11/29/18 – Updated For Hyperchiller V2
I’ve had the original version for some time now and recently got this V2 model. And the V2 fixes the quirks that plagued the original. The concept has remained unchanged. But the original model had a leakage issue when pouring out the coffee. There were 2 vent holes that help with pressure inside the device, and the melted ice / water would come out when you tipped the unit steeply at the end of the pour. I used to have to cover both holes with my thumbs when pouring so i didn’t get water in my coffee.
They fixed that in V2 so the hole is smaller, just a single hole now, and better placed. So there’s no leakage issues.
The spout is slightly modified in V2 as is the shape being not entirely round like it was before.
So..all in all , V2 was a worthy upgrade and I think they’ve perfected this device at this point!
Works as advertised. Gone are the days of pouring hot coffee over ice and being left with watered down iced coffee, or having to make coffee in advance and have it take up space in the refrigerator! I have a Keurig and with the drip pan removed the HyperChiller fits nicely and the coffee pours right into the HyperChiller.
My only issue, and it's not one that applies to everyone per se, is that I make a 10 oz cup of coffee and this will melt all the ice in the HyperChiller. So at that point it has to go back in the freezer for 10 hours to freeze before being used again. I like to have one in the morning and another in the afternoon which can't be done.
It's a surprisingly low tech concept and design so not sure where the $40 price tag is warranted. There must be some knock off's out there for less than half the price.
