The build quality of this is great.  You can tell it is made by KitchenAid.  The filter is works well and The maker is heavy for its size.  But the main issue with this is that the spout is at the bottom, which means that any fine coffee particles that makes it through the filter will settle to the bottom and make it to the first few cups dispensed.  This means all the coffee has to be course ground, with no fine particles in order to avoid the coffee sediment.  You would have to use a burr grinder and then strain out fine particles - which would be a lot of work.  If you make cold brew with a French press, the benefit is that you pour from the top - not the bottom, as you would with this maker.
