PARTS & FEATURES
USING YOUR Cold Brew Maker
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before first use, remove all packaging material, thoroughly clean the Rapid Cold Brew Maker, and wipe down all parts of the Cold Brew Maker with a moist cloth. Before the first brew, fill the carafe with water and run a regular cycle. Discard this water afterward.
- To add coffee grounds, place the Reusable Filter on a countertop or other stable surface. Fill up to the Max line, 6.5 ounces (photo A). Close the filter by attaching the Grounds Container Lid and turning the lid clockwise.
- Place the Reusable Filter inside the Hopper. Close the Hopper by attaching the Hopper Lid and turning clockwise—there will be a click when it is properly closed and locked. Place the Hopper on top of the base of the Cold Brew Maker, aligning the bottom of the Hopper with the indent on top of the base (photo B). You may have to push down for the Hopper to be firmly attached to the base (listen for a click).
- Fill the Carafe with your desired amount of cold water and close it with the Carafe Lid (photo C).
- Slide the Carafe into the main slot of the Cold Brew Maker until you hear and feel a click. The Start/Stop button will illuminate when the Carafe is properly in place (photo D). Note: The Hopper and Carafe must be in place for the Start/Stop button to illuminate. If the button won’t light up, make sure the Cold Brew Maker is plugged in and check the positioning of both the Hopper and Carafe.
- Select the strength of your brew (Mild, Regular, or Bold) (photo E) and press Start/Stop to make your cold brew. The Indicator Light will let you know when your cold brew is ready, and the Cold Brew Maker will automatically shut off when it’s finished brewing.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The Rapid Cold Brew Maker is NOT dishwasher safe. Clean all parts by hand with soap and water. Make sure all parts are dry before storing.
- The cleaning brush that came with your unit can be used to clean the Carafe Lid’s tube (photo A).

Dash DCBCM400 Rapid Cold Brew Maker-FAQs
What is the Dash DCBCM400 Rapid Cold Brew Maker used for?
The Dash DCBCM400 Rapid Cold Brew Maker is designed to quickly prepare cold brew coffee without the traditional 12–24 hour steeping process. Using vacuum-powered brewing technology, it produces smooth cold brew in minutes. It also makes iced tea, offering a fast, convenient alternative to manual brewing at home.
How fast does the Dash Rapid Cold Brew Maker brew coffee?
The machine can brew cold coffee in as little as 8 to 17 minutes, depending on the selected strength setting. Mild brews take around 8 minutes, regular about 12 minutes, and bold around 17 minutes, making it significantly faster than traditional overnight cold brew preparation.
What capacity does the Dash DCBCM400 cold brew maker have?
The Dash DCBCM400 features a 40-ounce carafe, allowing users to prepare multiple servings of cold brew in one cycle. Because coffee grounds absorb some liquid during brewing, the final volume may be slightly less than the water added, typically around 35 ounces of finished cold brew.
How do you use the Dash DCBCM400 cold brew maker?
To use the machine, fill the reusable filter with ground coffee, assemble the hopper, and add cold water to the carafe. Insert both components into the unit, select your preferred brew strength, and press start. The system automatically brews and shuts off once the cycle is complete.
What brew strength options are available on this machine?
The cold brew maker offers three strength settings: Mild, Regular, and Bold. These options allow users to customize the flavor intensity based on personal preference. Each setting adjusts the brewing time and extraction process, ensuring flexibility for different taste profiles and coffee styles.
Is the Dash Rapid Cold Brew Maker easy to clean?
Yes, the unit is designed with removable components such as the reusable filter and hopper, making cleaning straightforward. However, it is not dishwasher safe, so all parts must be hand-washed with warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly before reassembly to maintain performance and hygiene.
Can you use pre-ground coffee with the Dash DCBCM400?
Yes, the machine works well with pre-ground coffee, provided it is measured correctly according to the filter capacity. Medium-ground coffee is generally recommended for the best results, as it ensures proper extraction and prevents clogging during the rapid brewing process.
Does the Dash cold brew maker shut off automatically?
The appliance includes an automatic shut-off feature that activates once the brewing cycle is complete. This ensures safety and convenience, allowing users to start the brewing process and return later to ready-to-drink cold brew without needing to monitor the machine continuously.
Can the Dash DCBCM400 be used to make tea?
Yes, the cold brew maker can also be used to prepare iced tea by replacing coffee grounds with loose-leaf tea. The same brewing process applies, allowing users to enjoy refreshing cold beverages beyond coffee, making the appliance more versatile for everyday use.
What should you do if the machine does not start?
If the unit does not turn on, ensure the carafe and hopper are properly installed, as the machine will not operate unless both are securely in place. Check the power connection and assembly. If issues persist, contact customer support rather than attempting repairs yourself to avoid safety risks.
