Zulay Kitchen 1 Gallon Cold Brew Coffee Maker – Thick Glass Pitcher with Stainless Steel Filter, Lid & Spout – Large Mason Jar Container Dispenser - Iced Coffee & Sun Tea Brewer for Fridge – Silver

Awesome for cold brew iced tea! No grounds in your drink, no bitter taste, a wonderful glass of iced tea comes forth. Easy way to make a concentrate and then add water to taste. Solid glass material, best filter I've seen, and the spigot seems to work fine. Tight lid on top. This is a good choice so buy with confidence.

This is better than a coffee press. It is easy to use. Brews perfect coffee..a gallon at a time. I love it! Easy to clean and attractive too.

I bought this so that I could make iced tea at home. I usually add a little bit of cool water to the bottom of it and then boil my tea and an electric kettle. I then add the hot tea directly to the container. It works great and it will hold the tea for a couple weeks before it gets bad. It fits well in the refrigerator and doesn’t take up too much space. I don’t know that I would want much larger a size due to the weight on the glass shelves of the refrigerator. It does seem to be pretty durable and I usually hand wash it and it does fine. I just make sure that I run some water and soapy water through the spigot part. Definitely a good value for what you’re getting. I wanted to go with glass so that I didn’t have hot tea going into plastic and potentially releasing PFAS. Metal top lid can be a little tricky to get aligned, but there’s no need to necessarily over tighten it. I’ve actually come to really like the Zulay products because they are of a good quality.

This is a great addition for me as I drink multiple cups of cold coffee per day and I prefer to make my own. It is very easy to make and takes no time at all to make delicious coffee for much cheaper than the store. My only complaint is the valve does leak a few drops after use. So I put a paper towel underneath and a small dish to collect the drippings. Other than that it is a great value for your money and will save you in the long run.

Very nice! My only minor concern with the purchase is the lid does seem a bit flimsy but otherwise a very nice product, sturdy glass gallon jug, filter worked perfectly even with using store bought pre ground coffee. Customer service is excellent, so amazing and very quick to reply back! Cold brew is definitely the chefs kiss of iced coffee

This is a large jar. Easy to use and clean. Great for tea or water in the refrigerator.

This is perfect for my needs. I had been using the ( way smaller ) 1 quart jar for the last year but I had to do the whole prep process every couple days. Now I make it about every 7-8 days. I grind my own beans so am able to make it course, which is needed for this method. The coffee is smooth, bold and rich with no acid. It stays fresh all week. If I had to pick one issue it would be that it drips just a bit after using it. I just keep a paper towel underneath the spout. I would recommend this setup.

I've been looking for a tea container for my fridge for a long time that had these features:* a spigot dispenser (so I can dispense right from the fridge)* large size (at least a gallon)* made of glass (I try to avoid plastic for food storage)* rectangular shape for better space utilizationThis met all my requirements, so I bought it. I've only used it once so far and it seems fine, but I have a few design criticisms:* The lid is crap -- it's very light weight (so easily bent), and the threads aren't deep enough to correctly guide the screwing action as you try to put on the lid -- so it's a pain to put the lid on.* Though it would be less stable, I'd prefer a design where the jug was deeper (front-to-back) and thinner (side-to-side) -- in this way it would stretch further back on the shelf of the fridge, and take up less premium horizontal real-estate at the front part of the fridge shelf. (It's hard to get at stuff behind the dispenser, so let the dispenser stretch all the way to the back of the shelf!)* I don't like how the spigot installs to the jug: it goes together like this:1. First put a decorative front-facing metal washer onto the threaded spigot pipe;2. then a tapered rubber gasget;3. then you place the spigot pipe through the jug;4. then add another rubber gasket from inside the jug;5. then another decorative metal washer; and finally6. a metal nut to compress it altogether.I'm skeptical of any metal-on-metal surface forming a good seal, so for now I've left off the outer metal washer. (I.e., I skipped step 1 above.) The main design problem I see with this assembly is that those rubber gaskets (while probably effective at stopping leaks across the compressed surface) are probably not doing a good job of stopping liquid from flowing along the helical path formed by the thread under the inner gasket ring. So assuming liquid can get past the inner nut and metal washer, it would slowly flow under the rubber gaskets through the helical tunnel formed by the thread all the way to where threaded pipe joins with the spigot body -- this is why I thought it important to leave off that outer metal washer.All that said, the thing does not appear to be leaking. Also, if it did start leaking through the thread, I'm sure I could pack the thread with Vaseline (people put that on their lips so probably safe?) to stop the leak.So for now I give it 4 stars, but if it starts leaking any time soon I'll be back to knock off a star.
