In our house we love everything coffee, especially cold brew. This is seriously one of the coolest items to have. If you have ground coffee laying around this can be used right out of the box. plug it in, add water and choose which type of coffee setting you want to use. I started off with the regular setting, it was absolutely delicious. It doesn't take up too much room on the counter and it is easy to clean and if you are like me and buy cold brews in the store this will save you a nice amount of money. I am in love with this.
