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!!!

Yes. doesn't work as well as some cups that are designed for it, but I do like putting them in the freezer for a while before I have a cold drink.

Yes- it is best with a coffee maker that has different brew strengths- I set mine on robust for the stronger flavor. It is also better if you use the reusable filter instead of te paper ones

Its not very hot at first. Hot but not very hot. The coffee will cool quick when poured into a cold mug.

Check out the reviews on the Farberware FCP412 , 378 out of 595 5 star ratings. I wouldn't consider that bad. I use the coldest filtered water I can get ahold of and make sure you are consistent with your grind and roast style. If you don't keep it the same you have to adjust the volume of beans.

No , this machine does not make cold coffee. What I do is I make regular coffe which comes out hot in the big cup then poor ice on the top and Ice coffe is served.

I actually have not used this mug for coffee, I have however used it for water and I'm not kidding when I say water stays cold for up to 24 hours. It's amazing. Sorry I couldn't help with the coffee question.

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'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.

I only drink Iced Coffee with it, but I would assume it would work. Heat the toddy mix first, then add hot water. Or it will be luke-warm...

I assume you are talking about after the coffee has been cold brewed and you are preparing to serve. I dilute it by half or less. I like really strong coffee! For iced coffee, I don't dilute at all, just pour the coffee straight over ice and add milk.

The coffee is brewed hot and drips down over measured ice in the carafe. We have been able to make strong iced coffee by adjusting coffee ground and ice amount.

Yes, there are two iced coffee settings, I believe. I can check when I get home. On these (and Keurigs), the iced coffee setting still makes the liquid hot. You just have to put a heat resistant glass or cup filled with ice under it.

Yes! I have used these for cold as well as hot coffee and hot tea. Never any problem!

As far as I know, all iced drinks are made hot, then let cool and ice added later. As far as I know, cool or cold water does not work well to extract flavor from coffee or tea. This machine won't allow you to pump the water (through the cartridge) into your cup unless and until the water is HOT.

I currently use it for ice coffee. The lid fits tightly and it has yet to leak. The jug is very lightweight and easy to pour and it fits just about anywhere in my fridge.

I found it to be effective only for cold beverages. It does not work well with hot beverages.
