Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker

For the best flavor, you should steep your coffee grounds in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. The longer the steeping time, the stronger and more concentrated your cold brew will be.

This device is specifically designed for the cold brewing process, which relies on time rather than heat to extract flavor. While you can use the resulting concentrate to make hot coffee by adding boiling water, the maker itself is not intended to brew hot coffee directly.

The stainless steel filter is designed to keep the vast majority of grounds out of your brew. However, because cold brew uses a coarse grind, you may occasionally see a very small amount of fine sediment at the bottom of your carafe, which is typical for mesh-filter brewing methods.

You should use a coarse grind, similar to what you would use for a French press. Using a fine or medium grind can cause the filter to clog and may result in a gritty texture in your final cup.

Yes, the components of the Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker are dishwasher safe. For the longest lifespan of the stainless steel filter, we recommend rinsing it thoroughly after each use to prevent oils from building up over time.
