    My cold brew coffee pot.

    It makes about 2.2 US quarts of cold brew in a batch. It’s plastic, but I’ve used it consistently for over 6 or 7 years now.

    It has a center sleeve/filter for putting grounds in. They should be coarse ground, but I’ve used Cafe Bustelo (espresso ground brick) and had good results.

    Just let it soak for a day or two in cold water.

    Now, I don’t use it per the instructions. After it has appropriately steeped, I pull out the filter, empty it, rinse it, and put the empty filter in a 2qt pitcher, and run the coffee from the brew pitcher into it. This leaves a little extra which goes right into my cup.

    I then immediately prepare a new brew pitcher and drink out of the 2qt.

    That cost me $30 back then, and I brew 2-3 pitchers per week. I don’t know what that works out to in Large Dunkin’s, but I’m sure it has paid for itself, several times over.

      We may have the same one, is it shaped like a lab flask? Love it. I agree any grind works, and I double filter through cloth.

        No, I think mine was called a Primula. Want to say I bought it at JC Penny. Not sure if they still make the same model. This one came with a tea/fruit infusion sleeve too but I never used that. If I want to make cold brew tea I just get a dozen or so (black) teabags into a 2qt and let those steep overnight.
