Very good cold brewer.
This cold brew coffee maker is great. I was a little skeptical about it when I was shopping for one. But for such an inexpensive price and Amazon's great return policy, I would try it out. Well I'm glad I did!
Even before it got to me, the seller sent me an email with some suggestions on how to cold brew and a pdf attachment with some nice recipes. I also bought a can of Cafe Du monde coffee to use with it.
When it arrived, I went right in. I unboxed the brewer, and was really impressed with the quality of it. Very well made. The filter is strong and the removable rubber bottom of the carafe is a really good idea to make it non-slip.
I like my coffee strong, so I filled the filter with coffee to the top. Especially if you are going to add ice later to your drink, make it strong. When your filter is halfway filled with coffee, fill the carafe with water halfway as well. Mix the coffee in the filter a little bit. Then fill the filter to the top with coffee and then fill with water. Give it another couple stirs and place in the fridge. When carrying to the fridge make sure to hold the bottom of the carafe. The handle is not as strong when filled with water. Come back the next day and stir some more. Later that day, or even the next day, your coffee is ready to go.
I made Vietnamese coffee with mine. I put some sweetened condensed milk on the bottom of my glass ,with a splash of milk or half and half, then ice and cold coffee. AMAZING! Worth the wait. Not bitter, but not overly sweet either. Great taste with the cafe du monde coffee.
Go get yourself one of these and enjoy. I am going to try the pumpkin spice one, that is in the recipe book the seller emailed me next. Can't wait!!!
