Customer Reviews

Easy Cold Brew I looked through a number of Cold Brew device reviews and this one kept popping up.An advantage of this to the others* is that it didn't require a specific, proprietary filter pad. The screen filter provided with the Oxo should last for years (I hope). You can reduce residue further with a paper filter (included). I tried it and it can clog resulting in a very slow and possibly low quantity of the filtrate (brew). I now use the advice of another reviewer and filter with the metal screen only at first, empty the coffee grinds, and re-filter the brew in the empty bowl with the paper filter installed below the metal screen. Worked perfectly. It is not a required step, the initial filtrate seemed good enough to me. BTW, you can cut paper filters from your drip coffee maker if need be.Other than the 2nd pass for fine filtering sediment, another trick that worked well is a 2nd round of brew, also suggested from another reviewer. The recommended 5 cups of water returns approximately 3.5 cups after 24 hr brewing period (1st pass). I then added another 2 cups of water for an additional 24 hrs (2nd pass) and ended up with about 5 cups total. The 2nd pass did not seem bitter. I think that cold brew may not extract as much coffee as a hot brew, even with the extended time utilized. I'm not sure you would even consider a 2nd pass is you originally filtered with the paper filter installed.As others have mentioned the glass beaker could be thicker and grippier. I collect the brew in the beaker but store it in an old mason jar in the fridge. The beaker feels a bit slippery from condensation if you use it from the fridge. I wrapped a couple of rubber bands around the neck as a precaution, even though I brew at room temperature and the beaker is not slippery, it is still a little awkward.Finally, the dreaded 'leak' issue. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN! The O-ring is pretty flimsy and seems it can roll if pressed. It's better to under-tighter and if a leak occurs tighten a little more. If you over-tighten it will be a mess because you'll probably have to take it apart. In a review by Alloy Recon, he mentioned using a sturdier O-ring: "#142 Silicone O-Ring, 70A Durometer, Red, 2-3/8" ID, 2-9/16" OD, 3/32" Width" . Amazon was out, but did have this one: 2 3/8'' Diameter -142 Water and Steam-Resistant O-Rings (25 EA per Pack). Much sturdier O-ring! FWIW, I'm on my 4th brew and still using the original O-ring. The suggested replacement is thicker and causes the filter screen to be looser as well. Not sure if this will let through extra sediment or not as I haven't tried the additional O-rings yet for a brew. If so, the paper filter step should clean it up.OK, as for taste, I have not sampled different devices to compare, but there are reviews where they did. The reviews claimed this to be the most flavorful brew. Possibly as the screen does not filter as much as the filter pads would that are used in some of the other popular devices. Still a very smooth brew. Although this is the most expensive of the devices I was considering, and the additional O-rings are a good insurance policy but added to that price, the other devices required proprietary filters adding to long term cost, if they are even still available over time. I'm very happy with this purchase.Good luck!*The devices I was considering all produced a condensed brew of 32+ ounces that gets diluted when used. I narrowed these down to the Oxo, Toddy and Filtron Cold Brewers. This 'concentrate' was generally not the case for the devices that were simply a jar with a fitted screen tube/insert. 5I am in LOVE with cold brewed coffee! Great machine! Wow! This is my first experience with cold brewing and I am pretty much thrilled!I love coffee, however, though I have my likes/dislikes and I know a lousy cup when I taste it - I am not a coffee snob. So if you are, ignore me! If you aren't then read on! :-)My boyfriend and I had made a pot of coffee every day or so for years. Since we mostly prefer cold coffee - except on those rare nippy SW cold days - we had been brewing it and pouring it into a pitcher that we cooled and then chilled in the fridge. Our old Cuisinart coffeemaker has a mesh reusable filter and it finally came apart at the seams by the plastic at the bottom, and would blow coffee out into basket. When I went to look for a new filter (which I did find, btw) I was poking around looking at coffeemakers in general. It ended up leading me to Cold Brewing, which I started to read about in greater detail. When I discovered that cold brewed coffee was less acidic, I was sold. I love my coffee but both my boyfriend and I can get terribly acidy tummies from time to time. Myself, especially when I am stressed at work or something.So, I poked around Amazon looking at cold brew systems - reading reviews, checking prices, looking at what you had to buy to use them and keep them up each day. I ended up settling on this unit because of the reviews, the no-need for a paper filter (more on this later) and the price! I happened to get a unit from Amazon Warehouse Deals. I love them, because 9 times out of 10 I get something for a FANTASTIC deal and there is maybe a scratch on it or the box was torn up at most. I've returned a couple things that somehow got through Amazon QC, but that's fine. It was an easy process. That said I got this guy for another ~25% off, and it was a great way to start - especially when compared to the cost of a new mechanical, traditional drip coffeemaker!The past few weeks I've been playing with it. And here is what I've got so far, especially for other cold brew newbies like me:Prep Work:- You will need to get a coffee grinder or have ready access to fresh ground COARSE ground coffee. Your regular drip ground coffee won't drain well and will cling to too much of your concentrate when it's done brewing. I got this one and it works great! I will be reviewing it soon: KitchenAid BCG111ES Blade Coffee Grinder - Espresso-You probably want to use filtered water if you don't already. This is going to sit in water for 12-24 hours, rather than just burst through in a flash like your drip maker does. I use a common Brita.- Be prepared! Make this ahead of time! It does take 12-24 hours to brew. I have done 18 - 24 hours and that range works great for my tastes. I love the stronger flavor, personally.- Consider getting another "carafe". I brew my coffee, then drain into the provided carafe because it fits the whole system properly, but the glass - however sturdy they claim it to be - feels too thin for my liking and we have too many klutzes in our house. I put mine in a thick glass pitcher for the fridge. I happen to think that for an OXO product this should have: a rubberized grippy bottom and a rubber grip at the neck (in OXO grippy black of course!). Why this isn't the case is beyond me but maybe they can update in a future model. I would buy that separate if they made it.Time to make coffee! Here is how I've begun to do it:- Grind your coffee! Yum, this is fun especially if you've never done it before. It smells amazing! and the coffee made with it is pretty amazing, too! Make sure you grind it very coarsely. I have a method I use with the suggested Kitchenaid grinder I cited above and I will share that in that product's review.- Remove the rain shield.- Put about 3.5 cups of coarse coffee (to taste - you may like more or less!) into the reservoir. If you just ground it, let it sit for a few minutes before you add water.- Double check the switch in the middle of the unit is UP. But to be safe I leave the carafe under the unit while brewing.- Replace the rain shield (or the sieve like lid, whatever you want to call it)- Add 5 cups (again, to taste) of filtered water, let it sit a moment, then stir the mixture thoroughly.- Wait 18-24 hours.- Replace carafe if you didn't leave it under while brewing as I do, and flip the switch down.- Wait 10-30 minutes (may be more or less depending on your grind coarseness) for the brew to drain. Maybe gently wiggle the unit a little to assure it all drains out.- Remove reservoir - covering bottom so you don't drip concentrate on the way to the sink - and do what you do with grounds. We save ours for the roses! :-)- I immediately rinse and wash everything - by hand - and set to dry.- Pour about 2oz of the concentrate in your favorite glass, add your cream and/or sugar to taste if desired, fill remaining part of glass with ice, water, milk (again, as desired), stir and enjoy the smoothest iced coffee you've ever had!Side thoughts and suggestions:If you see my attached picture (it's not much to look at that isn't already shown in the product page but) you can see I keep mine on a small dish towel. This is actually a pretty stiff towel, as it is backed in a plastic mesh for scrubbing dishes, so I use it to slide the unit under the cabinets while brewing or storing, and out when I am making or harvesting a batch of coffee.The lid for the carafe - I used it once. Since I don't use the carafe in the fridge, I don't need to lid the coffee in the carafe with the lid. I first used it once for measuring as suggested, but now I can easily eyeball how much concentrate is enough for me, as can my boyfriend. I will keep this, but it's more of "just in case", as I find the carafe a semi poor design for storing the concentrate, and I don't need it for measurement purposes.Paper filters - it comes with them. I've used them a couple times, and I find it just makes the brew drain too slowly. I didn't find that there was much sediment in the coffee, so I don't find them useful or necessary. This is also subjective, and perhaps objective depending on your grounds, so you may prefer the extra filter for your brew, and find it worth purchasing in the future.Bottom line: I am in love with this thing! It's a bit more of a process and a wait than my old drip machine, but the brewed concentrate is so much smoother on the tongue and easier on the tummy. It's also made coffee making an enjoyable event. I've spent time hunting for different whole beans, smelling them, grinding them... I also suspect I will continue to play with types of coffee, how I grind it, ratios, etc. It is actually a bit FUN. And the coffee made in the process is fantastic. At this price, whether or not you get a discount for an Amazon Warehouse purchase, I think it's a bargain. And that is even counting the cost of the little coffee grinder I picked up.If you have questions or suggestions, please leave a comment! Thanks and hope this review helps! :-)UPDATE 12/29/2016: Nothing in particular to say except that it has been about half a year since I got this machine. It still works great, nothing is broken or wonky and it was a bargain for how much it gets used and the yummy smooth coffee it makes. Still the only thing I dislike is the carafe. Oxo - Make the neck more indented and/or covered in your Oxo rubber-grippy stuff! And the bottom, too! I would never put this thing in my fridge. It would get smashed to bits.UPDATE 03/23/2018: Time flies - and I am due for an update. It's pretty simple - It still works great. Looks almost new. Nothing broken or worn out. This was a great deal and barring dropping it I suspect it will be worry free for years to come. It also rocks cause it doesn't use power which means there is no electrical component to go on any sort of "fritz". It also makes it low impact and maybe even something you could take camping (surely without the awful carafe!) or use in a tiny home, etc. I am pleased with this item and very glad I got it some years ago. Good luck to you, too! :-) 5bottom o-ring seal leaks and makes a mess. o-ring ... bottom o-ring seal leaks and makes a mess. o-ring or plastic sealing surface defective or incorrect o-ring compression.

Love. I've tried a number of cold brewers (Breuer, Toddy, Takeya) and this one comes out the best.Pros> Easy to setup - four parts: filter, valve, vessel and rainmaker. Screw together, add coffee, water and go. - Done> Easy to clean - ditto. It takes less than 5 mins to clean and put away> Good design - no mess, easy to add coffee and easy to pour out the coffee> Great customer service - my carafe broke and they expressed me a new oneCons> Instructions could be a little bit better (see below and OXO - add this to your instructions!)Advice - this is important to getting the best performance and yield from this cold brewer. 1. A medium coarse to coarse grind is best. I found that slightly oily beans worked better with a medium coarse and drier beans worked better with coarse. 2. Put all the grounds in, then use the rainmaker to pour in the water all at once. Let the coffee bloom for around 15 minutes. I didn't find any benefit to adding grounds then water in batches. 3. Once at bloom, **gently** fold over the bloom back into the water. **RESIST** the urge to stir the water-coffee mixture - this will break up the grounds and cause fines to clog the filter. 4. Expect 20 oz of concentrate to each 40 oz of water. I've experimented with grind and this is the best that I've been able to achieve.Overall a great product! 5Amazing Coffee and Even Better Customer Service I would have given this brewer 5 stars based on the ease of use and amazing coffee I am getting from it. The real reason I am reviewing this brewer is OXO's incredible customer service. Two weeks into ownership I dropped and shattered the carafe that is included with it. I emailed OXO inquiring about purchasing a replacement... Seven days later a FREE replacement was at my doorstep! Was an incredible surprise and I am now a customer for life. Thank you again. 5I've purchased other OXO products and they were very good. In short, it leaks. Purchased one of these for my husband for Christmas. First time we used it there was a slow leak. We thought maybe we didn't tighten it enough or put it together incorrectly. Tried again and it leaked all over the place... again. After close inspection I noticed the plastic near the seal had tiny chips and bubbles in it. Sent it back and got a replacement. Replacement leaks. Same problem the first one had... poorly made with enough flaws in the plastic to cause coffee to leak out. Someone said to just place the carafe under it to catch the leak, but that defeats the point. The coffee doesn't get to brew for 12 to 24 hours if it has leaked out in 3 or 4. Sending this one back and trying another brand. It's a shame, really... I've purchased other OXO products and they were very good. 1Some tips and tricks - and a few problems First, let me say that I was a confirmed Starbucks double-shot of espresso poured over ice person before this, and that got stupidly expensive. My fallback was New Orleans Coffee Co., which is very concentrated, but since I mix caf and decaf, I had to order on line, which got very expensive.Since I've gotten the Oxo, those are non-issues. The coffee is better than either of the above, much smoother and "friendlier". Making it ahead of time is not a problem, and once you've put the grounds and water in, you can't really say it's time consuming.I'm giving it four stars because although it looks lovely, the carafe does feel very fragile, and the neck of the carafe is badly thought out (see below). Additionally, the filter definitely needs work.There are quite a few "tips and tricks" to this, and I strongly suggest anyone considering buying one read through a lot of the reviews here. My own observations:1. You must use coarse ground coffee. It's an absolute must. Believe me, I've tried using mixed coarse//medium and it didn't work out well.2. Be very careful about stirring the grounds with the mesh metal filter in. It's not at all sturdy. Oxo should fix this, if they're listening.3. Yes, you only get 24 ounces of coffee out of it if you follow directions. However, it's extremely concentrated, which to me makes up for the amount of coffee you have to use to get this amount.4. The paper filter is a good thing, though it does slow the process. (Remember, coarse ground only!) You can re-use them several times if you rinse well and let dry. (My assumption, like that of another reviewer here, is that the paper filters were an afterthought to make up for problems with the mesh filter. Again, the mesh filter could use some work.)5. The neck of the carafe, where you would normally hold it when you lift the carafe to pour, or take it out of the refrigerator, is VERY wide. Too wide for many hands to grip. Another reviewer had a brilliant suggestion, which I'm using to good effect - I wrapped two rubber bands around the neck. Simple and solves the problem.6. The lid of the carafe REALLY needs something to distinguish it from the rest of the carafe. Twice now, people in my household have pulled the carafe out of the fridge and, because the lid blends in with the carafe so well, thought there was NO lid on it. Coffee everywhere, you can just imagine the mess. I've put a bright yellow rubber band around the lid, but realistically, it should either be a different color or have OXO and some other markings on it above a line, so you wouldn't make that mistake.7. I find the "rainmaker" pretty useless, and think this is also an afterthought when Oxo discovered people were pouring the water straight onto the grounds from one spot only, instead of spreading it out as they poured. If you use the rainmaker, it leaves a huge hole in the middle where the coffee grounds have bubbled up (they tell you in the booklet that's a natural something-or-other, but it's really not. Only when you use this.) What I do is pour my water in slowly, moving the carafe all around the grounds, then stir them lightly several times to make sure they're all coated.8. It would be very nice if this came with a spare mesh metal filter.9. I did try pouring more water on the grounds after I'd dripped through the first batch, to get a bit more coffee out of them. I have to say that it diluted the coffee too much, and I wound up using more coffee per glass. I think it evens out because of that, and I'd stick with the smaller amount of water and accept the 24 ounces.10. I've also been freezing bottles of the coffee, and let me tell you, unless you're a complete iced coffee afficionado, that works great. It actually mellows the flavor even more while retaining the taste. Just be sure to defrost completely, and don't let it hit room temperature because the oils start tasting weird.In short, very happy with this purchase, and would buy another. Especially after the good remarks about Oxo's customer service.Editing after 6 month's use: Although I'm doing everything exactly the same way, two coffee-makings ago the darned thing started dripping while it was closed, lever up. I've written to Oxo and asked what to do. They didn't respond, so I called, and much to my surprise they were terrific. The woman I spoke with said she'd encountered this before, and immediately sent a replacement.* Added bonus - I mentioned the flipper (to open the filter and let the coffee water out) was stick and she told me to pull it towards me while moving up or down. Why the directions don't mention this is beyond me, because it solved the entire issue. 4Tips and Tricks learned over a year's time of ownership I have now had my OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker for a year now. It makes the BEST coffee I have had - have tried different setups for making cold brew and this by far the easiest way to do so. A few tips and tricks I have found that makes it easier for me are as follows:1. ALWAYS use the coarsest grind coffee you can get - the best I have found is any local coffee shop that sells their beans by the lb will grind them for you (bonus tip- .625 lbs is approximately the 10 ounces the directions call for)2. I always put the coffee grounds and 2 cups water in,stir with a wooden spoon handle, let set for 10 minutes, then add the rest of the water (4 more cups) give one last gentle stir to make everything is saturated, then let sit on the counter undisturbed for a MINIMUM of 20 hours, then drain into the beaker - I just let it sit for about 45 minutes - only had 1 time that it didn't drain properly - (refer back to #1)3. Once drained, I transfer the concentrate into 3 or 4 glass water bottles that I have specifically saved for this purpose. That way I can take a bottle with me to have at work and have some for home use as well. I notice a lot of people saying the carafe is fragile and hard to handle so that is how I have gotten around that situation - I think you could use a 750ml wine or liquor bottle just as easilyI hope this proves to be useful for someone out there! 4After 10 years of using a Toddy, this one is way better. I have used a Toddy for about 10 years, so almost all of my review is in comparison to it. A few weeks ago, my 2nd oldest son used a knife to remove the filter while doing dishes ruining it (just like my oldest son did about 5 years ago with my first one). I saw this brewer and thought I would get it to compare. Overall, I like this one way better.If you are new to cold brewing and trying to decide whether to try it, I will say that it makes the best coffee, in my opinion. It brings out a lot of flavor, without the bitterness. The biggest con to cold brew in general, is when you forget to make it...Things that are better on this vs the Toddy:This one has a valve instead of a cork to drain the coffee, which is not only easier in general; but, I usually get the first cup early in the morning, and then let it brew a few more hours for my wife to drain when she gets up. With the Toddy, I have to pull the cork, get what I want, then reinsert the cork, leaving a few ounces on the counter and my scale to clean up. This one, I can just close the valve, with no mess. Another benefit is that there is no separate cork to be lost.I like the mesh filter better than the felt ones of the Toddy, and I like how it is held in place, so my kids cannot loose it when they dump the grinds into the compost. It also never needs replaced. We are using the paper filters which are as good as the felt one of the Toddy at keeping the grit out.I like the stand this one has better than balancing the brewer on the carafe to drain it.The directions for this one are way easier. You could really make the coffee either way, with either maker. While this one's directions are easier, the Toddy's method drains quicker.Things that are not as good:This does not make as much as the Toddy does at a time. Following the directions, we get 24 oz of concentrate (10 oz coffee grinds and 40 oz water). But, there is a lot of head space in this one to increase the amount you make if you do not use the rainmaker. As long as you stick with the 1 ounce coffee grinds to 4 ounce water, you can make more or less. With my last batch I did 12 oz of coffee grinds with 48 oz water; which is what the current directions with the Toddy calls for (28 oz of concentrate); but believe I could do 14 oz of coffee and 56 oz of water if I fill it to the brim (33 oz concentrate). With the Toddy, we followed the old directions and used 16 oz of coffee grinds and 64 oz water (38 oz concentrate). In conclusion, the Toddy can make 2 1/2 more servings than this one can. I doubt anyone will find this math as interesting as I do, but though I should include it for completeness.This brewer drains slower, but I am pretty sure it is due to stiring the coffee/water mixture, per the directions. When I stired the mixture in the Toddy it took longer to drain also. So, I guess regardless of which brewer you use, if you want quick draining, use Toddy's method; and if you want fewer steps in making it, use this one's method. I can live with the longer draining, because we have always just leave it sitting on the counter for a few hours until we remember it is there anyway.The paper filter has to be replaced with each brew versus the felt filter of the Toddy's needing replaced every... however long it lasts. I do not know which would be cheaper in the long run, but the paper filter is optional. I have been using the paper filters, but will try my next batch without it, to see how much of a difference it makes.If I think of anything else I will update this. 5Leaks Some people are receiving products that work, I'm certain. But there's a quality control issue and units are being shipped that leak. (I'm not the only one that has experienced this. If you buy this, save the packaging and test it out immediately to determine if you got a dud. The photograph provided shows how much coffee leaks after several hours. I dump the coffee back in to brewing container about 3 times per brew... it's not the kind of hassle I signed on for. I've tested it multiple times and it has leaked every time. As far as I can tell, there's nothing particularly special about this product. You let coffee soak in a plastic container and then drain out the coffee into the beaker. You aren't paying for anything particularly convenient or innovative. So I wouldn't get too excited just because this was reviewed well on a popular site... 1
