Detailed Description of Takeya Coffee Maker

The Cold Brew Coffee Maker is a simple yet effective way to make cold brew coffee at home. To use, simply add coarsely ground coffee to the filter, fill the pitcher with water, and let it steep in the fridge for 24-36 hours. The fine-mesh filter keeps the coffee grounds out of your drink, while the airtight lid ensures that your coffee stays fresh for up to two weeks. The pitcher is made of BPA-free Tritan material, which is shatterproof and safe to use in the dishwasher. Its leak-proof design makes it easy to pour and serve your cold brew coffee without any mess.

USE + CARE

Cold Brew Coffee Maker
All components are dishwasher safe. We recommend washing all components with soap and warm water before initial use and after every use.
Infuser
To remove ground coffee from the infuser, turn upside down and tap under running water. For deep cleaning, soak in a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar, then clean with soap and water.
O-Rings
Check that the o-ring seal is properly placed on the lid and between handle assembly and body to prevent leakage.

DO NOT fully tighten lid, shake or lay on its side when hot. DO NOT freeze or microwave.

COLD BREW

Taste the difference with Takeya’s Cold Brew Coffee Maker. The traditional hot brewing process releases undesirable acids and oils, resulting in bitter flavor and acidity that is intolerable to many. With cold brewing, only the naturally delicious coffee flavors are extracted, leaving behind the bitter oils and fatty acids, creating a perfectly balanced, smooth extraction of concentrated coffee. Once brewed, concentrated coffee can be kept fresh in the Takeya airtight Cold Brew Coffee Maker for up to 2 weeks and used for both hot and iced coffees.

COFFEE BREW INSTRUCTIONS

ADD COFFEE
Add 14-16 tablespoons of your favorite medium roast, coarsely ground coffee to the infuser, then twist into lid.
BREW
- Add 32 ounces of cold, filtered water to the Takeya pitcher, fill 3/4 full, then lower infuser into water.
- Seal lid airtight, shake well and store in refrigerator overnight or up to 36 hours to cold brew. Occasionally twist open and swirl infuser.
- Remove infuser when brewing is complete. The result will be a brew of concentrated coffee.
SERVE HOT OR COLD
- Hot Coffee : mix 1 part coffee concentrate with 2 parts boiling water. If desired add sweetener and creamer of your choice.

Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble with your Takeya Coffee Maker, here are some common problems and solutions

The coffee is too weak: Make sure you're using the right ratio of coffee to water (we recommend 1 cup of coffee to 4 cups of water). You can also try steeping the coffee for longer.
The coffee is too strong: Make sure you're not using too much coffee or steeping it for too long. You can also try using a coarser grind of coffee.
The coffee is cloudy: This is normal for cold brew coffee. The cloudiness is caused by tiny particles of coffee that have passed through the filter. If it bothers you, you can strain the coffee through a paper filter before serving.
The lid is leaking: Make sure the lid is securely closed and locked. If the lid still leaks, check for any damage or cracks.
