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 – (64oz/2qt)

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 use this to cold brew Gunppwder green tea in my fridge. Its a great thing. Best tasting tea. High quality and fits in my 24 oz tumbler.

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.

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.

Little residue in jar even with fine ground coffee. Easy to shake grounds loose and toss; easy to clean by hand or dish washer. Easy to fill.

Works great for iced coffee I love it

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!
