USE + CARE
Cold Brew Coffee Maker
All components are dishwasher safe.
We recommend washing all components with soap and warm water before initial use and after every use.
Infuser
To remove ground coffee from the infuser, turn it upside down and tap under running water. For deep cleaning, soak in a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar, then clean with soap and water.
O-Rings
Check that the o-ring seal is properly placed on the lid and between the handle assembly and body to prevent leakage.
COLD BREW
Taste the difference with Takeya’s Cold Brew Coffee Maker. The traditional hot brewing process releases undesirable acids and oils, resulting in a bitter flavor and acidity that is intolerable to many. With cold brewing, only the naturally delicious coffee flavors are extracted, leaving behind the bitter oils and fatty acids, creating a perfectly balanced, smooth extraction of concentrated coffee. Once brewed, concentrated coffee can be kept fresh in the Takeya airtight Cold Brew Coffee Maker for up to 2 weeks and used for both hot and iced coffees.
FEATURES
- Coffee concentrate stays fresh with the airtight lid
- Stores in fridge door
- Leakproof, airtight lid, stores upright or on its side
COFFEE BREW INSTRUCTIONS
ADD COFFEE
Add 14-16 tablespoons of your favorite medium roast, coarsely ground coffee to the infuser, then twist into lid.
BREW
Add 32 ounces of cold, filtered water to the Takeya pitcher, fill 3/4 full, then lower the infuser into the water.
Seal lid airtight, shake well, and store in refrigerator overnight or up to 36 hours to cold brew. Occasionally twist open and swirl the infuser.
Remove the infuser when brewing is complete. The result will be a brew of concentrated coffee.

Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker-FAQs
How do I use the Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker?
Fill the pitcher with about 4½ cups of cold, filtered water, insert the coffee filter with grounds, seal the lid tightly, shake gently to moisten, and refrigerate for 12–24 hours.
How long does Takeya cold brew last once made?
Properly stored in the refrigerator, cold brew coffee can stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
What is the ideal coffee-to-water ratio?
A common ratio is 1 part coffee to 8 parts water, but you can adjust based on taste preference.
What grind size works best for cold brew?
A medium-coarse grind is recommended for smooth flavor and easy filtration.
Should I use hot or cold water for brewing?
Always use cold or room-temperature filtered water. Hot water is not suitable for cold brew.
Why does my cold brew taste cloudy or bitter?

Rinse under running water, tap gently to remove grounds, and for deep cleaning, soak in a 50/50 vinegar-water solution before washing with soap.

What kind of coffee beans are best for cold brew?
Medium to dark roast beans work well, as they produce a bold, smooth flavor even when diluted.
