Altura The TUBE+ Cold Brew Coffee Maker and Tea Infuser for Wide Mouth Mason Jars - Stainless Steel Cold Brew Filter Strainer for Iced Coffee, Fruit Water & More - (64oz/2qt)

Efficient way to make cold brew at home. And we like the flavor better than buying bottles of premade cold brew at the grocery, not to mention the cost savings. I first tried these 5 years ago. Just love how they work to make my own cold brew. I did run into a problem early on in keeping them unclogged, but have come up with a cleaning method that works great. On a daily basis, just dump the grounds in the trash then use the sprayer at the sink to thoroughly rinse inside and out. Then put them in the dishwasher, upper rack. If they start looking grungy, I'll soak them in a bit of Urnex coffee pot cleaner for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and put them in the dishwasher. These seem to be the easiest and best way to make cold brew at home.

Cold Brew Coffee Maker for Wide Mouth Mason Jar is a wonderful item for those interested in making cold brew coffee at home! It comfortably sits in a 64oz mason jar, a perfect fit for better volumes. The style is basic but works well since it allows good flavor with every cup. The mesh filter makes certain that the coffee ground are held in place resulting in a nice cold brew. It’s also quite easy to maintain and very sturdy so I suggest directing high-pressure water from the outside towards the inside to help keep the filter clean. This coffee maker is a must-have for anyone who loves to drink cold brew and I do not even want to think how would I be brewing without this one. Definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to brew their own cold brew!

I went through 2 Takeya cold brew coffee pitchers. The fittings and filters lasted, but the Takeya pitchers cracked, turning the whole set into a bunch of plastic trash. I'm trying to get away from plastic anyway (not to mention getting away from buying stuff that will only last a year or two). I love that this is stainless & silicone. I love that it fits a wide-mouth mason jar. I love how well-made it is: the seam is rolled and pressed tightly for a smooth finish, the bottom is fitted securely, and the mesh is very fine. I usually use it in a quart jar for fresher cold brew, but when expecting guests I make 1/2 gallon. Some reviewers say the jar lid can't fit using the gasket, or that the gasket leaks... I never had either problem. I wonder if they noticed that the gasket has a slit? It fits around the upper rim, so 1/2 thickness is between the filter and the jar lid, and 1/2 the thickness is between the underside of the filter lip and the glass jar rim. Clever, and it works perfectly.

I’ve been using the Tube+ for over a year. A 64oz mason jar usually makes three days’ worth of cold brew for me. While the product works quite well, after 100+ uses the fine mesh is clogged and seems impossible to fully clean. I’ve tried compressed air, a fine brush, higher pressure water, etc, and my filter still has a lot of clogged particles that just sort of smell burnt. It’s gotten so bad that I’ll be ordering another to replace my original. You genuinely can’t beat this product for price to performance, but keep in mind that the filter likely has a finite number of uses unless you know some sort of mesh cleaning magic.

Very easy to get the grinds out. A bit of sediment left in the bottom of the mason jar, but if you give it a shake before pouring I don't even notice.

I bought this product after experiencing Cold Brew for the first time and I have NEVER looked back. Just today this product died after two years of VERY heavy use. I would brew a 64oz mason jar of Cold Brew twice a week, sometimes 3 times even, without a break and the coffee always came out pure, clean, and free of coffee bean that can sour any caffeinated journey, while maintaining a high quality of flavor that made it through. The Pro's: Easy to use! Just throw it in the jar, add 2-4 scoops of your favorite coffee (I did the Colombian Roast) and add water. Refrigerate overnight for 12 hours and you have a full pot! The Con: Cleaning it was a bit of a pain, though hardly unmanageable, and it did gain some stains from constant use. Good Product, good results, and good coffee, what more can you ask for? Would recommend!

Works as it should! Happy with this purchase.

I bought this item on June 1, 2018. It was delivered promptly and I immediately put it to use. I am not a coffee drinker but drink tea, daily (both hot and cold). My favorite type of tea is masala chai. I make up a half gallon at a time. I boil the tea five minutes, add the whole milk, then bring to a boil, again. Then I pour it from the pan into the half gallon wide mouth mason jar that has "the tube" inside. I use the infuser as a filter. Hardly anything gets through the tube. It is extremely well made. In addition to filtering even the fine stuff, it is EXTREMELY easy to clean. After filling the mason jar, I slip the tube out (using my rubber insulated grill gloves as the boiling water is HOT). I gently dump the "grounds" into the waste basket and simply rinse the tube under the hot water faucet. It cleans so easily (not like other infuser's I have used. I like this so much that I recently bought another one for a friend. It also works extremely well as a direct infuser for bulk whole leaf tea for cold brewing. Yeah, I have both Masala Chai AND cold brewed British Blend for both iced tea and hot tea in the frig at all times. Hey! Who knows when a friend might drop by(:>)).

Definitely a much more substantial and harder-wearing product than it's much cheaper Chinese-sourced equivalent (I have bought both). However the cheaper one achieves effectively the same degree of filtration, it would appear... I liked the guidance and free downloadable book with this.

Works exactly as described: cold brew concentrate overnight. Note: don't set this up right at bedtime; I find I need to stir the grounds about an hour in, because a lot of them have floated to the top and aren't soaking fully. Leaves a bit of sediment in the bottom but nothing you can't let settle and pour off from. I find PC regular grind coffee is good enough for me using this; no need to spring for $20 / pound stuff.

I started making cold brew coffee a few months ago using a nut milk bag and mason jar. I found this setup to be messy, slow, and difficult to keep grounds from appearing in the finished product. I picked up the Tube+ and couldn’t be happier! It’s super easy to use, strains well, and is a cinch to clean. My cold brewhad never looked or tasted better!

I used it to make cold brew coffee for this entire summer, a good maker for a group of friends to enjoy

This is advertised for use in a 1 qt mason jar but works just as well in my 2 qt mason jar. I use 1 cup of grounds but this will hold 2 cups, although you may not be able to fill with enough water to wet the surface of the grounds. It is advertised as having a heavier, denser screen than others like it and it does. I have a taller one made specifically for a 2 qt mason jar and this one has a finer, closer weave. This one maybe even be twice as thick and dense.
