Cold Brew Coffee Maker - 1.8L / 60oz Premium Glass Pitcher with Reusable Stainless Steel Filter and No-Slip Silicon Base - Includes Bonus Ice Tube Chiller and Stir Spoon

Okay, so I take my coffee pretty seriously. I hand grind my own beans and take the time to do everything right. I’ve always loved cold brew but have had a really hard time finding a good cold brew coffee maker that meets my needs, until now. This thing is AMAZING. First off, it looks great and it’s built with quality which is important. The size of it is great, I opted for this bigger one over their smaller brewer because I drink a lot of coffee and felt it was better suited for multiple people (sometimes I have friends come over and it’s nice to be able to offer them high quality cold brew, they love it). The coffee it makes it also fantastic. They nailed the design and the brew ratio is perfect. I can’t stop drinking this stuff.Lastly, the packaging and directions are on point. Coffee Panda emailed me after I made my purchase and in the email came special cold brew recipes and a really sweet message from the owners. You can tell they care about their product and their brand. I sent them an email with a question and they answered me in less than an hour. Now that is customer service.Very satisfied customer here and I don’t usually write reviews like this but felt this one deserved it. I don’t think you will regret buying this cold brew coffee maker at all!

I wanted to like this product, I really did. I bought this because it's larger than my french press, but found it very difficult to use, and not more effective than the french press I was using previously. The filter is not wide enough or deep enough to make stronger brews, resulting in coffee-flavored water when soaked grounds are filled to the top of the filter. In addition, I consistently had sludge in the bottom after every brew, even using the coarsest grind our Breville Smart Grinder Pro can produce. It takes approximately 15min or longer to pour (trickle) water over the grounds as instructed to prevent an overflow; this is 14min faster than it should be via most other methods. I ended up going to a half gallon wide-mouthed jar and a nut milk bag, considering I was double filtering anyway. Avoid this product. Not doing so will result in weak cold brew, and putting in an unnecessary amount of work to produce it.

On the pitcher the ratio to water results in weak coffee flavor. The cylinder (for the grounds) too easily detaches from the spout section. The rubber base too easily falls off the pitcher base.

This was bought as a gift. I read all the information on various cold-brew makers on the market, and took a chance on this one. my Hub found theend result to be weak, so he found something else and bought it. I didn't feel good about returning it; he had used it too much testing it. It is a good product, nicely designed. It's just my Hub who is a fussy bunny. I think that this information should have been in the description: Cannot make strong cold brew.

Pretty good pot, cleans and assembles easy. The rubber foot at the bottom is a bit lazy feeling. It is not permanently attached. Tends to collect a lot of moisture but it's not that big a deal. Just pop it off to dry. The filter fills up a bit fast since it's so slender. Overall though product feels and works great.

UPDATE: After contacting the company I was EXTREMELY impressed with the prompt, excellent customer service to resolve my issue. That alone warranted an increase in star rating. I will definitely purchase another Coffee Panda in the future. Also, If they would combine the locking mechanism for the filter of the 1.3L pitcher with the durable mesh core of the 1.8L they would definitely have a home run product!!I just completed my first batch of Cold Brew using the Coffee Panda and the taste is fantastic as is the ease of use. The only problem I have is the coffee filter core doesn't fit in the lid very well. I had it fall out twice while I was VERY GENTLY stirring the grounds. Luckily, I was able to catch it against the side both times with the spoon and was able to salvage the batch but it is extremely irritating. I may contact the company and see if there is a defect in the core or return it and try another brand.

I've had the product for month and the threading the holds the plastic insert failed so when you mix the coffee grounds to ensure they're saturated (what the long spoon is provided to accomplish) with water it falls out and creates a mess. Flawed design or I just got a bad item. I would avoid buying this and go with a Toddy or if you need large volume the gallon jars with stainless insert.

The filter is flimsy and let’s the ground coffee escape into the main container.
