Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to plastic carafe-style brewers, this KitchenAid model offers significantly better flavor preservation due to its non-porous glass construction. It avoids the chemical leaching concerns often associated with cheaper polycarbonate alternatives. Unlike immersion bags or mesh socks, the integrated stainless steel tap allows for a seamless pour directly from the refrigerator without the need to lift or tilt a heavy container.

What to know before buying

1. Grind your coffee beans to a coarse consistency, similar to sea salt, to prevent sediment from passing through the mesh.
2. Fill the stainless steel steeper with coffee grounds and slowly pour cold water over them in a circular motion.
3. Allow the coffee to steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours depending on your desired strength.
4. Once steeping is complete, remove the steeper using the built-in handle to stop the brewing process.
5. Use the built-in tap to dispense the concentrate, typically mixing one part concentrate with three parts water or milk.
