Primula Cold Brew Glass Carafe Iced Coffee Maker Review & Giveaway!!!

PRimula Logo

I don’t know about you, but I love iced coffee and I don’t live down the street from a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. If you found when making your own at home it tasted different, it’s was because hot brewed coffee is highly acidic.  Did you know that there are cold brew coffee makers that make coffee concentrate? I recently had the chance to try the Primula Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker.

The coffee made in this cold brew way makes coffee concentrate that is 65% less acidic than hot brewed coffee. The 50 oz Carafe will make enough concentrate for 16 cups of iced coffee. You can store the concentrate in the refridgerator for up to 14 days so you will easily be able to whip up a refreshing iced coffee whenever the mood strikes. There are also recipes for other delicious coffee drinks in the instruction guide. The glass carafe is BPA free, stain and scratch resistant and features a non slip silicone bottom ring. The carafe easily fits in the fridge without taking up much room.

The Cold Brew Glass Carafe System has the MyBev Flavorcore that is a stainless steel mesh basket core where you place the ground coffee.  The handle on the Flavorcore makes it easy to maneuver and it rests inside the lid and locks firmly in place with a twist while brewing  After 12-24 hours you simply remove the lid and unscrew and remove the Flavorcore, the coffee grounds are easily emptied from the bottom.

It’s so easy to make the coffee concentrate. All you do is put freshly ground coffee in the Flavorcore, then cover slowly with one cup of water then continue filling until the grounds in the Flavorcore are submerged by water. Next, put the top on and place in the refrigerator to brew for 12-24 hours.  When the brewing time is over, just remove the Flavorcore and dispose of the grounds.  you can insert the flavor mixer to mix and then use the concentrate for iced coffee, cold brew frappe, iced cappuccino, iced mocha or any of your other favorite iced coffee drinks.

The concentrate is so handy to have made so that my favorite iced coffee treat is seconds away.  I love this system and the concentrate tastes great mixed with water and flavored creamers.  I had an iced pumpkin coffee today after some extensive yard work and it was what I had my mind focused on as my reward for my hard manual labor 🙂 .  If you are looking for a Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker that’s easy to use and easy to clean then the Primula Cold Brew Glass Carafe System is for you!

The Carafe & Citrus Press has three components, each with a unique functionality. The beautifully shaped plastic carafe is unbreakable and will not crack when he falls. On top of the carafe, the bowl of the Citrus Press can be firmly attached. If the carafe is filled with water with mint leaves, lemon wedges or ice cubs, the filter in the bowl will hold them back when you pour the water. In order to squeeze a citrus fruit, cut them in half and place the fruit in the bowl. By turning the press into the fruit, the juice is released and runs through the bowl and into the carafe. The shell will remain on the press and can easily be thrown away. You can also use the separate press for squeezing a lemon over a salad or baked fish. The carafe and bowl can be closed off with the press making sure that flies or dust will not reach you lemonade.

  • Unbreakable carafe
  • Screw closure between bowl and carafe
  • Bowl works as a filter
  • Press can be used separately
  • Press can be used as a lid
  • Dishwasher safe
