Hot weather means it’s time for cold brew—no, not beer: ice-cold coffee with 65 percent less acidity compared with traditional brewing methods. For delicious cold brew wherever you go, turn to this Primula cold brew bottle Read More
sims226The second I saw this drop I went straight to the comments because I had tried buying a previous (albeit different version, same brand) of this item. It's unfortunate to read that this one is also trash.
So if it costs $2.75 to ship one of these, how come it costs $6.75 to ship two? Seems like it would be better to make two separate purchases if that's the case...
mthayrYa I'd recommend saving yourself the buck.25 honestly. Why throw away money towards inflated shipping costs? So funny when this type of thing slips by unnoticed. Good catch 👍🏼
I received my cold brew system and have used it twice without issues. I admit that the previous post about inverting the bottle during the brewing process does indeed produce a darker result. I am well pleased with this drop.
I have found a problem with my bottle (no, it does not leak), the top cap has a tendency to not want to unscrew sometimes and it feels like the SS part is trying to seperate from the plastic part. It has not happened yet but I suspect tgst it will in the future. I need to see if replacements are available.
ScroogeMcDuckHa ha, not quite the same. When you hot brew coffee, the end result is a more bitter acidic coffee. Cold brewed coffee is a lot less acidic and smoother. Next time you go to your favorite coffee joint on a hot day, ask for a cold brew coffee with sweetener and cream or just black. You will see the difference!
Hey guys,
I made the mistake of buying this, before I read any of the discussions or reviews, I was kinda bummed that I wasted the money on it, but I hadn't received it yet to try it out for myself! The complaints I kept reading, they leak, they leak, they don't make strong coffee at all, its coffee flavored water, don't waste your money!
A couple of the people said to wet the bottom seal before you screw it on...that makes sense, otherwise its just going to twist and bind, and you will have a bad seal. Another guy said that maybe if you brew the coffee with the filter at the top, the coffee will be stronger. I tried those two suggestions. I bought two of the bottles, both bottles i did a course grind and filled the filters up to the brim. I made sure to wet both seals before tightening them. When i put them in the fridge, i put one upside down, and the other right side up. The one upside down brewed noticeably quicker and stronger, while the one right side up just kind of steeped along slower, although with out a single drip of water out the bottom. They both steeped a little more then 24 hours, this morning I took the one that had been upside down. It is almost too strong but really good!
So... Try wetting your bottom seal, see if that will help. You could also try a little Vaseline to lubricate the seal. Also steep it upside down, it will make a difference and you will have some great tasting cold brew!
FullObeansI have my burr grinder set on the coarsest setting, it does seem to still have a lot of fine powder that gets ground up. I am not complaining about the brew. I was just saying that it seems to brew better upside down, for what reason, i don't know.
Thanks for your help!
I did find that wetting the seal helped immensely to seal it properly. I'm still disappointed in the chip in the glass at the screw on, but now it's fine and I'm able to make cold brew coffee and also tea!
I do have some food grade petroleum available so if I need that, I will use it.
CinnamonBunnyI also had my bottle chip recently. It happened when I was trying to remove the filter, it was stuck in the jar, and when it came loose it chipped the lip of the jar. I emailed Primula, and the sent me a new one!

I got this from amazon originally took 3 tries to get one that didn't arrive broken. After trying it out it never made anything strong enough unless I only added just enough water to cover the filter. Returned product and ended up getting https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FFLY64U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Have had it since April and love it works perfect enough that now they make a 2 quart version I am going to buy that one and give the 1 quart one away to my daughter.
How about getting them to make a poly exterior, glass interior such as LibreTea https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MI1FLOY has. Safer for travel, and help keep hot things hot, or cold things cold.
