Bean Envy Cold Brew Coffee Maker - 32 oz Glass Coffee Cold Brew Maker and Pitcher w/Silicone Cap & Base

First cup of coffee after drinking from a plastic machine all these years…night and day. This is an AMAZING product and so easy to make the perfect cup of joe.

Makes great coffee

Very good

Easy setup and consistent results. This is not a coffee pot that you put on the stove. You pour heated water over the groundings of your choice and serve at once. I strongly recommend a kettle to accompany this coffee maker. The design is quite nice and the stainless steel filter works well and is easy to clean. As I said, the company does not recommend putting the carafe on the stove to keep heated. Therefore you should measure the coffee you intend to consume ight after making.

Very well made carafe. It is still holding up after months of daily usage. The only thing is I don’t use the metal colander to brew the coffee, I use an old fashioned “colador”. The metal one drains slowly and some grind falls through if you use expresso coffee like Bustelo.

We consume oceans of coffee over here in Crankyland, and this glass flask and stainless filter basket has worked very well for over a year. The flask can get stained in the lower chamber, and no adult in the house can get their hands in there to rub away the stain. One of our small children can, but they are not careful and tend to whack the flask against the sink - so fearing injury to flask and child, we don't let the kids clean it. We use a brush handle and wet paper towels to clean it once a month or so. I suggest cleaning the outside of the pouring lip once a week - otherwise, the flask will dribble coffee, which results in swear words being uttered. If the lip of the flask is free from coffee residue/oils, dribbling is eliminated (this works well on all the pouring lipped items in the house, just a swipe or two with a paper towel can free you from this annoying problem). The glass is advertised as being borosilicate, and it has survived a few bangs and bumps without fracturing or chipping, but we are generally careful with it. The bottom of the flask has a silicone/rubbery base, and this has held up well, prevents the flask from slipping or sliding - but I would not set it directly over flame or electric element. As we have Asians in the house, we have an electric urn that is perpetually filled with hot (208 deg. F) water, so I never have to wait for water to boil before making coffee. If I had to boil water first, this flask would not be as convenient for me, and I may use a regular drip coffee maker. The recipe that works for me is a 50\50 blend of Kirkland coffee (brown can, Columbian, ground) and Cafe Bustelo (bright yellow foil bag, expresso style, ground), use 1/3 cup measuring scoop (scraped to level full with a green resin chop stick) and flop it right into the metal filter. Dispense boiling, or near boiling water into the filter. My urn dispenses water at a rate whereby the filter is filled with water exactly when the flask is half full, then stop adding water and let the filter drain. The result is generally too strong for Wife - she adds milk, but I drink it black out of a shot glass because I'm Righteous. Not fancy, but ready in an Instant, and my mood is improved, my rather "mature" brain works quicker and better, and the days and nights seem Cheerier and less Fraught with Melancholy, Anger or Inconsolable Weeping. Add a bit of care with lip maintenance, and dribbling can be a thing of the past as well. That warrants Five Stars, according to Me!Using fresh ground beans is of course better, but this takes too much time, and the howling grinder blows my head off when I forget to switch off the hearing aids. The increase in Deliciousness is not proportional to the amount of Trouble incurred by preparing whole beans because I'm old, I don't want to diddle-daddle and wait, and the clock goes tick tick tick, and now I'm even older. Dangit, I need Coffee, like, Right Now.

This is the best cold brew coffee maker. It is incredibly well designed. Many great features that make it stand out from others. The silicone rim on the bottom is a nice touch- no dinging it on the counter top or sliding around. There are two lids- one for brewing and one for storing. The cylinder for the grounds is all metal- zero plastic. The rim/seals are all silicone for a tight, durable, leak-free fit. It’s the perfect size for the fridge and the glass is top quality. It pours well without dripping. Easy to clean with a brush. I liked it so much, I bought a second for a friend. She also raved about how great it was.

Use daily. Easy to clean. Great pot.
