Hand Built Coffee is dedicated to helping coffee drinkers enjoy the art of delicious coffee at home or at the office. Making great coffee with your own hands is satisfying for your soul, wallet and your taste buds. Our cold brew coffee kit is one of our simplest products, consisting of just a filter and a one quart mason jar. Nothing fancy or over designed - just a simple way to make delicious cold brew coffee with durable parts. Let’s be honest, a hot cup of coffee just isn’t appealing on a hot day! Taking that cup of hot coffee and dumping ice into it to make “ice coffee” is a bad idea too. Removing the use of heat from coffee brewing has the effect of removing harsh bitterness. The taste of cold brew coffee is mellow, complex and has a pleasing subtleness that is really delicious. A few features that sets our kit apart from others include: * 150 micron mesh filter is made of corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel * Dishwasher-safe filter and glass container - Wide mouth jar opening for easy cleaning * Ample size filter can hold up to 2 cups of medium ground coffee * Silicone seal for leak resistant transport * Registered owners receive detailed instructions and more than 50 recipes Can cold brew coffee really change your life? Yes! We don’t want to brag, but here’s a few ways your life might improve when you use our Hand Built Cold Brew Coffee Maker Kit: * Enjoy your daily cup on your own schedule because cold brew coffee waits for you after it’s been brewed. Make your concentrate and then leave it in the fridge for two weeks or until you don’t think it tastes fresh. * Use different coffee blends or coffee from different regions to find the flavors you like. * Scientific studies show cold brew coffee has lower acidity -approximately 67% less acidic than hot brewed. * Coffee experts say lower acidity reveals natural sweetness. * Discover new coffee flavors that wouldn’t be apparent through traditional hot brewing.

Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! (5)
Just drank my first brew this AM. I have been using a cold brew coffee bag (available on Amazon) that worked but required more clean up. I used the hemp bag in a 2 quart pitcher. The Hand Built is 1 quart. It is very efficient, simple and easy to use and clean up afterwards. My coffee cups are 14 oz. This morning I heated one cup and saved the remainder for later.I don't like diluting my coffee; I know is the technical difference between Expresso and Americano but it doesn't appeal to me.I used 1/4 cup of grinds and filled the jar with water. I like my coffee fairly strong. The recipe included recommended 1 cup to 3 cups water! That would result in Expresso strength (IMHO) or to my taste.I have been using an Aero Press which Wired Mag. described as being the least fussy way to make fussy coffee; but I think the Hand Built jar is even less fussy and it takes coffee making to the "cold brew" level.I heat one cup on the stove (not microwave) and can either drink the remainder later cold or heat.Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! (5)update: I have switched back and forth between drip, Aero Press and Hand Built Cold brew over the last few months AND the Cold Brew has more flavor and is smoother. I put away the Aero Press and donated the Drip machine.

Tasty coffee from such an easy to use kit.
So Simple and such a great idea! The Hand Built Coffee cold brew kit arrived in excellent condition, ready to use. I really appreciated the e-mail that preceded it with information (via a link to two useful PDFs) about how to use the kit and a bunch of different recipes that I'm ready to try out. I love that the Bulletproof coffee recipe was included. I've been trying to perfect that for a while now.

Great simple design
Great simple design. Uses a standard mason jar so all you really need is the screen filter insert. We have two mason jars or cold brew going at all times so we technically never run out. I get coarse ground beans and have only very slight amount of grounds seep into the coffee but haven't noticed anything in the flavor or consistency that makes me dislike this product

don't buy it.
you get a mason jar with a filter in it - that is about 10 times the cost of buying this at a store - and you have no instructions nor do you have a recipe to tell you the ratio on making the coffee. A total rip off
