This is a very well designed product which I have come to expect from KitchenAid. It has a heavy glass construction with all components fitting well. With 7 batches brewed so far, I've been able to adjust my recipe to perfection. I was very pleased to find the bottom of the brewer can be easily opened to access the plumbing. Using the wrench ingeniously designed into the retaining large nut, you can very easily disable the brewer into its individual components for cleaning. I've been put off by cold brewers on the market as they mostly seem poorly made and ugly. The KitchenAid both looks and works great. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
