Primula Burke Cold Brew Maker

I am so happy I found this cold brew carafe! My coffee odyssey has been a dramatic one, truly. I started drinking Starbucks Cold Brew last summer and thought I'd be ready to switch back to hot coffee once it got cold outside but I've been drinking cold coffee throughout the winter. I have a hard water problem which has made it difficult to make a good hot cup of coffee at home. I filter water but I like to keep that for my water drinking, so I got hooked on the cold brew. But it's expensive. Meaning paying $6 or $7 for 40 oz of coffee stopped being cost efficient. Can I make my own cold brew at home? I found this pitcher when I started to do research and gave it a go. Oh my God! I love it! I can make a $10 bag of coffee go way further than I ever can from the cold brew I get from the store. This pitcher is easy to use and gives me just what I need for the weekend. See, I drink hot coffee in the office; I only drink cold coffee when I'm working from home one or two days a week and on Saturday and Sunday. This pitcher gives me just enough. I followed the instructions in the booklet that comes with the maker, get it ready late Friday afternoon and by Saturday morning, I have some really good cold brew coffee! The $10 bag of coffee I buy nets me 3 pitchers of coffee which is so cost effective! And the coffee tastes amazing! For my first carafe of cold coffee, I got the Vanilla/Lavender Starbucks coffee. Flavored coffee is always tricky because you have to go light when you make it to make the most of the flavor, but I followed the instructions - 16 tablespoons of coffee and it still came out pretty good! I'm excited to try different coffees but it's been really nice to get more coffee for the money I'm spending this way, rather than spending upwards of $7.00 for the cold brew in the store! This is definitely a good pitcher/carafe to start with. I've been very happy and have been looking forward to my weekend coffee fix!

I have gone through several cold brewers from the cheap to the fancy Japanese imported ones. The Primula Burke Deluxe checks off a lot of boxes the others ones don’t. The biggest issue I’ve had with others brewers were the size vs how to hold them. The large heavy glass ones have a small screw-on handle that ergonomically can be a nightmare to hold if you have weak wrists. This one has a nice, easy to hold handle that distributes the weight evenly. You won’t drop it! The plastic sheath around it is non-slip so it won’t slide off your counter. If you’re a huge klutz like me, this is important. All of the pieces snap in beautifully. The filter can be fully disassembled to be cleaned. I’ve had no coffee grounds in my coffee as the filter locks in so you can pour water in and there’s no mess! Overall, this brewer is ergonomic and easy to use. It’s far superior to others I’ve used and you can’t beat the price!

I don’t get the negative reviews - I LOVE this for making cold brew coffee. My tips: 1. If it is taking you FOREVER to get the water to initially seep through the coffee into the pot, then you are most likely using coffee grounds that are TOO FINE for cold brew! You want to use a COURSE GROUND coffee! I really like the Bizzy Cold Brew Smooth and Sweet coffee. Don’t be misled by its name - it has NO sweetener added to it - the name just refers to the coffee’s flavor profile… 2. Even though this pot says that its parts are dishwasher-safe - HAND WASH everything. All parts wash quickly with warm water and a little dawn dish soap! 3. To make the coffee, I put the grounds into the filter area in the pot, add room temperature water, put the lid on and let it sit on the counter for about 5-6 hours. I take a table knife from my silverware drawer and stir the grounds around (within their filter area) a couple times during this initial 5-6 hour soak. Then, put the pot into the frig and let it soak there overnight. After about 8-9 hours in the frig I take it out, stir the grounds around again with the table knife (within the filter area), let it sit for a few minutes and then lift up the filter. Hold the filter over the coffee, tilting it a little to let as much liquid as possible drip out from the filter into the coffee. I think I tilt the filter and balance it against the pot over the coffee to let it drip that way for about 5 minutes…. Then take the filter all the way out. I dump the grounds onto a plastic tray and let them dry out - then give them to a gardener!. 4. As soon as you have dumped the grounds out of the filter, unscrew the bottom cap and rinse out the filter! Then rub a couple drops (you don’t need much) of dawn blue dish liquid between your thumb and index finger and then use those fingers to rub the soap all around on the filter - inside and out. This takes only a minute or two and gets it totally clean! Rinse well and let it dry…. It gets totally clean this way with no staining!. 5. I immediately transfer the coffee out of this pot into a borosilicate glass pitcher for storing in the frig. Then, HAND WASH this blue pot, with just a couple drops of dawn dish detergent. It only takes another minute to wash, rinse and invert to dry. Easy, totally clean and ready for the next use when the coffee starts to run low.

Works pretty well. Easy to use and clean. Nice size but doesn't make it strong enough for me despite trying several different coffees - of course I realize that is personal preference. Love it for making flavored waters and want to try making some sun tea.

I received this product within time allotted in ad. No problem with the charge. It was packed very well and my cold brew pot was received intact and undamaged. This cold pot holds six cups of water as listed . I usually put two tablespoons of coffee in per cup of water and the coffee ground container holds that well. I thought the taste of the coffee was pretty good between 12 and 24 hours of brew time. The pot is so easy to clean I have it done in about 3 minutes. I love love my cold brew pot. It makes my day fast easy and mess free. Thank you so much. This product is very good quality very good value five star thank you

I've had this product for just under 3 years before the mesh lining on the filter started coming loose. I did put it through the dishwasher so that may have affected the adhesive. I will hand wash from now on. I ordered another one because the replacement filter didn't seem worth the price if I could get a new glass jar. No other issues. I like the design of the lid and how it seals. It works well at making cold brew although I find that stirring the grounds halfway through the seep time produced a stronger taste.

After a month of using the Primula Burke Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker, I'm delighted to share my positive experience with this convenient and affordable device. Not only does it produce delicious cold brew with ease, but it also helps me save money by reducing my trips to coffee shops. One of the standout features of this coffee maker is its simplicity and ease of use. The Comfort Grip Handle and Durable Glass Carafe make handling and pouring a breeze, while the Removable Mesh Filter ensures smooth and sediment-free cold brew every time. Plus, the dishwasher-safe design makes cleanup a snap, adding to its convenience. In terms of affordability and quality, the Primula Burke Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker excels. It offers great value for its price point, allowing me to enjoy cafe-quality cold brew at home without breaking the bank. The durable glass carafe and sturdy construction give me confidence in its longevity. However, one improvement I would suggest is the inclusion of a measuring device or starter guide for coffee grounds. While it's easy to experiment with different ratios, having a guideline would be helpful for achieving the perfect brew consistency. Even a simple starter guide on cold brew techniques would enhance the user experience for those new to the process. Overall, the Primula Burke Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker is a fantastic investment for coffee lovers who enjoy the refreshing taste of cold brew. Its ease of use, affordability, and quality construction make it a must-have addition to any kitchen. With a few minor enhancements, it could become even more user-friendly and appealing to a wider audience.

Cons: The lid doesn't stay on well so when pouring it falls off. Instructions are not very clear, just says how much it can hold. There's some kind of I assume coffee sludge when you get to the last of the coffee that you don't want in your drink. Have this issue no matter what kind of coffee I brew or how little ground coffee I put in and fill up. Pros: it's easy to use and super easy to clean. Emptying the grounds is easier than most just dump and shake and unscrew the bottom and shake again then rinse.

Does exactly what it says it does. Very sturdy and in good shape. Would definitely order another one

The size of this coffee/tea maker is ideal as it fits nicely into my fridge. Its broad base also ensures that it is not easily toppled over. It is also rather easy to clean the mesh filter. Overall, an excellent product!

I just bought my 2nd (mint color). I decided to get back into it to save on expensive trips to Starbucks. I am super satisfied! It's cute, super well made and it's easy to make cold brew coffee with it. I suggest getting two if you're a cold brew fan, as it empties quickly. You also have to take into account that once done, when you remove the middle part that infuses the coffee, the level of the coffee goes down, so freshly made, there is already about a cup less. In my photo, the multicolor (bought years ago, I don't think this color is still available) is the one that is infusing and the mint is the one that is ready to drink. You just use a frother, in another container, with your barista oat milk (milk or cream of your choice), vanilla and cinamon (if you want : sirup of your choice in this foam preparation or/and in the coffee tumbler) and pour the prepartion on the top. I assure you that it's just as tasty and good looking as Starbucks cold brew and you save on the trip and the 7$ coffee!

Em casa usamos direto a chaleira para tudo. Água quente para chá, arroz, cozinha, bolsa térmica entre outras.

I have heard positive things about cold brew coffee, so I thought I'd try this cold brewer and I love it. It's very stylish looking with a glass carafe inside of the plastic holder. The lid of the brewer is flexible and has a section which holds the mesh filter, which can easily be removed. You simply fill the filter with coarse or regular grind coffee, then add some water into the filter holding the coffee to wet the grounds, then fill the rest of the brewer with cold water until it reaches the top level of the grounds. You then let it sit in the fridge for 24+ hours [I leave mine for 36 hours to give a more concentrated brew]. Then you remove the filter, dump out the grounds and run warm water through the filter to clean it. The bottom of the filter can be unscrewed for easy cleaning. When the coffee has brewed it's fairly concentrated so I add about half a cup of the coffee to my mug and fill the rest with hot water. It gives me a warm cup of coffee which I like. You can heat it in the microwave for one minute if you like your coffee hot. I find that cold brewing eliminates the acid and oils that you get from hot brewing, so you get a much nicer tasting coffee.
