Anyone out there use one of these things? The "Cuisine at Home" people rate it rather highly (see

Any opinions? Thanks in advance.

You don't need one. You can use a 2-litre soft drink bottle (empty and cleaned, of course) with
great results.

My mom has one. She loves hers. I tried it and was nonplussed. Of course, since we've begun roasting
green coffee... nothing compares to that. Maybe if she'd used some of 'our' beans I might have liked
it better... I dunno.

How would I do that, Miche? I think that might be a good method for making coffee to use in
iced ocffee.

Thanks! Wayne

Put 3/4 pound (375g) of coffee grounds in the bottle. Fill it to the top with cold water. Shake it
up and leave it in the fridge for a couple of days, giving it another shake a couple of times a day.
Decant the liquid off and use it at about 30ml (1 fl oz) per cup.

Do you mean making a concentrated liquid?

My Aunt and my Mom used to do this. They said they could always make a cup of coffee that tasted
fresh, instead of brewing a whole pot and having the last have get stale and burned as the
morning went on.

Me, I'd just as soon make a cup fresh with my cone filter.

Do you filter it, or just pour it off the grounds?

Thanks!
