The Penguin infuser is a professional-grade component made for high-volume immersion brewing. Unlike decorative steepers, this basket uses a photo-etched 304 stainless steel mesh. This process creates a very precise hole pattern that maintains structural integrity and prevents the seams from bursting even when packed with wet coffee grounds or heavy fruit slices. It is built to fit wide-mouth vessels, requiring an opening of at least 3.2 inches to accommodate the rim.
This infuser is particularly helpful for those who want to use their existing large pitchers for brewing. The large surface area allows for even extraction, which is critical for achieving a consistent flavor profile in cold brew. To maintain the filter, a quick rinse under high pressure is usually sufficient to clear the micro-mesh of any lingering oils.
- The reinforced rim-lip ensures the basket sits securely on the edge of the vessel.
- 304 stainless steel is resistant to the acids found in citrus and coffee.
- Travel-friendly design fits easily into a bag for camping or vacation brewing.
If you prefer a complete kit that includes the vessel, the GMSWEET 64oz Mason Jar System provides a compatible jar and lid. For more ways to organize your kitchen essentials, browse our beverage bottle organizers.
