy of the year. It can save money and make better coffee than average coffee shop cold brew, and be relatively low-maintenance, with a good routine. In my case, I spend about $12 on coffee beans per week with this cold brew maker. Translate that to coffee shop term, I'd spent about $17 on coffee per week. So this coffee maker breaks even in two months.What I do to ensure having enough cold brew every day goes like this: 1. Load coarse coffee ground into filter. 2. add cold tap water to fill up the filter. 3. Bang on the plastic top a couple times to help water permeate through coffee ground (essential). 4. repeat step 2 and 3 until the carafe is full. 5. Leave carafe in fridge overnight for 24h. 5. remove cold-brew liquid to a mason jar and clean cold brew maker, so that the next batch will be ready before you finish the current one.I do agree with the review that said this coffee makes relatively weak brew. I try to compensate that by leaving it in the fridge longer.

Gift for my mother.It did not hold as much as I thought.Good value, but was not durable.

This is perfect for making cold brew coffee overnight, but the only thing about this that gets annoying is cleaning. It cannot be put in a dishwasher so everything is by hand. I once cleaned and dried it and just set it on the counter for a few days because I wasn't using it, and it grew mold all inside it. Obviously, I scrubbed the hell out of it so I could use it again, but if you want to store this, put a few ounces of water on the bottom and just keep it in the fridge until you need it again. No mold that way. As long as you do that, it's perfect.

I bought this in 2015 and it was the best thing I've bought! It's so much cheaper to make your own cold brew than buying it at a cafe. I have used mine religiously for 5 years! It just broke the other day (because I dropped the glass carafe) and I am buying my second one to replace it! It's super easy to use, looks good, and fits in the door of the fridge. I let mine "brew" for 24 hours in the fridge and then transfer the coffee to a mason jar so it stay sealed and fresh for days. It's dishwasher safe and the pitcher is glass.

Well the wife and i went off of the reviews and most were good but when we received it and during the first hand washing the bottom broke out of it. Not sure if it was defective or just fragile. I contacted the company and they offered me a discount on a replacement glass pitcher which was nearly the same price new. We think we are just going to return through amazon and go with the more beefy mason jar looking cold brewer.

Sleek design withe easy to use grounds container. Simple to use and fashionable design.

Este carafe lo compré específicamente para preparar café cold brew, y no me ha descepcionado.Lo uso a diario para tener café fresco diariamente.Se ve muy bien, moderno. Y además es funcional.El único detalle negativo que puedo encontrar, es que la agarradera del filtro de malla, está sujeta por una especie de remaches de aluminio, y tuve que pedir una reposición, porque uno de los remaches se salió.Después lo probaré infusiones calientes-

Excellent cold brew.

La jarra es de buena calidad, el filtro de acero inoxidable es bastante fino y puedes hacer aproximadamente un litro de concentrado de café, me encanta ya que no se amarga tanto el sabor como cuando se usa calor.

Es una excelente jarra para hacer cold Brew o diferentes infusiones, los materiales son de muy buena calidad.
