Takeya Cold Brew Maker
I brewed cold coffee for years with one of the larger units. Loved the coffee from it. Would brew 2 liters of coffee concentrate overnight. I would get 6 liters of rich coffee from it and would brew basically once a week. Downsizing had me looking for a smaller unit to brew with. I chose this one because it looked like one of the best of the smaller options and had two pitchers for brewing and storage.
It works as advertised, for the most part. Obviously, the quantity is less than I was used to because of the physical size but also the cold brew concentrate is less concentrated than I care for. I’m only getting a 2:1 dilution for the finished product instead of the 3:1 or 4:1 ratio I prefer. This leads to a constant, everyday brew cycle. Not optimal, at least for me. I believe the difference is because the grounds are too contained in the strainer basket with less “interaction” with the water during the brew cycle.
Haven’t attempted it yet but I believe this will do a fantastic job on brewing tea. Can I say it leaves me a little cold on its coffee brewing for my taste?
