Ok. I get it. They say 170 grams (or 2 cups!) of coffee for 7 cups of water. That's 14 cups of coffee (a cup of coffee is generally 8 oz. in the USA). This must mean you keep coffee leftovers in the fridge for 2-5 days, depending on how many coffee drinkers you're feeding.... I'm trying to figure this out...
Also, the directions say the unit is dishwasher safe, but on the top shelf. Unfortunately, this coffeemaker is way way to tall to fit on any top shelf of any dishwasher. Damn. Nobody has thought through anything on this object.
Why did you fill up the container with water BEFORE adding the coffee? That's just a waste, and a pain the butt. Put the filter in, pour the water slowly through the filter, saturating the grounds, then fill up the rest. It allows the process to start more easily, instead of having this concentrated area of grounds, and then shaking the damn thing all around to try to get them all wet.
Holy crap ! 170 grams of coffee for 7 cups of coffee? Are you kidding? That's insane. Did you guys really test this? Experts suggest 10-12 grams per cup. That would mean 7x12, or 84 grams (not 170 grams), total, for this coffee maker.
Basically cold brew coffe is a concentrate. You can use water\milk to dilute it, so how much coffe you put into it doesn't matter that much - you can put less and get coffe that barely needs diluting, if at all, or put a lot and get a concentrate that will last you a longer time.
Thanks for sharing this great review of our Cold Brew Coffee Maker!
Totally! We use it every day

A minor criticism: The components do not go together readily. You have to work at it for the screw parts to line up.
It is a little finicky

We did test it. Less and it'll be very weak
