VINCI Cold Brew 360, 1.4L Cold Brew Coffee Maker Featuring Patented Dual Filter 360 Brewing Technology, Cold Brew Pitcher for Iced Coffee

This cold brew pitcher set will brew about a quart ()4 cups) of cold brewed coffee, which is loosely similar to making coffee with a French press to make coffee, but instead of using freshly boiled water to extract regular strength coffee from the ground beans in 3-5 minutes, this set produces a strong concentrated coffee over 12-24 hours (depending on how strong a concentrate you want) using room temperature water to slowly extract the coffee from the ground beans. Both methods use coarse to regular ground coffee and it’s highly recommended you use filtered water for both methods because like the quality of the beans and skill of the roasters, it greatly affects the taste of the resulting coffee. The main draw of cold brewed coffee is the smooth flavor the process produces. Even those who seem to only tolerate coffee as a means to wake up or gain extra energy or endurance, For those who drink coffee as a base for other flavors, like vanilla, caramel, etc, tend to love unadorned cold brew. If you like coffee but wish it had a smoother taste, cold brew will likely be the answer. Everything about cold brewed coffee seems to be designed for the utmost convenience: It doesn’t require electricity, so it can be used when traveling or camping, it produces a rich, smooth coffee concentrate that is intended to store in the fridge for several days or a thermos for several hours, and the process uses room temperature water, so there’s no need to have a way to boil water. This particular set is compact, with all of the hardware you need to make and drink your coffee, including a reusable filtering system to produce the strongest, purest coffee. The set includes the picture, a tight fitting lid, a coffee scoop, a cup to hold the dripping filter after the brewing is complete, a filter in the form of a slim cylinder that locks into the lid so that it sits in the center of the pitcher. The filter has a top that fits flush into the top of it. You make a full pitcher of the cold brew by pouring about 4 cups of room temperature, filtered water into the pitcher (there is a maximum fill line printed on the pitcher). Pour 9 scoops of course to medium ground coffee into the filter (the scoop holds 2 tablespoons, so 9 scoops is 1&1/8 cups of coffee.), insert the filter top (which is alto a filter), and then attach the filter to the underside of the lid. This ensures that it stays stationary in the pitcher when it’s full of water. Insert the filter into the pitcher full of water, orienting it so the spout lines up. Set the pitcher out at room temperature for 12-24 hours, depending on how strong you want it to be. I like very strong coffee because I like to nmake iced lattes, which means diluting the coffee with milk, a little cream, and a flavored syrup. I experimented with leaving the cold brew on the counter for 36 hours and it was too strong, even for my milkiest lattes. I decant my cold brew into large thermoses so I can constantly have the cold brew on hand. This already promises to be a hot spring and summer, so this pitcher will get a lot of use. I always hand was everything after I decant the new batch of brew simply because it only takes minutes. However, I believe it’s all dishwasher safe though I’d put the filter on the top rack. I have two more suggestions: investigate local coffee roasters. The absolute best coffee I’ve ever had is from a local brewer. My favorite independent coffee house sells it. It’s a bit pricier than the premium coffees in grocery stores but this is one thing I refuse to go low quality on. I’d rather drink less coffee than pay good money for subpar coffee, Fun fact: The coffee from France is some of the WORST in the world! It’s always been believed to be some of te best, even having a type of roast named after it but this fallacy is likely the result of actual fiction, namely literature and movies. A French prime minister famously said French coffee was donkey pi**! Allegedly, the reason a notoriously proud people put up with such a disgrace is, again allegedly, because the national industry is controlled by a mafia group that no one dares to challenge. Some believe the government is equally afraid of this group while others believe they’re simply well paid to look the other way. Sadly as an American, I can see either reason being equally true. The French citizens usually get their coffee from neighboring Italy or have it shipped in from Africa. Speaking of Italy, if you don’t have a local roaster, try Illy from Italy. Totally worth it. You can get it in most stores now. Some swear by the in store Dunkin Donuts brand of coffee. Second tip: Make/decant your own flavored syrups. Save your wine bottles, make simple syrup, and then add the extract of your choice: vanilla, almond, coconut, rum, then decant (you can purchase packages of pouring spouts online or find them in kitchen stores. You can even make a liquid caramel to use as a syrup. You can find the techniques for everything online. They’re all dead simple! Cheers!

I recently purchased the VINCI Cold Brew 360, 1.4L Cold Brew Coffee Maker, and I absolutely love it! Although it's designed for cold brew coffee, I’ve been using it to make cold brew tea, and the results are fantastic. The patented dual filter system does an excellent job of steeping the tea evenly, resulting in a smooth and flavorful brew every time.The 1.4L capacity is perfect for making enough tea to last a few days, and the sleek design fits nicely in my fridge without taking up too much space. It’s incredibly easy to use and clean, which makes the whole process a breeze. If you’re a cold brew tea or coffee lover, I highly recommend giving this product a try. It has definitely elevated my cold brew experience!

The design is very appealing. As promise, it fit neatly in my refrigerator, with a nice brewing portion. The instructions were easy to follow. The ease of brewing was excellent. The coffee tasted great. No bitter aftertaste or grounds in coffee. Can be used for all types of coffee.

Works well, just use the right beans and give it ample time and the cold brew will be satisfactory.

Really easy to make your own cold brew. Saves me a lot of money, and the cold brew is soooooo much better than store bought stuff. It's fun too!

I only drink ice coffee, so I didn't want to have a regular coffe maker. I didn't want another item taking up counter space. For me I found that I need half the coffee recommended, or it is too strong. I saw some people say that the coffee doesn't steep well. It is important to use room temperature water and to let it steep for 12-24 hours on the counter. Once it is to your particular strength, then you can place it in the refrigerator. This is so easy and works as listed. Love it!!

Loved the design of the product, seemed easy enough to use. But the brew didn’t taste as good as other cold brew I have had, and was muddy with grounds residue. I ordered the brewer I’d had before and kept the pitcher to use.

I love this product! It works very well and makes great-tasting cold brew every time. It’s very easy to use and to clean and I’m saving a ton of money making my own cold brew at home! I highly recommend to any coffee lover or cold brew enthusiast.
