Cuisinart - 7-Cup Cold-Brew Coffee Maker - Black stainless

I bought this product on sale thinking I would try it and return it because it would not meet my expectations. But after using it for a while now, I really like the product, and the coffee it makes. The product is pretty simple, and while mostly plastic, it seems like it will hold up just fine if you take care of it. Cleaning it is not too bad either. So far the grounds are very wet after making coffee, so I've been taking the basket outside and rinsing and dumping it. I think the biggest thing to keep it working properly is cleaning the basket very good. I rinse it with warm water while I scrub the inside with my fingers mostly, trying to get as much of the coffee residue and oil out of the plastic parts and metal screen. Then I soak the reservoir and basket in warm soapy water for at least 20 minutes, then rinse and reassemble. The coffee itself is really enjoyable. I prefer the bold option, while filling both the coffee basket and water reservoir to the max recommended levels. I love cold brew coffee, and love that this makes it very well without the bitter taste. I've only tried Folgers Black Silk coffee, but look forward to trying different coffee in the future. I really recommend this to anyone who likes cold brew coffee, and to anyone who likes iced coffee in general.

I'm pretty happy with the cold-brew that's produced by this machine. Is it connoisseur quality? No. But it does a decent job and, does it quickly. For a medium brew, it takes about 35 minutes. Not bad. The machine does make some noise as it rotates the basket with the coffee grounds, but I don't find it irritating. Others may. This machine will definitely be getting a lot of use in my household.

If you are not into bitter coffee, then this machine is for you. It works by periodically spinning the coffee basket for 30 minutes (or more depending on the setting) and also spinning the basket at the end after draining to get the remaining liquid out. Although not super quite (when it is spinning) the sound is not bothersome. Fairly easy to rinse out after use -- I run a short cycle with just water to keep it clean. If you like it hot, a microwave works fine. I recommend using more scoops than they recommend or it might taste a bit dilute.

While I appreciate the science and principle behind this machine in the effort to cold brew coffee in a minimal amount of time, it does not make a good brew in my opinion. The brew takes exactly the amount of time stated, however it's cloudy and the taste isn't that great. I have been, and will continue using, my Ninja coffee bar for iced coffee. I was hoping maybe this would be a good replacement, not using heat to brew, but not the case for me. I've tried several different coffee amounts, beginning and ending with what the recommended measurements should be. It's just a cloudy cup of coffee. It's a good quality maker, easy to use, and Deal of the Day made it a great value, but that doesn't mean it's a good cup of coffee. Returning today if it's not too busy at my store. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

Good choice. It is easy to use and easy to clean. You have three levels of coffee strength and the entire process takes about 30 minutes. Other makers take up to 24 hours. My only complaint is I wish it made more than seven cups at a time. Buy this.

Not sure how well this would make a nice cold brew however after the first brew, I was hooked. Delicious cold and sooo easy to make. Just Wish it didn't take a half hour to make a pot!!!

Very easy to use and makes a cold brew in a lot less time. No need to make it the night before. We bought it as a gift and they are very happy with the amount of time it saves.

Saw that cold brew can take nearly a full 24 hours to complete. With this machine, it automatically mixes fresh water with ground up coffee beans to accelerate the cold brewing process to under half an hour for even a strong brew. Tried typical cold brew technique of 24hr versus this and would say that it's comparable. Has multiple filters and always had a smooth coffee with no gritty parts. Everything dishwasher safe so easy cleanup by just taking part the associated parts and leaving them on the top rack.
