Since the cold brew trend continues, and I love it, a perfect way to save on money was to get my own cold brew maker. This one did not disappoint. I love the fact it comes with 3 settings on how strong you like your coffee to be. Keep in mind if you like it more bold it does take a little longer. It is very easy to clean (no coffee filters needed). I have yet to try tea, but assume it will also be just as simple.
