Product Description
Why Hourglass Cold Brew?The high heat and fast brew times of hot brew coffee makers create bitter coffee that???s high in acid and hard on the stomach; forcing an estimated 40 million adults in the U.S. to reduce or eliminate their daily cup of coffee. The patented Hourglass coffee maker solves this problem, with coldbrewing. Because delicate coffee beans are not exposed to heat, bitter acids and oils are never released. The result is a pure coffee extract with 69.6… More >>

Buy these things called T-Sacs, they are meant for brewing tea, but work great for cold brew… get large ones, Size 4. They are like large tea bags. Put your grounds in the T-Sacs (coffee should be loose in the sac), tie a knot in the top, add to container of cold water, and there you have it. If you make a lot of cold brew, use more of the T-Sacs. Wait the 12 hours or so and then toss the T-Sacs. No cheese cloth, no mess. I don’t work for T-Sac, I own 2 cafes, and this is how I make cold brew at home. In our cafes, we use commercial filter bags from Toddy. If you need to make a lot of cold brew. say by the gallons for a party, their filters are the right size.

If you already love the smooth taste of cold brewed coffee, you will never go back to brewing coffee after using this machine. For too long, I made cold brewed coffee by putting grounds and water in a big jar and then straining it through coffee filters. I ended up with as much coffee on the kitchen counter as I did in my cup. The hourglass cold brew system is a delight. It’s made from BPA free plastic and is simple and clean to use. All you do is measure the grounds and water into one of the brew chambers and then let it sit on your counter for 12 hours. When done, you simply turn it over and the grounds stay in the brew chamber and the coffee runs into the second brew chamber. Done! No mess! The directions say you can re-use the grounds if you put more water in right away. I’ve done this every time and the second batch tastes just as good as the first. All in all, I think by using the grounds twice, the system becomes quite economical. I read the reviews of the other systems and decided to spring for the Hourglass because even though it is more expensive, it seems to have addressed the issues that other reviewers complained about (no lid on the fridge container, plastic, etc.) This machine is worth every penny.

I bought this maker a few months ago and absolutely love it. I have missed drinking coffee due to my acid reflux and the Hourglass makes low acid coffee which I love and it’s the only way I can drink coffee. I have used other cold brew makers but they are so complicated and messy I stopped using them after a month or so. The Hourglass is easy to use, easy to clean and allows me to re-enjoy coffee again.
I drink the cold brew hot (by adding hot water) but my daughter loves the iced coffee she can make. It’s very versatile and I love the comments I get when people come over and see a giant hourglass on my counter.
Try this coffee maker!

Maybe it is just the one I received, but this thing leaks something awful. I do not have it too tight or too loose. I tried it different ways. I have no problem reading instructions either. I suppose this one might be defective but I am sending it back. I did not buy it from Amazon but from Cutlery and More. Not crazy that I have to pay return shipping either. I am going to try the Filtron, as the cold brewed coffee is quite good. I just lose most of it all over my counter with this brewer.
