The Mixpresso 44oz brewer is a reliable choice that uses high-clarity borosilicate glass. This type of glass is resistant to thermal shock, which means you can safely use it for "hot-bloom" techniques where you start your cold brew with a hot pour. The system includes a 304-grade stainless steel filter with a 150-micron mesh, which is effective at reducing sediment in the final beverage. While the gross volume is 44oz, the functional brewing capacity with the filter inserted is about 36 to 38oz.
The lid features a silicone gasket that maintains a tight seal to reduce oxidation during the long steeping process. To keep the flow rate at its best, a periodic soak in a vinegar and water solution can help remove any micro-oils that might build up in the fine mesh. The plastic handle is attached to the collar of the glass neck; for the best durability, avoid aggressive stirring while the filter is seated to minimize lateral stress.
Using a burr grinder to achieve a strictly coarse grind will result in the clearest coffee with this filter.
For those who need a larger capacity in a glass brewer, the Aquach 51oz Brewer offers more volume. You can find more versatile options in our cold brew tea infusers category.
