Would this product work well for cold brewing?

it doesn't even work well for hot coffee. The screen has too much coverage to strain properly

I have used it only with boiling water over the grounds. Strictly speaking, the French Press is not brewing, it is more of an infusion. I think cold water over grounds would give you a pallid coffee with a pallid flavor.

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.

Good question. It is really designed for hot brewing, which the Bodum press is good at. I bought one recently to replace one that I used for many years previously until the glass cracked. I've never done cold brewing before. From what I recall reading, most people who cold brew do it in larger quantities than the 12-oz Bodum can handle.

Hello Chenyi, This coffee pot was intended for cold use only. The reason being that the fine mesh filter soaks in the water to infuse a concentrated flavor. If you buy a coffee press, this is intended for hot coffee but can be used for cold. The press is the ultimate for hot coffee, and the cold brew Japanese method for cold.

I actually brew myself. If you're looking to use this to just bottle your already-carbonated beer, you'll be perfectly fine. As far as carbonating your beer via priming sugars in this growler goes, I'm not really sure. The seal seems similar to other seals I've used in the past for priming sugar carbonation so I think you'd be fine as long as you get your measurements right. I wouldn't put in too much more than about 2-3 tablespoons if you're looking to go that route.Hope that helped!

After I purchased it for my Espresso machine, got info that it could be injurious for the brewing part of the machine. Never used it.Cleancaf and Dezcal (both by urnex) seem to work ok.

WRT home brew, chances are that if they are bottling they are carbonating in bottle, meaning that there is a yeast ring at the bottom. Chilling the beer "freezes" the yeast to the bottom (makes it drop out and stick to the bottom), and if the beer is warm the yeast will suspend like a hefeweizen, which is not terrible pleasant for most beer styles. So go with caution. Personally I would not use this product for homebrew. This seems perfect for Bud, Miller, Coors and other beers consumed from bottle where as the complexity of home and microbrews are best experienced from proper glassware (not a shelf friendly pint glass, but I am sure Amazon has plenty of specialty glasses to consider.

I'd only recommend for cold beverages. Copper would conduct the heat more and would likely make the handle too hot to hold.

I think it would work great. My coffee stays very hot and my ice water has I've at the end of the day. The hook top seals the theos much tighter than than the one you can drink from.

I doubt it. The ideal temp to brew kombucha is in the 80's. I know cold temps can harm it but I'm not sure about high ones though.

I have made coffee in a friends cold tea brewer and the two devices differ in that this one has a much finer filter. In my friends tea brewer, coffee grounds sometimes slip through. I assume, the finer mesh in the hario will trap more particles, but brew slower as a result. Other than that it'd be fine.

I used cold, since I like iced coffee and cooler coffee. I would think both would work well, just depends on the temperature you like your coffee.

There is another question similar to yours on the product page, you may want to read it. There are 13 answers at last count. The consensus is that it excellent for making Ginger Beer. I have not used it for that myself so can't give an opinion.

It will -- but the temperature range is too high for brewing beer. The markings will be difficult for you to read at lower temperatures. Something like this: 1 X Brewcraft 12" Ss Dial Thermometer Homebrew Brew Kettle Brew Pot will be more what you're looking for.

I bought a cheap coffee pot and brew it in that. I make two and one half 12 cup pots using one of the bags. It is strong enough for us like this. However, I do put the last half pot (6 cups) through twice to get a stronger brew. I make it all at once. It is best over ice when totally cooled. I am very happy with the product. Buris Anne

Yes but the beer you put in should be cold first. It excellent at holding the tempature so if you put warm beer in it, even in the fridge it will take awhile to get it cold.

I have no idea. probably need to contact the manufacturer to find out. I have used mine for continuous kombucha brewing without any problems.

I would use it, remembering that it is espresso, of course. I have used it to make iced coffee, like a Frappuccino to fortify weakly brewed coffee.
