Cold Brew Coffee Maker & Carafe<\/a><\/p>\n

Research<\/h5>\n

Like most humans these days, I love a good cup of coffee. I am a completely non-functional blob before my daily dose of caffeine. Warm weather is quickly approaching over here in Brooklyn, and that can only mean one thing for us coffee addicts: it\u2019s cold brew time. I drink my fair share of cold brew and have absolutely no idea how it is created<\/a>, so what better way to find out than to test this handy-dandy Cold Brew Coffee Maker & Carafe<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Hypothesis<\/h5>\n

I\u2019m going to make some dope cold brew coffee that will keep me caffeinated until the end of time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Betcha dollars to donuts your grocery store grounds don’t come with a piece of art made from dried banana tree bark.<\/p><\/div>\n

Experiment<\/h5>\n

First things first, the packing and actual product is so gorgeous! It\u2019s super sleek and definitely something I\u2019m proud to show off in my kitchen. Second things second, I realized I needed to actually have some ground coffee to make this cold brew. I used the ground Coffee Beans for a Better World<\/a>, which support women and schoolchildren in Kenya and come with a really cool handmade piece of art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once the apparatus was out of its packaging, I read the directions and realized this cold brew takes a REALLY long time to make. And by really long I mean you only have to leave it in there overnight but I was extremely excited and wanted to drink it then and there.<\/p>\n

I have zero cooking or drink-making ability so when I tell you this was unbelievably easy to make you\u2019ve gotta know it\u2019s the truth. All I needed to do was put the coffee grounds in the top filter and pour some water over the top of it a few times and then close the lid and wait. That\u2019s. It. AMAZING!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next morning I awoke to a freshly cold brewed batch of coffee. The only step I had to do was press a single button and the coffee flowed into the portable carafe attached to the bottom of the brewing device. I will say the only thing that I didn\u2019t realize is that I\u2019d need to either refrigerate the cold brew or pop in some ice in order for it to actually be cold. But all in all that\u2019s really not a big deal because I took a sip of this stuff and it was magical.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Don’t forget to pop your brew in the fridge (or add ice) once it’s done for deliciously cool flava.<\/p><\/div>\n

Conclusion<\/h5>\n

I did it. I made some dope cold brew. It was way easier than I expected and I\u2019ve used it a few times a week since I first got it. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants an easy way to make a full carafe of cold brew with basically no effort put into the process. Caffeine for all!<\/p>\n
