I have this and it is AMAZING!!!! Totally worth the price, we use it all summer. PROS:-it’s glass and stainless steel-Canister has micro/pinholes so that the coffee isn’t seeping out-bottom of the glass canister has little pores, so any coffee grinds that seep out are “trapped” in the pores, and don’t end up as sludge at the bottom of your coffee cupJust see how much you’ll save at Starbucks 😄

I just got one of these for Christmas and like it so far! It's nice because it's airtight.

My SO worked at Seattle’s Best coffee in Borders before they closed (many years ago) and this is what he recommends for iced coffee.

I know its not something to make cold brew but this is amazing with a little bit of creamer and depending how much you drink usually lasts atleast a week! They also have different flavors.

I created my own Cold Brew maker. I bought a half gallon/2 quart/64oz. Rubbermaid pitcher, it is translucent white with a red lid that seals completely when the opening is turned away from the pour spout. I paid around $3 for it at Walmart. Then I special ordered “3 gallon sized” Bunn coffee filters from Walmart’s website. They are for commercial coffee makers. If I recall correctly, it was a box of 1500 + for less than $20. I fill one large filter full of about 20-24 tablespoons of ground coffee & tie it shut with a long twist tie. (I prefer very dark, bold coffees). Put that in the pitcher, top with cold water (filtered, if possible) to the top, & cover tightly with the lid. Put it in the fridge for 18-24 hours, occasionally give the pitcher a jiggle if I want. Then, once brewed, remove the filter, give it a very gentle squeeze, carefully remove the twist tie, to save for later, & throw away or compost the filter full of grounds. Extremely simple & easy to do!!! And I use a 1/4 cup scoop instead of a regular coffee grounds scoop or tablespoon to make measuring out the grounds quicker. It only takes a few minutes to set up or dispose. This system works excellent! And it’s very inexpensive, with really no mess or clean up, other than washing out the pitcher occasionally. I had previously tried many store bought brewers, coffee presses, & even mason jars that then needed filtered, or special filter bags. This is by far my favorite method! Plus, the Rubbermaid pitcher can always be used for other drinks down the road. And this pitcher fits perfectly on my fridge shelf or door, even better than all the others. I can even do two side by side on my top shelf; one regular & one decaf, for those days when I want some cold brew in the evenings or mornings. Each 64oz brew last me about a week of concentrate. ;)

Oops! Correction: I use 1.5 gallon Bunn commercial coffee filters, NOT 3 gallon. And the quantity was 500. This many would last me at least a year & a half or more, with regular drinking of cold brew. In my 64 oz pitchers. Basically using only 1-2 filters every 1-2 weeks. Here is an example:

Hey, former barista and coffee lover here. You don't need any fancy contraptions to make the perfect cold brew. You just need 2 pitch24w (or 1 pitcher for the coffee and a large pot). What I do is, coffee with grounds in a pitcher in fridge for 18-24 hours. I believe for a gallon I did 32-40 coffee portion scoops. Tbh I don't recall but in a rubbermaid gallon jug it is about 2ish inches of coffee grounds at the top. Make sure to stir at least 2 to 3 times to allow the coffee to be better penetrated by the water. Strain 2 times and you good. With the coffee sock, i recommend you rinse with water when you are done to prevent it developing a soapy taste.

A good old fashioned French press works great. That is how I make mine, and you can use it for hot coffee and tea as well.
