Great to brew my favorite iced tea!

5 out of 5 stars

Great to brew my favorite iced tea!
I was looking for a filter to brew tea in my 64oz. Mason jar and this filter is perfect for my needs. It has been 18 months now since I purchased it and I use it every other day to make a fresh batch of flavored iced tea. I also often bring flavored tea at parties and everyone loves it and even bought it after seeing the results. I use Harneys and sons flavored tea, but this works perfectly with any tea, herbal tea or coffee. The mesh is super fine so there is no small leaves that can go through so your tea is as clear and filtered as Starbucks! For some reason, the shape of the filter is not at an angle compared to other conical filters on the market and this one gives me a better brew. Even if I have other filters that are newer than this one, I find myself using this one the most. Don’t hesitate to give this filter a try, you won’t regret it!

    Love the Kick cold brew gives me

    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!

    Durability and Quality! Two years of heavy use!

    Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2024

    Size: The TUBE+ (64oz/2qt)Verified Purchase

    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!

    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.

    Convenient, clean, and bound to last!

    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023

    Size: The TUBE (32oz/1qt)Verified Purchase

    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.

    Great start to making my own cold brew

    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019

    Size: The TUBE+ (64oz/2qt)Verified Purchase

    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!

    Cheap versus costly.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 14, 2018

    Size: The TUBE (32oz/1qt)Verified Purchase

    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.

    I find PC regular grind coffee is good enough for me using this

    Reviewed in Canada on July 25, 2018

    Size: The TUBE (32oz/1qt)Verified Purchase

    Works exactly as described: cold brew concentrate overnight. Note: don't set this up right at bedtime; I find I need to stir the grounds about an hour in, because a lot of them have floated to the top and aren't soaking fully. Leaves a bit of sediment in the bottom but nothing you can't let settle and pour off from. I find PC regular grind coffee is good enough for me using this; no need to spring for $20 / pound stuff.

    I started making cold brew coffee a few months ago using a nut milk bag and mason jar.
    I found this setup to be messy, slow, and difficult to keep grounds from appearing in the finished product.
    I picked up the Tube+ and couldn’t be happier!
    It’s super easy to use, strains well, and is a cinch to clean.

    Works fine but residue does appear

    Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2018

    Size: The TUBE (32oz/1qt)Verified Purchase

    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.
