Bodum 51oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker Black - Made in Portugal

I didn't know how much I needed one of these cold brew containers in my life 🤣 makes my mornings so much more enjoyable and hassle free, I just grab this from the fridge, pour, add my creamer ! The way it's designed the quality of the coffee comes out tasting more than bold and delicious ! You just press the filter down and when you pour it ensures you don't get grounds in your cup. Extremely durable and leak proof, I tested the theory just to make sure I don't get any surprises when handling it, the lid locks in place so by turning it so when you pour it doesn't leak or fall off. Very compact but enough volume to have coffee saved up for days if you use an average 12oz cup ! Extremely well worth it. Read more

This is my first go at making cold brew at home. I bought a mason jar with handle & spout (works great) with comes with a metal filter cone (not useful). At least with my well researched coffee:water ratio - and now limited practical experience - the cone will have coffee higher than the water you would use. And, it's a pain to get the grounds out afterwards. This french press works much, much better. First, you get more coffee to water contact. Why try to keep them apart? It's almost cruel. Second, should you choose you can really press the coffee out of the grounds to get every drop (you may get a little more sludge). Third, because it's got the widest of mouths it's the easiest dump out and clean. However, I DO recommend the mason jar handle/spout as a cool and practical container for the brew you will make from your concentrate. Just put the filter cone aside or put it on your coffee table as a conversation piece. It looks better than it works. I'm still working on perfection but here's what I've got so far. - 5.5oz course ground coffee. So far I like Eight O'Clock for value but I'll play the field. Dump grounds into french press. - Add 40oz clean water. Stir, cover. Leave for 24-36 hours with a good stir once or twice. I get noticeably better taste when I leave it out at room temp rather than "brewing" in the fridge. - Press the coffee. I get about 32oz of cold brew. I pour it into my mason/handle/spout thingamajig. Add 12oz clean water for approx 44oz (don't hold me to it). Shake and place in fridge. - Dump the grounds, rinse or wash it out. You be you.

I have been drinking ice coffee exclusively for about 15 years and buy whole beans and grind with a burr grinder. I had the queen of ice coffee makers (OXO) for many many years. It worked well even after my daughter knocked it off the counter and cracked the bottom part of the brewing container. After many years it has started to leak; the seals have worn away. I was looking for another iced coffee maker that could make about 32 Oz of dark concentrate iced coffee. I tried. Few of the infusion type available on Amazon and these type just can’t make concentrate no matter how long it is left to brew. If you want concentrate don’t bother with those. The water and coffee have to have a face to face meeting - anything else just doesn’t do the trick. Next I turned to French press style. I have always resisted this type due to my exp with hot brewing French press- ie super weak coffee. I bought this unit and after some exp I am pleasantly surprised and a bit delighted with it. I grind and fill it up with about 3 inches of coffee and leave it on the counter over night with the regular lid. Next day I put it in the fridge and let it set for another day. Then I switch the lids and press. I tried pouring it into another container at that point but there was too much coffee sludge. So now I leave it alone and just pour it from the press. No residue at all. When there is a few servings left I pour it out slowly into another container leaving the residue behind. It is easy to clean and I repeat the process. It makes a surprisingly large amount of concentrate and is actually easier to use than than the OXO and I use half the amount of coffee now to make just a bit less than I did with the OXO. It is a little big in the fridge so you need a wide space for it. I haven’t tried the other French press style ice coffee brewers so I cannot compare, but this one works great, is super inexpensive, uses less coffee grounds and is easy to clean. I highly recommend it. Read more

Besides getting it out of the original packaging as others mentioned....Easy to use and works great. You have to figure out how much coffee/water to use works for you. Read more

This thing works great, if filled all the way you can get 4 full 8 oz cups of coffee. I have tried a few different grounds and all taste great. Especially with cold filtered water. Would recommend for an acid ice coffee drinker. I don’t even add ice anymore Read more
