A deliberate choice for people who prefer preparing coffee concentrate ahead of time rather than brewing a hot cup on demand.

Before buying: Measure both the brewing setup and the space for the carafe. Check the brewing directions and allow time for steeping.

Consider an alternative: Skip it if you need immediate hot coffee or rarely drink cold brew.
