Question 1

Can you use this to make ice tea? it seems the same as the Takeya ice tea maker but with a different colored top.

Accepted Answer

It's not the same filter. The coffee maker uses an ultra-fine mesh filter, while the iced tea maker uses one that is not as fine. We also recommend using two filters - one for coffee and one for tea to ensure that you get the best taste from each beverage.

Question 2

The suggested 28 tbsp coffee almost filled up the filter thingy - some grounds were even dry after sitting.  What measurement works best?

Accepted Answer

After my first attempt, I also experienced dry grounds. The next time, I put the filter in the pitcher and gently ran water over it. Then I filled the pitcher with water and let it sit for 24 hours (I’ve seen some people only let it sit for 12-16)… It came out amazing. I drank it straight from the pitcher, black. Omg

Question 3

When do you add infuser? do you put infuser in after 32 ounces or after 3/4 full? thanks. the instructions say to add 32 ounces and to fill 3/4 full.

Accepted Answer

Add the infused after filling the container/pitcher with water. 32 ounces is about 3/4 full but honestly you don't need to be THAT exact with it.  Miss it by a little and it will be insignificantly stronger. Miss it by a little too much and it will be insignificantly weaker. It really won't make much of a difference either way unless you have a ridiculously refined pallet. Personally, I just fill it up and eyeball when I think it's about 3/4 full and then I put the infuser in (the infuser is already filled with the coarse ground coffee beans when I put it in the pitcher).

Question 4

The suggested coffee amount seems so wasteful (14-16 tbsp) can you get away with using less?

Accepted Answer

You can  try using less, stsrt with 9nor 10, then cold steep it for 24 hrs or even 48. Some brand names cold brew much longer than twelve hours.
