Based on CR's rating, I bought this off Amazon this week. CR'r review was spot on!
Using Costco KS Colombian Whole Beans, ground fresh before preparing, this makes great cold brew, very smooth and delightful flavor. (Bit of a cheat here: I have been buying Costco's canned cold brew coffee made from the same stock, and they taste about the same. If anything, this maker produces slightly smoother taste, but I may be making it a bit weaker.) Takes 12-24 hrs to steep; I've let it steep about 18 hours so far to make good dark brew. This device is 100% manual, and you will likely have to pour water over the grounds bit by bit until the top section is full. Water has to settle into and through the grounds after they "bloom." Once full, you set it aside roughly overnight, then open the air vent, release the fill valve, and delicioso cold brew drains into the carafe which you can then put in the fridge to chill.
The top portion dismantles and can be practically rinsed out under warm water for next use. Soap hardly needed (maybe once a week). The carafe cleans quite easily with an OXO or similar brand soft nylon bottle brush. Take especial care of the gaskets ... one fell out during unpacking, it was very simple to put back in place. Don't overtighten and I'm sure they'll last a long time. The more expensive models may offer convenience, but frankly, this is like making ice tea or lemonade, it's not rocket surgery. If the output isn't enough for your household, you can buy two for the same amount of money of a fancier "automatic" model that perhaps doesn't make that much more. I might even do that if I switch to cold brew every day for the summer months (idea!). The all-black model looks very sleek and cool IMHO.
Based on performance and taste, I bought a second maker in copper (and it briefly came with a pour spout top), and bought another for my daughter Christmas. With a second carafe, I can have a batch chilled in the fridge and make a fresh batch at the same time. I don't know if the replacement carafes come with a lid, but if they do that would be an economical enhancement.

Benefits of Cold Brew
Coffee brewed hot is far more acidic than cold-brewed, according to a number of scientific studies, and some say cold-brewed coffee even has a sweeter taste because of its lower acidity.

Keep your coffee and benefits
If drinking hot coffee causes such issues for you, cold brewed coffee is for you. The benefits will still be present, but hopefully the discomfort won’t. Making this small change in your routine could mean the difference between feeling bad and feeling better.

The best gift ever!
I bought this for my husband for Fathers Day. He said it was the best gift he has ever received. He has recently discovered cold brew and was trying to make it at home using K cups and it was always a disappointment until now. He makes it the night before work since it has it brew for 12 hours and then in the morning he adds a handful of ice in the same container he made it in and hes out the door. He says it stays cold all day in that container even in 100 degree weather in the car.It fits perfect in the refrigerator.It shipped out super fast. Great buy!!
