Pros
Pro Very cost efficient
This cold brew coffee maker uses a lot less coffee than others, allowing you to make more coffee concentrate with the same amount of ground coffee.
Pro Forgiving if your ratio is slightly off
Even if you don't follow the recipe perfectly, the resulting brew will still taste very good, giving you some freedom when brewing coffee.
Pro Saves some time
This cold brew coffee maker has a larger capacity than most others, allowing you to make more coffee concentrate for later use, which means you won't need to brew coffee as often.
Pro Has a grinder
With this machine, you'll not have to spend the extra money on buying a grinder since the brewer comes with an integrated grinder.
Pro Has a water filter
This coffee maker has a water filter that removes the impurities from the water.
Pro Programmable
Using the machine's timer, you can program it to brew coffee at the exact time you need it.
Cons
Con Uses uncommon paper filters
This cold brew coffee maker uses large paper filters. These can't be bought in stores and can only be ordered online, causing you to spend extra on shipping costs.
Con The filter needs care to prevent molding
You have to rinse the filter and store it in a water container inside the fridge. Other filters wouldn't require this amount of care.
Con You need to be careful when using it, so you don't knock it over
This coffee maker has a narrow carafe and is not as stable as some others, making it more likely to be knocked over and potentially spill your coffee concentrate.
Con Difficult to visually determine how much coffee is in the thermal carafe
The thermal carafe is not transparent and has no viewing window, making it difficult to visually determine how much coffee is left. Switching to a glass (or non-thermal) carafe isn't ideal because of the hot plate — it shuts off after the coffee is done brewing, so the coffee won't stay warm in non-thermal carafes.
