The Ovalware RJ3 is a 1.0L (34oz) brewer that emphasizes flavor retention and elegant design. It features laboratory-grade borosilicate glass, which is specifically treated to resist thermal shock. This makes it a versatile tool for those who like to start their brew with hot water before moving it to the fridge. The filtration is handled by an 80-micron dual-mesh stainless steel filter, which is fine enough to prevent "sludge" while allowing the natural oils of the coffee or tea to pass through for a fuller flavor.
The 1.0L footprint is specifically optimized for standard refrigerator door shelving, measuring approximately 3.7 inches at the base. Because the glass is thin to remain lightweight, it should be handled with care on stone or quartz countertops to avoid chips. The silicone gasket provides a friction-fit seal that helps keep your brew fresh by limiting exposure to air.
Practical Usage Notes
- Best results are achieved using a coarse grind to ensure the fine mesh does not clog.
- Drying the silicone ring before sealing prevents the lid from sticking due to suction lock.
- Removable filter allows the carafe to serve as a standalone beverage pitcher.
For those who need a larger volume while maintaining the glass aesthetic, the Aquach 51-Ounce System offers significantly more capacity. You can find this and other similar items in our collection of cold brew tea infusers.
