I have used this several times now to make cold brew iced coffee. Delicious and easy! I like the dispensing spout. It does not leak and has a clean shut off/on. The coffee basket is a very fine mesh - there is some coffee sediment in the bottom of the decanter when the coffee is used up. This does not interfere with taste. My only "complaint" with this product is that it could be twice as large! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
