Hario Cold Brew Coffee Pot Mizudashi Red 1000ml, Large

I bought this because it is simple, elegant, and looks to be made very well. Also the reviews here were so good.It took a very long time to arrive from Japan to the UK, but I must say that it is excellent. It fits just fine in the fridge door or big shelf. The filter part is very fine material and easy to clean. It is durable, and the process is easy to do.It is very tall and thin, which made me worry about knocking it over and breaking it. So far, so good.I have used it several times now, and it has produced excellent, smooth, rich coffee which never has bothered my stomach in the least. I have also had excellent success by making a second brew with the same coarsely ground beans. The brew is slightly lighter, but still very usable and delicious, without any hint of bitterness.Highly recommended!

This product is the best, and easiest, way I’ve found of making delicious cold brew coffee.Just pop 80g of coarse ground (medium or dark roast) coffee into the filter. Add the filter to the jug then pour cold water onto the coffee, filling the jug to about 2cm from the top (I have the 1 litre) Then just leave in the fridge to brew for at least 12 hours. Once ready, remove the filter (it’s so easy to clean) and put your jug of cold brew concentrate back in the fridge. It normally lasts me a few days.Personally I love it mixed with normal milk or chocolate milk and some vanilla syrup for an amazing cold brew latte/mocha.If you like cold brew coffee I would recommend this product over any other I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a few.If you’ve decided to buy one, enjoy!

My first one of these in red started the have issues with the filter after years of use. Pleased to see the price hasn't gone up in that time! I had to get a replacement sent as the first one arrived smashed but that's an anomaly and I don't think reflects on the quality as the replacement, and the very first one I bought, are absolutely fine. It's a good size, fits well in my fridge door. I usually leave it to brew for about 24 hours to be safe so it's not speedy, but it is delicious! Looks good as well.

What I like about this product.Easy to useThe filter is easy to cleanEasy to emptyHolds a decent volume of concentrated coffee, since I am the only one who drinks it, it lasts about five days as I do not like to add too much since the max you should have is about 4 cups of coffee a day.What I dislike about the productThe jug is not easy to clean, as it is narrow. Although if you have a bristled brush it should be fine.The glass jug looks pretty fin, so I am not sure how long it will last. See the update part of my review for more info.Even though the filter is easy to clean after a while it got to the point where it was permanently stained.I'm not sure why there is a flavor rating. Since there are loads of things that can affect the flavor of the coffee. For example, the balance of minerals in the water you use, how the temperature of your fridge, or if you decide to brew it at room temp, how fine or coarse the coffee is, the brand you use, and the type of roast you use for your coffee. The list is endless! So I would ignore that metric on a purchase like this.Update: After 1 year and a half, mine has developed a crack on the top. To be fair I have been using this every week since the day I got it, so having to resort to buying a new one but not the exact one. It is still usable but who knows when the crack propagates rendering it useless.If you decide to get this, I find it is better to feel the jug with water first then place the filter in then the coffee. It saves waiting for all the water to drain from the filter into the jug.

Simple to use, easy to clean. Shop bought iced coffees will never taste as good again.Put ground coffee in the filter and slowly fill it up with cold water ( weights are in the supplied instructions, I put the whole thing on a scale so I can be accurate about it, but I don't get out much). Give the coffee a whisk with a chopstick (not supplied) and pop it in the fridge. The next day, remove the filter, and marvel at the strong, smooth, tasty coffee you have made.The end of the filter unscrews so it is easy to get rid of the used coffee grounds... you can dishwash the filter ( top rack, eco/ low temp wash). The glass jug is also dishwashable ( just take care that it doesn't fall over when you are loading/unloading the dishwasher).The only hard part is choosing which coffee blend is your favourite: Taylor's 'Easy Sunday' is super reliable and widely available, Percol are worth trying too. Yes, the 'artisan' coffees are great, but these simple machines make even supermarket blends taste really good (M&S Colombian Beans is another one worth a go).I use one of these for iced coffee and a Clever Dripper for hot coffee - both make coffee which is genuinely amazing.

I’ve tried various cold brew coffee brewers and this is by far the best. Not as pretty or theatrical as the ones with fancy glass bulbs and slow drips, but definitely the one that makes the best coffee (and with the least effort too).Easy to use. Easy to clean. Reliable results every time. And makes great coffee.The coffee it makes is more concentrated than many of the more elaborate cold brew devices on the market (and needs to be diluted with hot or iced water in the normal way) but the coffee it makes is equally smooth and free of any hint of bitterness.This device has single handedly converted me to cold brew coffee and I use it almost daily. Yes you have to wait a while for the coffee to brew (I tend to leave it 18-24 hours) but it’s well worth the wait. And works just as well with cheaper coffee grounds as it does with much more expensive or rarer blends.Very highly recommended. If you like coffee then you have to give this one a try. You won’t regret it.
