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.
Filter
To remove ground coffee from the filter, 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 the body to prevent leakage.
COLD BREW
Taste the difference with the Takeya 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 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 the fridge door
- Leakproof, airtight lid, stores upright or on its side
COFFEE BREW INSTRUCTIONS
ADD COFFEE
Add 28-32 tablespoons (2 cups approx.) of your favorite medium roast, coarsely ground coffee to the filter, then twist into lid.
BREW
Fill the Takeya pitcher ¾ full with cold, filtered water. Then lower the filter into the water. Seal lid airtight, shake well, and store on its side in the refrigerator for 12 – 24 hours to cold brew. Occasionally, twist open and swirl the filter. Remove the filter when brewing is complete. The result will be a brew of concentrated coffee.

Takeya Patented Deluxe Cold Brew Coffee Maker-FAQs
Q1. How do I use the Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker?
Add 1¼ cups (about 106 g) of coarsely ground coffee into the filter. Fill the pitcher with cold, filtered water, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top. Insert the filter, twist the lid to seal it airtight, and shake gently for 30 seconds. Place it in the refrigerator to brew for 12–24 hours. Occasionally shake to ensure even extraction.
Q2. How much coffee should I use?
For the standard 1 QT or 2 QT Takeya brewer, use 1¼ cups (106 g) of coarse coffee grounds. Adjust the ratio if you prefer stronger or lighter coffee.
Q3. What grind size is best for cold brew?
Always use a coarse grind, similar to kosher salt or French press grounds. A fine grind can clog the filter and make the brew bitter.
Q4. How long should I steep cold brew in the Takeya?
The sweet spot is 16–20 hours in the fridge. Steeping less may taste weak, and steeping too long can make it overly strong or muddy.
Q5. Do I need to shake or stir during brewing?
Yes. Give the pitcher a gentle shake after filling, and again occasionally while it steeps. This helps all grounds stay in contact with water for better flavor.
Q6. What coffee-to-water ratio should I follow?
For concentrate, use about 1:8 (coffee to water). After brewing, dilute with water, milk, or ice at a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio depending on taste.
Q7. What type of coffee beans should I use?
Any beans work, but medium to dark roasts bring out the smooth, bold flavors cold brew is known for. Lighter roasts create a brighter, fruitier brew.
Q8. Can I heat up cold brew coffee?
Yes. You can warm cold brew concentrate on the stove or in the microwave without losing its smoothness, unlike regular coffee that may turn bitter when reheated.
Q9. Can I make hot coffee with the Takeya?
Yes, the Takeya pitcher is designed for both hot and cold coffee or tea.
Q10. How long does cold brew last in the Takeya pitcher?
Cold brew concentrate stays fresh for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator when sealed with the airtight lid.
