This is the original cold brewing system. The carafe in this product is made of Polycarbonate instead of glass, and so is virtually indestructible while imparting no flavor at all to the coffee. The exclusive “tip’n’pour” flask is also a real plus.
If you want to reduce the natural acidity from your coffee, Filtron's Cold Water Brewer is the system for you. It is ideal for people with sensitive stomachs. The best part of the system is the great coffee. It's perfect for hot coffee, iced coffee and blended coffee drinks.
