Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I you like cold brew coffee, this is a easy unit to use and provides good tasting coffee. I have another unit to make cold brew coffee, the Toddy Cold Brew Coffee Maker, and it also makes good coffee, but it has some drawbacks that the Takeya doesn't have. You don't have to buy additional filters for the Takeya, you don't have to wait for the coffee to drip through the filter and overall it is a little easier to work with. If you've never had cold brew coffee, it has a different taste. Although there is still some acid in the coffee produced, it is considerably less acidic than hot brewed coffee, and this gives it a smoother taste. Many people miss the acid taste of hot brew coffee but if you aren't one of those you and your body will appreciate less acid in the coffee. It is especially good in ice coffee in the summer. I try to keep some on hand for guests and also drink it myself as a nice change of pace.
