Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker

No, this coffee maker features a fine-mesh stainless steel filter designed to trap grounds while allowing the coffee oils to pass through. This eliminates the need for paper filters entirely, making the brewing process more sustainable and cost-effective.

For a smooth, low-acid concentrate, we recommend steeping your coarse coffee grounds in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. You can adjust the time based on your preference for strength—longer steeping times will result in a bolder, more concentrated flavor.

The carafe is made from high-quality, durable glass designed to withstand the daily rigors of the refrigerator and countertop. While it is sturdy, it is still glass, so it should be handled with standard care to avoid cracks or chips.

Yes, all components of the Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker, including the glass carafe and the stainless steel filter, are dishwasher safe. This makes cleanup straightforward and ensures you can easily remove any coffee residue between batches.

The flip-top lid is designed to be airtight and leak-proof. As long as the lid is securely snapped into place, you can safely store the carafe on its side or upright in your refrigerator without worrying about leaks.
