I got this on a sale so it was about 17$ when I got it. I was a *bucks addict and my pocket book didn’t agree haha. So I knew I needed to get something that worked for me and I found cold brew. I was drinking bottled cold brew and that was also really expensive so here I decided to get one of these and make my own! I didn’t want to spend much in case I hated it, but absolutely hands down is the best purchase I’ve made. I’ve been using it non stop (literally it’s only been empty for cleaning) for the past month now and it’s perfect. It’s easy to use, it’s super aesthetically pleasing, makes a perfectly delicious coffee every time, and it’s only 3 parts to clean (minus the silicone gaskets which is 2 more parts). I don’t use a dishwasher because I’m a bit old fashioned, but it’s super easy to wash. They give a little cleaning brush with it, but I personally dislike it. It leaves a soapy residue on the inside of my jar so I’m sure that’s happening inside the stainless steel bit too, so I bought a different one. It’s a heavy duty jar also, I have tapped it against the sink and the inside of the fridge a few times and nothing happened. I wouldn’t recommend being too rough with it though, its essentially the same glass a beaker (if you’ve ever used one) so while it can take some wear and tear, it will break if you’re too rough with it.If you were skeptical about it because of the lower price point, don’t be! It’s amazing. Buy it and enjoy!
