The Cold Brew Carafe
A glass and steel cold brewer for coffee or tea.
Cold brewing is the most “laid back” way to make coffee and tea. It’s easy to set up and it’s forgiving: it’s hard to truly make any mistakes. After an overnight steep in the refrigerator, you’re almost guaranteed a “smooth” result—which is what makes cold brew so distinct.
Our 1.25 liter borosilicate glass carafe is used with a laser etched stainless steel insert for cold brewing. Combined with a cork lid and silicone ring, air is kept out and flavor is kept in. The micro perforated steel insert allows water to mix with coffee and tea and keeps particles out of your brew. Simply add your dose of coffee or tea to the stainless steel insert, place the insert into the carafe, pour in your water through the grinds/leaves and stir—then you’re ready to cork and put in the fridge. After 12+ hours, you can remove the insert and start enjoying your cold brew. The carafe can be corked for keeping your brew fresh in the fridge.
Additionally the set works as an immersion brewer for making hot coffee or tea. For coffee, think of it as a “reverse French press” — you let the grinds steep with hot water, and then remove the steel insert to stop the brew immediately. Unlike a French Press, you don’t over extract the grinds at the bottom. For tea, the large steel insert allows your loose leaf leaves plenty of room to expand, and the insert allows for easy re-steeps.
A complete system for upgrading a Moccamaster to eliminate brewing plastics and increase coffee control.
The “Semi-Manual System” is an upgrade for the Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV/KGBT/KBT that allows you to eliminate the stock plastic brewing parts yet still brew a full 1.2 L batch. The performance matches that of the stock dripper—it will make delicious coffee—but without lingering coffee oils or risk of microplastics. The system also gives you more control over the brewing process by making it easy to rotate the dripper or stir the slurry for more even saturation. The corked carafe allows you to trap the heat when you’re done brewing, and bring some beauty to the breakfast table. Read more about the system here.
The Semi-Manual System parts:
The Bracket - a powder-coated bent steel bracket that allows you to use a wide array of pour-over drippers
The Dripper - a size 03 glass Hario v60 and a custom cork adapter
The Carafe - A custom-designed borosilicate glass pitcher with a cork lid that eliminates the stock plastic funnel and handle, while offering a more sophisticated aesthetic. The carafe also works with our accessories for the Slow System.
