CoffeeSock ColdBrew Filter - The Original Reusable Coffee Filter- GOTS Certified Organic Cotton Reusable Coffee Filter (TWO GALLON GLASS RING)

This is my second one. I used the first one continuously for 5 months (each batch lasting approx 5 days) while on a work trip. It worked very well. I didn't have any running water or a place to clean it between uses, so I had to improvise. After pouring the fresh concentrate into an empty water bottle, I turned the coffee sock inside out and dunked in my small pitcher a few times. That seemed to remove 95% of the grounds. Then I wrung it out and hung it to dry from a carabiner using the sock's (extremely useful) metal ring. Every few batches, I'd refill the pitcher with fresh water and soak the sock in there overnight to get it (somewhat) cleaner. Now that I'm home again I've chosen to replace it for my next trip, but I'm sure it would have continued to work for the indefinite future. Cold brew came out smooth. I'd have no problem using this at home either, but I usually make larger batches with a toddy I've had a for years. Can't beat it for long trips, though - I just roll it up and tuck it in a screw-top plastic pitcher and it travels easily.

Love this sock for making cold brew at home. Just grind the beans, put them in the sock, bloom (wet) them, close the sock, and pop it in a pitcher of filtered water overnight. The next morning, just pull out the sock. No more paper filters and multiple strainings to get rid of all the grounds. I've found a 4:1 ratio works best for making cold brew concentrate the way I like it: strong. I know some people make hot coffee out of the concentrate as well as iced, but I have yet to try it hot. I prefer my coffee iced, especially during the summer months. Cold brew is not acidic, unlike regularly-brewed coffee, because the beans are never exposed to heat. The slow, cold extraction method also allows the true flavor nuances of beans from different regions to shine through as well. This sock makes the whole process so much easier. Definitely recommend!

This exceeded my expectations. I used to made cold brew by soaking the grounds, but filtering the coffee out to remove the cloudiness was difficult and sometimes impossible. However, with this coffee sock, I get a great batch of coffee that is free if bits or residue. And it's easy to just remove the sock and there's less mess or use of tools. The main thing to get the best extraction is to bloom the coffee by making sure you add water for every scoop or two of coffee you add and stir it. If not, you're left with a dry center. Overall I'm glad I got this.

The first time I used this I thought the coffee was going to be too weak because it looked so clear even after setting for several hours. It turned out to taste perfect, but there was no coffee sediment clouding it up because of the coffee sock. SO MUCH EASIER than anything I have used before and the cold brew was perfect tasting. I love this thing! I am giving these as gifts to several coffee lovers in my life.

I tried another cold brew system with a metal filter before this and couldn't get rid of the need for an extra round of filtration, but this is perfect. It's very easy to use and I have no grounds and/or fine sludge in my brew at all. Cleaning wasn't too difficult--turn inside out and rinse off grounds and oils. I'm hoping this holds up to long term use; it feels durable. Fits in the 64 oz mason jar perfectly. I am still perfecting my measurements and brew time but I was able to get one batch of concentrate and one batch of regular coffee out of one sock full.

I was having so many issues with fines getting into my cold brew with the metal strainer/filters. I know I did not want to spend the money on a whole new system, such as another name brand cold brew system. I did some research and stumbled upon a "CoffeeSock" being mentioned. With a quick google, I stumbled here. All I have to say is, I'm ready to buy another so I can have two cold brews going at once. This is a must buy if you're going to do cold brews.

I looked for the LONGEST time for a convenient way to filter my cold brew coffee. Nothing seemed to work well. Everything I tried either left granules floating in my coffee or filtered wayyyy too slowly. I was hesitant about buying these but I am soooo glad I did. They are so useful and so easy to clean. My one complaint is that they do tend to attract a lot of lint and fuzz so you have to be careful about where you store them!

I've used many different methods for brewing my cold brew coffee, but after various filter bags, strainers, sieves, and more, I finally have something that doesn't leave my coffee filled with the fine sediment that is unavoidable with even the coarsest of grinds. It can ruin the mouthfeel and lead to bitterness when the sediment isn't filtered out. But so far, this coffee sock seems to be doing the trick!Definitely worth it.
