The Hario Wine Bottle brewer is an immersion-style tool that focuses on material purity and simplicity. It uses borosilicate glass, which offers a thermal shock resistance of 120°C, making it safe for both hot and cold liquids. The spout is made from high-grade silicone that functions as both a leak-proof seal and a shock absorber. This "wine bottle" design allows the unit to be stored horizontally in the refrigerator when the silicone friction-fit spout is correctly engaged.
The filtration is provided by a 50-100 micron polypropylene mesh, which is excellent for capturing very fine tea dust. Because it has a high center of gravity when full, it is best handled with care. The glass surface is smooth, so being mindful of condensation—which can make it slippery—will help prevent accidental drops. The 750ml size is a standard tabletop volume, perfect for sharing a few glasses of cold-steeped tea.
- Non-porous borosilicate glass prevents flavor "ghosting."
- Removable spout and filter are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended).
- Compact footprint takes up minimal space on a dining table.
For those who prefer a more traditional pitcher shape with a handle, the Hario Mizudashi 1200ml provides a larger volume and easier grip. Find more high-quality steeping options in our cold brew tea infusers section.
