Product Description
Make 51 ounces of cold brew coffee in no time with this Primula brewer. It’s easy to use: Just pour coffee grounds into the filter, then add as much water as you like and let the mixture sit for at least 18 hours Read More
I'm probably missing something, but why use borosilicate for a cold brew device? It's best feature is resistance to shattering due to quickly changing temperature. Cold brew isn't generally expressed to extreme temperature changes. It seems a tougher glass would be a better choice in this application. Probably cheaper too.
NotsurewhyibotherMost likely? This decision was to ensure the glass was dishwasher safe for anyone who finishes off their cold brew and immediately pops this into a hot wash/dry cycle (but I'm only guessing here).
That said, I consider it a nice feature for people (like me) who regularly don't follow directions properly and use this to experiment with other serving/drink options. For example: I've used mine to brew tea (hot) and douse with ice to quickly chill and serve. Or, added cold brew concentrate from a Toddy and hot water - simply because it proved easier to serve from.
IronpeddlerBeen using it for a few months after getting it on MD and the glass is definitely very thin, but I haven't experience any cracking yet, and have washed it and run it through the dishwasher (top rack) without issue. However, I could see if it takes a slight drop or a hard enough whack against something that it may crack.
Lusvigreally only the how fine the mesh is. Some french presses have bigger holes in the filter mesh and can let sediment into the coffee. Some people prefer the sediment, others don't, it's a preference.
Borosilicate was what Pyrex was once made of. Any fragility if this item is due to thinness of the glass, not the material. I'm a bit sad I just bought a French press about a month ago. When I drop my French press maybe this will drop soon afterwards.
That's a good price for a glass pitcher.
I had something similar, but I wasn't happy with the brew I was getting from the plastic mesh filter. I switched to a stainless steel filter model, and it was night and day taste wise...
I tried to buy the Pace model last year but it got damaged in shipping. Ended up buying it on Amazon a couple months ago. The thinness of the glass is a concern but I am careful. In my experience that Pace model's filter is too small or doesn't allow enough water to circulate through to make the coffee strong enough. On my last few attempts to brew I have skipped the filter and just dumped coffee grounds in with water over and used a filter the next day to separate the grounds after the fact. I'd be curious to know if the taller, skinnier design works better. Anyone else have this issue with the shorter model?
