We tested each device at least twice, using the same pre-ground coffee from Stone Street. We evaluated each device based on criteria important to users, namely function, durability and design. The testing process for these cold brewers was exhaustive, lasting more than five weeks. The plastic construction means it doesn't feel as high-end as some of the other brewers can leak when turned on its side for brewing if you aren't careful.ġ-liter capacity plastic and glass construction with steel mesh filter available in brown, black or redġ-liter capacity all-glass carafe, all steel filterġ.8-liter capacity all-plastic construction The glass handle feels more fragile, and while we didn't run into any problems, we worry that in a high-traffic household with kids or pets or under heavy use it might break over time. The Hario uses a lot of plastic parts, and while they are well built, they may not appeal to those looking to avoid the material. As straightforward as any of the brewers, this was one of the most upscale design-wise, without feeling fussy.Īffordable and unbreakable, the Takeya cold brew maker is great for taking with you wherever you want a cool, refreshing coffee drink. The Ovalware RJ3 is pleasingly easy to use and a handsome visual addition to a breakfast table. It's among the simplest to assemble and use, it executed an exemplary brew in about the shortest time span and it looked snazzy doing it.
The Hario Mizudashi is sleek, sophisticated and streamlined. Other cold brew coffee makers we recommend This pitcher produced consistently robust coffee and looked great (in one of three colors: black, brown and red) doing so. And cleanup is easy, thanks to the bottom of the mesh filter unscrewing for easy dumping of used grounds.
A plastic lid secures the filter and, once the filter is removed after steeping is done, the remaining liquid in the carafe. The lid and handle, made from a durable plastic that easily screws on and off during brews and cleanup, make the whole glass setup less precarious for the clumsy among us. The filter is constructed of a light mesh and plastic. All the pluses of cold brew come through in this compact delivery system.įrom the unboxing of this beauty on, design lovers will appreciate the tall, slender carafe, which could be proudly displayed on any table and will fit unobtrusively on kitchen counters or within most cabinets. When the lid is on, put the entire thing in the fridge and wait eight hours or so, to your preferred cold brew strength, and you’ve got 1 liter of liquid magic: roasty, chocolaty, nutty, smoky, but smoother than any coffee we’d ever tasted. (Even at a slow pour, this process takes maybe 60 to 90 seconds.) There’s a mark on the filter that you align with a mark on the spout of the carafe before you replace the lid to keep the filter from coming out when you remove the lid. There are, of course, simple but precise directions, with helpful graphics, but if you’re more touch-and-go with your coffee, you simply fill the filter with grounds to the top of the mesh, place the filter back into the carafe and slowly pour filtered water over the grounds until the carafe is full. The Mizudashi arrives in a slim, sparsely designed cardboard rectangle, and it’s a perfect harbinger of the space-conserving, efficient experience to come. And the system couldn’t be easier to operate, even if one had come to it never having made a batch of cold brew. The beauty of cold brew coffee shines with this device, which falls at the intersection of function, style and affordability. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
