Perfect Cold Brew Maker
I picked this up specifically for making cold brew coffee, and it has been perfect. The 64 oz size is ideal for making a good batch that lasts several days, and the wide mouth makes adding grounds and cleaning afterward incredibly easy. The glass feels thick and sturdy, and the airtight lid seals well with no leaks in the fridge. I also love the handle, which makes pouring smooth and controlled without drips.Beyond function, it looks great sitting on the counter or in the fridge. The blush color and vintage style give it a charming look without feeling fragile or fussy. My cold brew comes out smooth and rich every time, and the jar keeps it tasting fresh.

Beautiful pitcher and works well, but it's not perfect
I've had this pitcher for a week or so and made two batches of cold brew, but have a few thoughts and opinions. This is made very differently than any of the cold brew pitchers I have used so far. The filter is one that has to be removed prior to pouring. The filter rests on the entire rim of the jar with nothing over the top so that grounds will be the first thing poured out if you attempt to use with the filter in. I usually leave mine in for the duration and the taste does get richer after a day or so. That means you pretty much have to let this one sit for a day or more before use or take the filter out to pour a cup.Cons:The flimsy silicone ring around the inside of the lid falls out repeatedly so I can imagine that will be lost the first time I don't notice that it has fallen. The lid is difficult to get tightened all the way around, especially when cold, which affects positioning of the handle and causes liquid to dribble out around the bottom of the lid while pouring. The pour spout is not airtight and will spill. There were no directions on use.Pros:The large mouth jar is easier to clean than most. The plastic handle is both comfortable and sturdy feeling. It can be filled with water while the filter is in there, eliminating guesswork of how much water the jar will hold before placing a filter down inside. It's a lovely jar that looks nice. The filter is good quality and worked nicely without a lot of particles ending up in my cup.Overall, I think I like the design, but the lid could definitely be improved upon with finding one that screws on better, opens and closes easier, and has a built in rubber or silicone gaskets around both the pour hole and rim. Putting a simple filter beneath the pour slot would make it where you can leave the whole filter basket inside until it's empty. If you're new to cold brew, I would suggest starting with a cup of coarsely ground beans and work from there. I add a heaping cup before the water and it's strong enough that I mix about half and half with milk for iced latte. It's a decent value at the current price point.

Leaks coffee everywhere
I love cold brew and was looking forward to trying this fully glass one with the stainless mesh filter, but unfortunately the design is terrible in actual use.The core issue is the lid and how despite the listing boasting a ‘leak-proof lid” it leaks alllll over the place. When the center coffee filter is installed it leaks minorly like a few drops at a time, BUT with coffee grounds in it, you can’t pour from the pitcher without grounds coming out into your cup because the pouring spout is over the filter. That makes it impossible to do quick taste tests during brewing, which defeats the convenience of having a pitcher-style setup in the first place.If you remove the filter (either because you don’t want grounds pouring out, or because you’ve taken it out to clean it), the lid becomes the weak point. As soon as you try to pour, liquid spills out from the seal and all over the counter. I would end up with as much on the counter as in my glass which was so annoying. No amount of tightening or repositioning fixed it. At that point, the only chance you have to pour cleanly is to remove the lid entirely. But then there is no handle so the heavier glass and girth of it makes for a very awkward two-handed pour.That’s what makes this so frustrating: the individual components aren’t bad. The mesh filter is actually very fine and well made to keep even my very finely ground coffee from ending up in the brew, and the glass itself feels thick and durable. Even the vintage look is nice if you’re into that (the pink tinted glass wasn’t really my taste, but that’s subjective).Overall this design feels untested and the lid is not good. A cold brew pitcher should let you pour cleanly with or without the filter in place, and this one doesn’t work well either way. Given that the listing highlights a “leak-proof” lid, this was a major letdown. The glass may be solid, but the lid design makes the pitcher impractical to use. I’m really disappointed.

Cold brew maker
Excellent product. I want to point out this is a 64oz container, it has a large capacity. The stainless steel grounds holder/ filter is lined with an inside and outside layer leading to great granule performance. I did drop the glass on the ground , and it did not shatter, the glass seems reifnorced and is thicker than other glass jars. Taste wise, i think my first and second batches did not dissapoint, i did notice alot less coffeee grounds than when I used a tea filter to do the same, so yeah i think this set is perfect for what it was designed for. The only qualm is that top is plsatic and has not spring hinge, so when you pour, it’s two handed, one on the handle and one on the cap.
