This cold brew coffee maker is cheaper than most other options, giving you an affordable and simple way to try out home-brewed cold brew coffee.
Pro Quite durable
The Takeya Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker isn't as fragile as most others. It's sturdily built using thick plastic parts, allowing it to survive moderate impacts and falls from the counter.
Pro Simple to store
The design is very compact and the carafe is narrow, allowing it to fit in most fridge compartments. This makes it easy to keep your coffee fresh.
Cons
Con Easy to mess up while brewing
This cold brew coffee maker has no measurement markings, so it can be tricky to get the proportions right. If you use too much water and too little coffee, the brew will be too weak. If you have too much coffee and too little water, some of the coffee will get wasted because no water will reach it.
Con You have to use coarse coffee
Any coffee grounds that are not coarse enough will get through the filter and end up in the coffee concentrate, potentially ruining the batch.
