Cheap filter and non-ergonomic handle make this mediocre
Number of Items: 1, Number of Items: 1
I think this will get the job done, but the plastic and filter portion of the filter in the middle is really cheap plastic and I can't imagine it holding up very long.
I have a different pitcher with a stainless steel filter and it fits nicely, but this one just loosely floats around in the pitcher without being fixed and feels like it wasn't really designed to fit with the pitcher.
There is a warning on the box to not use hot liquids which makes me a little concerned about chemicals that may come off into the drink. It is advertised as a cold brew pitcher, so that may not be a concerned, but if you want some hot tea or something and then want to store it in the fridge with the pitcher, you would want to wait for it to cool.
The compact size fits well in the fridge, but the handle is awkwardly close to the pitcher body so that if I hold it normally, my knuckles are making contact with it, so it is not comfortable to pour.
The lid seems like it would pop off, but, despite being pretty rectangular, it twists off. It seems to hold pretty snugly, but after rinsing it out and starting some cold brew hibiscus tea, I didn't want to try holding it upside down to see how well it holds water.
The lid has a little locking mechanism to prevent it from opening that you slide. When it's unlocked and you press down to open it, it stays up until you manually push it back down, so you could consider that either helpful or annoying, depending on your preference.
Because the filter inside is so flimsy and doesn't lock in to the pitcher or the lid and the plastic not spring hot liquids, I can't say I recommend this. I think you are better off finding one made with tempered glass and stainless steel.
If you don't really care about the filter and just want a plastic pitcher because you have children or are otherwise concerned with a glass one breaking, I think this one could work well for you.

Not Quite As User Friendly As I Hoped, But Does Have A Good, Reliable Seal And Deep Infuser Basket
Number of Items: 1, Number of Items: 1
I really wanted to like this, but it wasn't quite what I had in mind. Perhaps if I was a regular cold brew brewer this would come together better for me. But I got it because I like infused tea and the center strainer in my previous pitcher broke/ wore out. I do drink cold brew coffee occasionally too, since it is easier on my stomach. But I had been buying it prepackaged from the grocery store. So when I came across this, I thought it was a great way to cover 2 things at once.
I did find some pros and cons. First, I like the size, it fits in my fridge door well. And the square shape conforms without taking up extra space better than my round pitcher does. I like that it can be put on its side, but I haven't been brave enough to do that yet. And I like that the infuser basket comes down far into the container.
Some of the things that were drawbacks for my use are the basket is rather large and takes up a good bit of container space. Granted, it is mesh and water can pass right through it as intended. And smaller would be harder to clean. Maybe it is a mental thing, feeling like it is blocking space, I don't know. Plus it arrived warped already, which makes me question how well it will hold up long term. And I sometimes like putting hot tea into my pitcher and this is labeled no hot water. But then it says it is dishwasher safe (top rack) which gets pretty hot, so I am afraid to actually put it in my dishwasher. And I'm not a fan of handwashing.
I like that it came with extra gaskets and seals, but who really keeps up with those things? I put them in my kitchen drawer, the one with all the weird extra things you forget about in it. And I'm sure I'll not know what they go to when the time comes I need them.
I haven't made cold brew in it just yet, sticking with fruit tea so far. I realized cold brew requires its own grind and a LOT of it. So it does OK for my use, but not a total homerun. It isn't totally user friendly, especially the lid. But glad to brew up some refreshing cold drinks for summer.

Makes excellent cold brew
Number of Items: 1
I thought I'd be using this in the summer, but a recent heat wave made me want to move away from hot coffee. I put in about a tablespoon of fresh-ground coffee per 8 ounces of water, and then another tablespoon on top of that. The coffee after around 12 hours was a medium-brown but intensely tasty; the next day it was darker and fuller but still very similarly tasty. I was very, very pleased. The mesh of the filter is extremely fine, though I went with a coarser grind so had no concerns about ground leaking through, which none did. The filter is really thin, though, so I need to be very careful when cleaning it out. That's the biggest flaw, actually, though it's not substantial enough to give it only four stars. It's just a bit tricky getting the grounds out any other way than just running water through it and rinsing it out. Otherwise, this lives up to the hopes I had for it. The spout has a very solid positive seal on it, so that's very reassuring. It doesn't take up too much room in the fridge, either, so I'm pleased about its form factor.

SlimFit 64oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Number of Items: 1
I bought this cold brew coffee maker mainly to stop buying iced coffee every day, and honestly it’s been a great little upgrade. The 64oz size is perfect for making a few days’ worth at once, and it fits nicely in the fridge door without taking up too much space. The filter does a good job keeping grounds out, and the coffee comes out smooth and not overly bitter. I also like the ergonomic handle — it feels sturdy and easy to pour even when the pitcher is full.
What stood out most is how versatile it is. I’ve used it not just for cold brew, but also for iced tea and fruit-infused water, and it works well for everything. The lid seals tightly so there are no leaks, and cleanup is pretty simple since the filter rinses out easily. The plastic feels durable and lightweight, which is great for everyday use. Overall, it’s a practical and affordable option if you want homemade cold drinks ready in your fridge without much effort.

Best cold brew system I have used. Produces consistently smooth coffee
Number of Items: 1
This iced coffee maker is a fantastic addition to a busy kitchen, especially if you value fridge space and a clean cup of joe. The slim design is a major win; it slides perfectly into the refrigerator door, leaving plenty of shelf space for everything else. Functionally, the filtration is top-notch. The internal membrane is fine enough that it blocks every bit of sediment, ensuring that the final cold brew is smooth and entirely grit-free. It’s a leakproof, reliable system that makes the brewing process remarkably simple.
I’ve been using this to keep a fresh batch of cold brew ready for my mornings, and the quality of the coffee is consistently excellent. It’s much more convenient than a standard French press for this specific task, as I can just set it and forget it overnight without worrying about spills or a messy cleanup. However, the initial setup was a bit of a puzzle due to the lackluster instructions. I spent a fair amount of time tugging at the top before I realized it’s a simple twist-off lid. Once you get past that "spoiler alert" moment, the operation is completely intuitive.
Aside from the initial learning curve with the lid, I haven’t run into any issues. It’s easy to clean, easy to pour, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any fuss. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance way to make café-quality iced coffee at home, this is a sturdy and practical choice. It’s a great value for anyone who wants a dependable brewer that stays out of the way until you need it.
