Operating Instructions
Follow these simple steps to brew delicious cold brew coffee:
- Add Coarse Ground Coffee: Place the mesh filter securely inside the carafe. Fill the mesh filter with your desired amount of coarse ground coffee. For a 32 oz brew, approximately 8 tablespoons of coffee grounds are recommended. Adjust to taste.
- Pour Water: Slowly pour room temperature water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Fill up to your desired measurement mark on the carafe.
- Refrigerate: Place the carafe in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. For a lighter brew, steep for a shorter duration (e.g., 12 hours). For a stronger concentrate, steep for up to 24 hours.
- Remove Filter: Once the desired brew time is complete, carefully remove the mesh filter from the carafe.
- Enjoy: Pour the cold brew concentrate into a cup with ice and water or milk to your liking.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper care ensures the longevity of your cold brew coffee maker.
- All components are dishwasher safe.
- For best results, hand wash the mesh filter to ensure all coffee grounds are removed.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass or stainless steel.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions:
- Weak Coffee: Ensure you are using coarse ground coffee. Fine grounds can lead to over-extraction and bitterness, but also may not allow proper water flow for full extraction. Stir the grounds gently after adding water to ensure full saturation. Increase steeping time.
- Sludge in Coffee: Use coarse ground coffee. If using pre-ground coffee, shake the mesh strainer over a sink before brewing to remove any very fine particles.
- Glass Breakage/Cracks: The borosilicate glass is durable but can break if dropped or subjected to extreme temperature changes. Handle with care.
