Inexpensive, Efficient Way to Cold-brew Coffee
While I did look at cold-brew coffeemakers on Amazon (in late May/early June), I didn't buy one then. I was trying to decide on the nearly $35.00 Toddy system or the $6.00 Ronco system. In July, I bought the inexpensive Ronco Coffeetime Brew System at a discount store for the same price it is sold here on Amazon ($5.99). It successfully cold-brews coffee in about 10-12 hours' time.
My first attempts at making the cold-brewed coffee were merely trial-and-error moments that I have hopefully learned from. First of all, the Ronco Coffeetime Brew System comes with a recipe booklet (with directions for making standard cold-brewed coffee), a plastic brew pot (with lid), 2 felt filter pads, a rubber plug, and a plastic container with a screw-top lid. The cold-brewed coffee drips into that container and can be stored in the refrigerator.
For the first few batches, I used Maxwell House medium ground coffee, which was a dollar more than the Ronco coffeemaker. I put the plug...
Great cup of Joe
OMG . . . I stopped drinking coffee years ago because of the high acid content. This makes a great cup of coffee. It can be hard if you do not know how to plan ahead when make cold extracted beverages. Thankfully, that is not a problem because as soon as one pot is finished the next one is started. It helps to have several large glass bottles to store the brewed mix. One suggestion, it would be great if more than one stopper were provided with this set up. Back ups of small items that are meant to be removed is a good idea in case the item is misplaced. Also, suggestion of where to get new filter would have been great. The replacements bought on line were the wrong size.
Coffee filtration system
This is a great product for making anything with coffee. I was suffering with acid reflux and after using it for making my iced blended mochas I no longer have the reflux.
