I wanted something simple to use, with a smallish footprint and looked nice. This cold brew coffee maker fit my requirements perfectly. It has a nice finish, is easy to take apart for cleaning and has a convenient folding handle. With the strainer in place the coffee maker does not look like it holds a large volume, but I get four to five 12 oz. glasses of ice coffee (w/ creamer added) out of each brew. The spigot it twist open/close and it does flow on the slow side, but not an issue unless you are trying to make large 16-20 oz. cups of ice coffee. I would recommend not using fine ground coffee as some will make it through the strainer. Just something to be mindful of if you do not grind your own beans. Other than that, very happy with this purchase. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
