Too much work, too much money--and for all your trouble, you get a cold cup of coffee!

RayFThis is actually a really good deal, maybe even cheaper than when I backed this on Indiegogo. Like others have said in this thread, the end product is cold brew concentrate, which will give you anywhere from 2 to 4 cups (depending on how strong you like it). It's very easy to use.

I have had mine for about a month and here are my thoughts -
* drip rate seems to start off being consistent, but slows down as water is drained from the reservoir. I end up adjusting it at least a few times per brewing cycle and at most 4 or 5 times if I'm around to watch it. I try to keep it at the recommended 1 drip per second.
* sometimes my grounds aren't entirely saturated when I'm done brewing. I will dump the grounds out into the compost bucket and maybe 1/2 of the entire amount is completely dry. I'd like to know how to fix this cause I'm probably not getting a full brew (on top of wasting beans). I did try the following - using the tamper to tamp down on the grounds, use a paper filter on top to maybe spread out the water coming down. Maybe my grind size is off, I don't know.
* the brewed coffee is indeed smooth and flavorful and I'm happy with the containers.
* I bought some extra tiny filters just in case I need them in the future, but I don't think you even need them, especially if you're adding clean/filtered water as your source to the reservoir.
* overall I'm happy with it and aside from some hopefully minor adjustments it will stay in my brewing rotation throughout the week.

shlushSecond the bit about the drip rate slowing down over the brewing period. I recall on the first brew, wondering why it look incredibly long to complete, only realizing the drip rate had slowed a lot. It annoys me when it's advertised as consistent. I've found that sometimes, just lifting the reservoir and the coffee basket off the glass to allow for some air exchange helps restore the drip rate somewhat. It could be partially caused by some sort of vacuum effect due to the air-tight design?
They claim that it maintains 'sound air circulation', whatever the heck that is :p

@PVTLaunchpad could you please sort out the description?
The issue is not that I'm fanatically opposed to plastic, it's that my trust in massdrop is being eroded by inaccurate (and frankly, lazy) descriptions. Massdrop does have a community of sorts - an enthusiast community, it's not just online shopping, especially in other areas - and such a community depends a lot on clear and accurate information.
If this is as good as it gets, and you are adamant that the top part is not plastic, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, then fine, I'll order this and sort it out with massdrop's customer service if it's not as described. However, I really think that's a bit of a cop-out on both our parts.

VargnaarIt takes 4~8 hours. But this type of brewing method is not about whipping up a quick cup. Instead, you can make many cups' worth of coffee at once, ahead of time. Cold brewed coffee is quite concentrated, and lasts a week or more in the fridge. You can microwave it to get hot coffee, but at the end of the day it's cold and some people end up preferring hot brewing - however I find cold brew coffee is so much more delicious that it's worth it.
Here's a good review of this brewer, which might also give you an idea of the process:

Hi high1! As far as taste for metal filters, they let important elements through the filter and into the cup, such as oils and micro-fines. The taste will not be metallic. It's good to note that, this package gives you option to alter your coffee that way you like. :) Paper filters produce a brighter, sweeter cup of coffee with little or no sediment or oils. Metal filters produce a more robust and visually darker cup of coffee, which contains more oils and sometimes small amounts of sediment.

I'll buy one if you change the description to mention that it's made of plastic as well as glass and stainless steel.
Seriously, I like the look of it, and I've been looking for a cold brew dripper... but it really makes me feel unhappy when the description seems negligent. I start to feel the future annoyance of everyone who buys one and feels mislead.

TigermanHi Tigerman! The material of the brewer is heat-resistance glass, stainless steel, and silicon :)

PVTLaunchpadHave you ever seen one?
Isn't it the same as in this review? https://www.thecoffeeconcierge.net/beanplus-review/
Anyway, it clearly looks like plastic in the photos.

What is the volume of resulting coffee brew? Or volume generally, or whatever volume?
