Can you make cold brew coffee with this?

Yes! I use this exclusively to make cold brew coffee. It's a longer process, but you put about 1/3 cup grinds in with a full beaker of cold or room temperature filtered water. Put the lid on, but don't press down the plunger. Let the coffee steep overnight at room temperature (or for a full 24 hours in the fridge). In the morning, press the plunger down and you'll have a coffee concentrate to keep in your fridge. It's great over ice because it doesn't water down like hot coffee.

This does NOT make coffee concentrate...This makes cold brew coffee. They're not the same thing.

You could, the nozzles are close together so I just brew into the same cup. If you have small cups it could work.

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

No; it works great in that regard.I've been using the thing every day (at least once a day); mostly for cold brew, but also for hot French Press when I need an extra boost. It's been great.

No it does not brew cold coffee straight out of the machine. It needs to be brewed over a cup of ice. They do have discs made specifically for iced coffee. I think they are stronger than using just a regular coffee disc.

Yes, BUT, it's not FINE enough. You will get some sludge. If you are diligent and grind your coffee in larger grounds it might be okay. I abandoned mine.

Yes you can. But the little part that holds the coffee grounds is VERY small. I don't even use mine because of that.

I've never used cold water to make the espresso. However, I have made Iced coffee by pouring the hot espresso over ice and adding chilled water to taste. Put in a cup with a lid and shake gently. Very refreshing on hot days.

Yes, you can use reusable pod, buy tea I cups, or put a tea bag in the coffee cup and leave machine empty and just have it brew plain water

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

I don't think so and see no reason why cold brewing would increase the caffeine. I have been using it for 4 months and I have not noticed anything that would indicate the caffeine was higher. It is SUBSTANTIALLY lower in acid and tastes great.

No. You put in as much water as you need to make the amount of coffee you want. It all heats, pours through the grinds and becomes coffee.

Sorry, I have not tried it that way. I've only used a regular coffee maker with mine. I guess experiment is next.

I see no reason why you cannot, the unit comes with a round coffee filter basket for brewing full pots of coffee and also a conical basket for brewing individual cups of coffee, tea, etc. To be sure you might also ask that question to BrewExpress the manufacturer, according to their website they can be reached at 866.268.5953.

Freeze your coffee so it isn't watered down. I don't see why not. You'll have to play around with it. The machine is very loud and slow but I'm still liking it.
