County Line Kitchen 64oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker with Leak Proof Lid - Gray

This is absolutely perfect to make cold brew. The quality of the container is great. It is actually glass unlike a lot of the other ones and it’s easy to clean. The brew capacity is also great coming in at 2 quarts.

This is a really nice system. I had previously used the Ronco system which is identical to the Toddy cold brew system but cheaper. County Line Kitchen Cold Brew system is twice as efficient in terms of clean up and has the added bonus that I no longer need to buy replacement stoppers or filters! The drain time is less than half what I was used to with the Toddy system and it's clean! Simply pull out the wire filter and you're done. I was concerned that the mesh was going to be too wide to adequately filter smaller particles leaving a gross residue at the bottom of my cold brew. This is not the case. I found that the taste of my cold brew is just as pleasant as it was with the Toddy system and brews a clear, pleasant tasting coffee. Also notable is the sturdy jar that this system comes with. I have also used the Hario Water Brew Coffee Pot, 1000ml, Brown system that is built similarly to this one. (My quest for the perfect cold brew system has been extensive!) The County Line Kitchen system is simply better built. Hands down. The filter is a higher quality mesh and the thickness and overall quality of the glass jar is simply built stronger and is better able to take bumps and repeated use. Also notable is the care with which this system is packed. Amazon does a nice job packing it with plastic air pocket fillers but the company itself sent the system in a carefully wrapped box that ensured safe and intact delivery. I appreciate that! I am so impressed with this system I may donate my other ones and buy a second one of these! As far as I'm concerned my quest for the perfect cold brew system is complete!

It's a great product. Simple well built easy to use. I've only used it twice. First I tasted the coffe at different times. four hours, 6, 8, 12, 24. To see the difference that made. I didn't like any of it. In fact I couldn't drink it and threw it all out. Not the coffee makers fault. I just don't like cold brew. It even makes me feel sick. I drink decaf for the flavor of it. I like a deep rich coffe flavor. I like a medium rroast sweet coffe bean espresso. Cold bew just doesn't taste anything like that. Itt has its own taste wich is very mild and smooth or flavorless depending on your attitude. But it does extract more caffeine from the beans even my decaf beans made coffee to caffeinated for me. It also extracted some other stuff from the beans my espresso maker doesn't having a totally different effect on that Ididn't like. I recommend trying cold brew before getting into making it yourself but my coffee shop doesn't have decaf cold brew so I had to buy this to see for myself. If you like cold brew this is a great way to go. Aside from changing the time of the brew you can pla around with adding paper filters inside the metal filter or filtering the the coffee after its downe but I didn't mind the slight sludge on the bottom of my coffee cup. So the machine is simple easy to use works well easy to clean. Great if you like cold brew buts a completely different type of coffee.

I love this coffee carafe! So easy to use and I am loving my iced coffee. The coffee shop has not seen me in a while. Fast shipping.

Great simple, economical process for brewing Cold Brew Coffee and Tea, the filter is very nice quality and is durable. The Ball Jar is "Ball" and not some cheap imitiation. Included lid with seal is a nice touch and does not leak, but takes some care in locking it down since the seal grips the filter and jar and adds some load against the threads. Not as easy vs. the regular Ball lids with bands which are a breeze to install. I initially had one of these and was using it to Cold Brew Coffee and Tea at diffferent times, due to demand and not wanting to cross or contaminate the flavor, I recently picked up another and will use one for Tea and the other for Coffee. Even with a coarse grind, I still noticed trapped grinds stuck in the filter, could not get them out perhaps if placed in the dishwasher but I have not tried this method yet? I still get some sediment which I read is common with this method, no big deal as it stay's on the bottom of the jar when pouring. The directions are straight forward but I still cannot match the flavor of Peet's Baridi Cold Brew which is bold and smooth, which I like. Peet's sells the Baridi Blend Beans specially for Cold Brewing, will give that a try to see if I can match the bottled version. For tea, I use 4 to 5 tablespoons of loose leaf tea and brew in the fridge per the directions, get great results and bought additional Ball jars or various sizes to store up a week's worth of cold brew tea and/or coffee for a week. I looked into Cold Brew due to my sometimes sensitive stomach, gastritis issues that pop up occasionally when I drink too much of that highly acidic coffee at work and reading how the reduction in acid % of cold brew, lookedl like a win win for me and so far it has helped. Looked at some of the drip systems and other higher cost Cold Brew methods, but after some research I narrowed it down to a simple filter mesh in a ball jar and this was it.

Does it make great cold brew coffee? Absolutely and a lot. I can easily get two days worth of cold brew coffee. This device is advertised as leak proof; however, it is not. I filled the carafe half full of soapy water and shook the carafe. The soapy water did leak from inside. Perhaps it wouldn’t leak if I didn’t shake the contents. The lid and handle are one piece. When the carafe is full it weighs more than 4.2 pounds. I’m not certain if the handle is strong enough to support that much weight especially if the handle becomes cracked. I intend to look for a metal lid to fit the Mason jar should the lid/handle breaks. Alternatively, I would consider replacing the lid/handle. The mason jar can become very slick when wet when washing. I suspect I will be needing to purchase some nitrile gloves or similar to maintain a good grip when washing the Mason jar. It seems the stainless steel filter is well made. Replacement parts are readily available for the filter, Mason jar, and handle.

I tried my first cup of cold brew iced coffee about 4 years ago (in Seattle, no less!) and was very impressed with the smooth, flavorful coffee. At that time my coffee drinks were always overloaded with sweetners and milk, all to camouflage the acidic and "bitter" coffee it was paired with. Well cold brew coffee eliminates the need for all that! When I got home I researched the cold brew process and found so many complicated and convoluted methods that I was immediately intimidated from trying it. Fast forward to this year, when all the trendy coffee shops (including some major corporate coffee retailers) have finally jumped on the bandwagon of cold brew iced coffee. I was elated--I tried "their" cold brew and it's not bad. Not the same smooth, acid-free, flavorful coffee I had those 4 years ago, but it would do. I decided to try and make my own cold brew again, which led me here. Since becoming so popular, there are now several cold brew systems on the market! I decided to try this one, because of the simplicity and straightforward design. I've just poured my first batch of cold brew from this system, and I couldn't be happier! Not only is it easy to use, but the result is great! I did everything according to the directions, and besides my own clumsiness (spilled coffee grounds as I poured them into the filter) everything came out according to plan. Like other reviewers stated, I did find a thick coffee sediment at the bottom of the jar, however, it didn't make its way to the pitcher I transferred the coffee to when it was finished steeping. Here is how I finished off the process: Once the coffee was ready (I steeped it for 24 hours at room temperature, then put it in the fridge when I went to bed so it would be cold in the morning) I placed the mason jar in the sink and gently unscrewed the lid. Then I slowly lifted the metal filter out of the jar and held it over the opening while some last bits of coffee dropped from the filter. I gave it a few taps on the rim of the jar to help it along. Once the dripping stopped, I pulled the jar out of the sink, and proceeded to rinse out the filter by turning it upside down and running the tap over the filter, allowing the coffee grounds to go down the drain. It could not have been easier! There was no mess, and the filter came clean very easily. I then transferred the coffee from the mason jar to a tall 64 oz pitcher. I gently and slowly poured the coffee from the jar to the pitcher and when it got to the end, the brown sediment was left behind at the bottom of the mason jar, which I promptly rinsed out and prepped for another batch of cold brew! Thank you!!!

Perfect, easy way to make cold brew at home! I have two jars to keep a steady supply of cold brew in the fridge in my busy household. About 10 generous scoops of coarse ground coffee (and about 12 hours in the fridge) will yield a pitcher of cold brew that is ready to use without diluting. Saves us a ton of money. And yes, I have used the more complicated methods/machines. This one is easier and far less fussy.

Excellent item, I use this for cold brew and swap out the stainless steel lid for the lid with a handle (purchased separately) when it's ready to be served up.

If you aren't in a rush for a cold brew, this is an excellent option. I usually give it 48 hours before the coffee is strong enough. Extra large well made glass container. I like that the lid has a sturdy handle. If I had one complaint it would be that the flip top on the lid doesn't snap shut to prevent spills.

Bought this for work, very happy with it. Filter mesh is top quality, everything is easy to clean as well. Make sure you get a coarse ground coffee to work the best. I have since bought another for home.

Very easy to use, good quality materials like thick glass and a tight seal. I stored it on its side in the fridge to test the seal for camping and it held up. Makes delicious cold brew. Make sure to use coarse grind or you may end up with some very very fine coffee grounds in your coffee. I find 24 hrs makes the perfect brew. I would buy again.

We've been using this for cold brew for a few weeks now. Really easy to use and clean. Simple to assemble and take apart. Choice of beans greatly changes the taste and required brew time, but we've found it super easy to adapt each time. Great value for money, definitely recommend.
