My favourite part about this Asobu brewer is that the process can take place right on the countertop, which I can't wait to test out once I'm travelling in a hotel with a tiny fridge (as all I'd need is ice from the machine to make my coffee cold).
I also had fun experimenting to find the exact perfect ratio. I like my brew fairly strong (with lots of ice), so I add a bit more than the actual directions suggest and let it steep for the full 24 hours. However, even when I added the suggested amount or cut the brewing process short, it was so much better tasting than the watered-down iced coffee one of my cold-brew drip-makers offered up. (And, while I've not tried it, I've heard it's possible to add hot water on top to brew tea here as well.)
Not only does this takes up less space than a traditional coffee maker, it looks cool sitting out on my countertop, and the thermos will be so useful once I'm spending more time outdoors more in warmer months. I'm not saying I'll never go back to the actual cafe, but I know this will be getting a lot of use in my household this summer.
Ahead, check out the four colours available to see which one fits in best in your iced-coffee-loving home, too.
