Altura The TUBE Cold Brew Coffee Maker and Tea Infuser for Wide Mouth Mason Jars - Stainless Steel Cold Brew Filter Strainer for Iced Coffee, Fruit Water & More - (32oz/1qt)

Cold Brew Coffee Maker for Wide Mouth Mason Jar is a wonderful item for those interested in making cold brew coffee at home! It comfortably sits in a 64oz mason jar, a perfect fit for better volumes. The style is basic but works well since it allows good flavor with every cup. The mesh filter makes certain that the coffee ground are held in place resulting in a nice cold brew. It’s also quite easy to maintain and very sturdy so I suggest directing high-pressure water from the outside towards the inside to help keep the filter clean. This coffee maker is a must-have for anyone who loves to drink cold brew and I do not even want to think how would I be brewing without this one. Definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to brew their own cold brew!

I bought this product after experiencing Cold Brew for the first time and I have NEVER looked back. Just today this product died after two years of VERY heavy use. I would brew a 64oz mason jar of Cold Brew twice a week, sometimes 3 times even, without a break and the coffee always came out pure, clean, and free of coffee bean that can sour any caffeinated journey, while maintaining a high quality of flavor that made it through. The Pro's: Easy to use! Just throw it in the jar, add 2-4 scoops of your favorite coffee (I did the Colombian Roast) and add water. Refrigerate overnight for 12 hours and you have a full pot! The Con: Cleaning it was a bit of a pain, though hardly unmanageable, and it did gain some stains from constant use. Good Product, good results, and good coffee, what more can you ask for? Would recommend!

I went through 2 Takeya cold brew coffee pitchers. The fittings and filters lasted, but the Takeya pitchers cracked, turning the whole set into a bunch of plastic trash. I'm trying to get away from plastic anyway (not to mention getting away from buying stuff that will only last a year or two). I love that this is stainless & silicone. I love that it fits a wide-mouth mason jar. I love how well-made it is: the seam is rolled and pressed tightly for a smooth finish, the bottom is fitted securely, and the mesh is very fine. I usually use it in a quart jar for fresher cold brew, but when expecting guests I make 1/2 gallon. Some reviewers say the jar lid can't fit using the gasket, or that the gasket leaks... I never had either problem. I wonder if they noticed that the gasket has a slit? It fits around the upper rim, so 1/2 thickness is between the filter and the jar lid, and 1/2 the thickness is between the underside of the filter lip and the glass jar rim. Clever, and it works perfectly.

Good product. Can't seal with lid with the rubber seal around the cylander but removable so I can store in fridge, covered overnight while brews. Sieve works well, no coffee grounds in brew. Fits perfect for 64oz Mason jar.

Great for making cold brew and easier to use and clean than the fabric bags but allows more sediment, so run the coffee through cheese cloth to remove the sediment.

Perfect size for a 64 oz Mason jar. Well made, very sturdy

This infuser works great for cold brew tea.

The setup is pretty easy to use, and so far has produced great results. At this early stage, I have no opinion on durability; time will tell. The TUBE+ fits perfectly in a 64 oz. wide mouth Ball jar. I requested coarse ground coffee, i.e. for a French press, and used the recipe's amount by weight based on trusted advice from a cook with skills. Pour the water over, stir gently with a cocktail spoon to get the coffee good and wet, then cover and wait. Cleanup was very easy: remove the Tube and gently tap. Almost all of the grounds fell right out, and what little remained I back flushed under the faucet. No grounds or residue stuck to screen surface. One could certainly run it through the dishwasher but it really doesn't seem necessary. The coffee came out tasting great, and was very strong. Cut with water: coffee 1:1 or 2:1, based on preference. A recipe from Bon Appetit that I found suggests running the coffee through a paper filter, but they don't use the TUBE+. Does not seem necessary with this product. The coffee was not cloudy, and there are no grounds either in the serving glass or settled in the jar after several days in the fridge. Highly recommended!

Definitely a much more substantial and harder-wearing product than it's much cheaper Chinese-sourced equivalent (I have bought both). However the cheaper one achieves effectively the same degree of filtration, it would appear... I liked the guidance and free downloadable book with this.

Buyer beware. Product fell apart from regular use within the first year. Contacted customer service, was strung along with promises of replacement for over two months. Nothing received and no reply to follow up emails sent over the last couple weeks. UPDATE: After way too long I received replacement. It'll remain unused because the product makes a watery concentrate. I would not recommend this product or company as it lacks product quality and customer support. Good luck finding Mason jars for plus size. So many alternatives that make a much better concentrate.

This handy cold brew coffee maker works brilliantly. It is easy to use and easy to clean.

Cold brew coffee

This was just delivered today and I was eager to try it out. I wanted it for ice coffee and I've been using cheesecloth up until now! This does work as advertised BUT the reviews that mention some grinds/residue appear, are accurate. As soon as I submerged the tube in water, I immediately saw very fine grinds come out. Almost a murky looking water. I just used foldgers regular grind, so you may benefit from a coarser grind. Once it's ready, you can take an extra step and strain through a cheesecloth, but you may have a filmy iced coffee if you dont.
