Maestri House Compact Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 41oz Iced Tea and Coffee Maker Brewer Space Saving Tritan Pitcher, 350 Mesh Filter, 100% Leak-Proof (Black)

I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt like this product deserved one. This is an excellent cold brew maker. It is very easy to use and has a great 1,200 mL capacity. The plastic construction is more versatile (less fragile) than other brewers made from glass. The filtration system eliminates the sludge that other brew systems leave. The packaging is very thoughtful - a scoop and sponge are included. The scoop is easily overlooked, but it is the perfect size to clean the used grounds out of the filter. The sponge is an unexpectedly useful form factor to help with cleaning. Hopefully the sponges can be ordered separately, since sponges don't last forever.Some minor downsides:Cleaning is moderately easy, but the only component that is recommended for the dishwasher is the pitcher (which is also easiest to clean by hand). All of the other elements are recommended for hand washing, which doesn't take long.The way the filter is configured, the pitcher will work most effectively if stored (at least for part of the brew cycle) on its side. However, there is a vent in the lid that is prone to leaking when the pitcher is stored on its side. Brewing upright can lead to the top grounds not getting exposed to water.Unfortunately, one of the pieces broke during routine use after a couple of months: the pitcher lid is attached with a couple of hinges that snap the lid into place on the pitcher. One of the hinge attachments broke. I contacted customer service and a replacement pitcher arrived four days later. I'd recommend being careful with these hinge attachments as they seem prone to break. At the same time, the customer service is very responsive and suggests that they take support of their products seriously.

I’ve had four other cold brew makers before this. This one is the best by far.1. It’s the perfect height- others are too tall.2. Leakproof means you can shake or store it in other positions.3. Most important- the flavor of the coffee is clean and bright- the filter means no grounds make it into the carafe. This is the ONLY design I’ve tried that does not allow grounds through.4. Design is easy to use and pour- other cold brew makers have tiny spouts and the cold brew trickles out- not this one. Pours quickly.5. Plastic, not glass- it doesn’t break.I drink at least a full pitcher a day and keep two cold brew makers brewing at all times and bought this to replace a broken one. I’m now throwing out my other pitcher and getting a second one of these. Highly recommend.

Good quality brewer. Have used it for iced tea Easy to use and clean.

I only wish it was bigger!! It works as promised!

We love iced coffee, got tired of throwing away this large plastic containers. Simple to use. Easy to clean. Great tasting coffee.

Works great! Used some Kirkland ground coffee and it came out smooth. Excited to save money on ice coffee.

I got this jug for coffee as it would keep smaller pieces of coffee out of my coldbrew but it also seems to help keep if fresh for longer because of the seal it can form, the filter is also useful when making other drinks that need to be filtered.

The design of this is great. Different levels are marked on the filter and the container to help be consistent with the mix/strength. Very sturdy and the filter cleanup is very easy too.
