It's really nicely made and the glass means that it's super easy ...
When I first took this out of the box I wasn't expecting it to be so heavy. It's really nicely made and the glass means that it's super easy to rinse out. Easy to put together too.However, filling the filter with coffee was kind of a challenge. I quickly figured out I needed a funnel. I grabbed a small one, and that worked much better. No more coffee spilled everywhere.I didn't realize that the bottom was a decorative removable plastic piece. It came off when I picked it up filled it with water and it was pretty heavy. It isn't necessary to have this on, and even though it looks nice, I threw it into the trash.The inside of the carafe is impossible to clean with your hand. It's tall and skinny. Sofar I have been able to rinse and swish soapy water around.The coffee is a little weaker than what I was making before as I was putting coffee and water in a glass overnight in the fridge and then straining out the grounds by pouring through a filter. I don't find any need to cut it with more water.I haven't had the chance to use it yet, and I didn't see it in the description, but the ice cube thing is a cool idea. It's hollow plastic that you fill with water and then screw into the lid where the filter goes. Cool ideaOverall this iced coffee carafe/maker is satisfactory. It would be really pretty laid out with fancy glasses and sandwiches for a lovely lunch with friends.

Easy to Handle
I do like this carafe, but almost wish it were a little bigger, but if it were it might not be as easy to handle with arthritic hands (mine). It is well made. The glass part is heavy enough to not break if you accidentally bump it against the counter (didn't try it). I had to rearrange the door of my refrigerator to accommodate the height. We have one of those side by side jobs and shelving is a booger. I saw where some reviews were complaining about no instructions...they are printed on the box. I took pictures of them in case my old brain forgot them. I will use this every day or every other day because I learned to like iced coffee from my grandparents and it stuck. As a teen I worked in a cafe and was taught to put a few ice cubes (small or cracked ice) in the glass pot along with a bit of water. You swish this around and it will remove the coffee line in the pot. I didn't have to do it this time, but thought I would mention it as some were discussing how to clean it. Sorry this is so long and unorganized. If I can do it later I will add the photos so those that missed the instructions can see them (pictures on cell and I am on desk top now).

Easy to use, great coffee!
I was very happy with this purchase of the cold brew coffee maker. I do not drink hot coffee however I like to have an iced coffee each morning. Most of the other cold brew coffee makers I have tried were very bulky and took up too much room in my refrigerator. The slim design of this product is great. It fits perfectly in the fridge without having to move everything around. This coffee maker was very simple to use and was made of good quality materials. The coffee it makes is definitely less acidic than traditional coffee and you get enough in each carafe for several cups. This product also comes with a great added option of freezing the center piece and using it to keep beverages cold. I could definitely see using this in the summer for iced tea or other cold drinks. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who is a cold brew fan or also for anyone looking to switch from hot coffee. Great product!

Smooth Cold Brew When You Want It
Until received this product, I had been making cold brew coffee with mixed results. Now that I have a dedicated carafe that makes smooth cold brew coffee every time, I will definitely be making more. One of my favorite features is the 360º pouring capabilities of this carafe. I was surprised at how simple and how good my coffee was. It has definitely saved me time in the morning because now I wake up, pour a cup of cold brew, add my creamer, and I am out the door. No more waiting to boil water for a cup of coffee. This is definitely fresher and cheaper than using pods. The design of this product is very sleek and you can tell they've thought of nearly everything. The bottom is built to capture condensation as it leaks down the outside of the bottle! I would recommend any person who enjoys cold brew to check out the Kitchen Sophisticate Airtight Cold Brew Coffee Making Carafe.

It’s beautiful but there could be some design improvements for daily ...
It’s beautiful but there could be some design improvements for daily user like myself. I fumble with it too much in the morning and that 360 degree pour spout is not smooth pouring and I can’t get a good seal on it. New weary of the condensation catcher as it splashed me while I am fumbling for first morning cup.It would be nice if there was a “fill line” marked so as not to overflow when setting filter top inside.However for price it’s beautiful especially for occasional entertaining.

Well thought out design!
Great customer service and awesome design! I had received the item with a broken lid and received a reply from them within minutes regarding this issue. They are sending out a new lid so I am so excited. Either way, the item was still usable. They literally thought of everything for this! Condensation catcher, ice cube tube to keep your coffee or tea cold in the summer, 360 pour spout. I read that people needed a funnel to fill the mesh screen with coffee but I think they didn't realize the bottom of it also screws off and has a bigger spout so you can use a measuring cup with a pour spout and easily fill it with no wasted coffee. Glad I didn't buy a funnel just for this lol

Don’t waste your money
Instructions are awful. Doesn’t tell you how much coffee to use. Had to try 4 times and every time it came out awful and wasted a bunch of coffee. Customer service was awful too. Took over a week to get back to me and even then they were no help
