Can this be used to cold brew coffee?

Absolutely! Put 8 scoops of leaves in the brewer, fill with hot tap water and let steep overnight in the fridge. In the morning, remove leaves and add sugar or honey to taste and you're done.

I've never done that but I suppose it could if you are talking some kind of instant coffee or the powdered kind such as Starbuck's sells.

I have not used this specific product for cold brewing, but I regularly use a different, larger Bodum French press to cold brew. I use the same amounts of grounds and water that I do for making hot coffee, but I let it set overnight or for at least 8 hours. Then I pour it over ice to drink. I think it makes great cold coffee.

yes, but don't recommend it. The whole purpose of the grind and brew is to have freshly ground beans for the most flavorful coffee.

I only use this for cold brew tea and coffee. For anything hot, I would be more comfortable using glass or ceramic container/carafe, unless the manufacturer would attest to its safety up to certain temperature.

Yes, that's what I use it for, as well as cold-brew coffee. It works great and makes a really pleasant, rich cup of coffee.

I use it for whole leaf cold brew tea. I think coffee grounds would go thru the mesh.

Conditionally.. If you use a fine ground coffee it might. I use a regular ground coffee and it does not or extremely little. I use a tip my grandmother used and that is to wet the basket before puting the coffee in and it works well for me. Now if you went to the store and ground your own coffee you could adjust the courseness and it would never be a concern. Big secret to the new generation that all the grand parents knew to great coffee with a percolator. You must must use cold water! The colder the better. If you do that you will most likely never go back to a dip coffee pot again. Good Luck. Conditionally.. If you use a fine ground coffee it might.

I don't see why not, the mesh is fine enough for a very fine grind coffee, tea leaf is generally larger than coffee. The tea leaf could make it difficult to press all the way down but backing it up a little and pressing down again should clear the screen for a full press. Myself I just put tea in a Qt jar in the fridge and have a concentrate that I use hot or cold.

I don't see why not. The infusing basket might be able to brew instant coffee too.

Yes. I use the Ekobrew Stainless Steel Reusable Cup to brew loose tea, homemade cocoa and my own ground coffee blends. Add your blend, brew, rinse and repeat for the next cup.

We have not tried any cold brew, but, it was advertised to accommodate any cold beverages, as well. I have no reason to think it wouldn't. Great product!!!

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law. I believe you can heat up the cold brew. Also, depending on how strong you like your coffee, you can dilute it with water and heat but do not boil. Technically, if you make it on the strong side, your cold brewed coffee will last longer because you will be diluting it!

You can still make coffee with it, but it won't have an even filter of water over the entire container of coffee. I would say yes, to have a great cup of coffee.

Yes - you can brew coffee and put in fridge for next day. It's hot or cold.

Think of it as a pot of coffee that was brewed cold that you can keep in the fridge.

you can but i would wait till it fills past the four cup mark.it takes a few cups to get the coffee warm enough.

I'm sorry but I have never used this product to make tea, only cold-brewed coffee.
