I love this Bruer cold-water brewing system!
I’ve used my vintage (1970’s edition) Filtron system to brew coffee extract for years.
The old Filtron system, when completely assembled was not top heavy, and all parts necessary for the complete process (including bowl for extract) could be safely sat on the counter top.
With the newer filtron – that is not possible – because putting the coffee-extract carafe, under the grounds soaking-basket, would make the entire rig top-heavy and most likely collapsible all over the counter top.
Not willing to give up my cold-water coffee extract, and wanting all parts necessary in one spot at the same time to brew the extract, I bought, and last night tried the Breur system.
I love it. The entire system can safely sit on the counter top, with all parts necessary to complete the entire process – WITHOUT it posing as a tippable hazard.
Once you put the grounds in, you place that device in the extract-collection pitcher, then add water in the top. The whole device can sit on the counter, safely, NOT TOP HEAVY – and when it is time to “pull the plug” and let the extract drain – the pitcher is right there, UNDER the grounds basket device, ready to use.
And the resulting brew (coffee or tea from grounds) is delicious -- no ‘acid’ after taste.
I use roughly 2 oz of extract per 20-oz of water, and it creates a strong cup of coffee (or tea).
By the way, this cold-water extraction system makes the MOST delicious tea extract – try filling the coffee basket with tea leaves, and waiting 24 hours before draining! I use Earl Grey (Twinings).
This unit saves you time, when making coffee extract. It saves time, because it is able to safely sit on the counter top, with all parts necessary to the process in one place, at one time.
With the Bruer unit, and its top water device, it is not necessary to stir the grounds to make sure they are wet properly (as in the Toddy system), and there is no ferreting about to get the extract-carafe UNDER the unit (as in the newer Filtron system), when it is time to drain the grounds. The entire unit can safely on the counter top, until time to drain the extract. It is less time consuming that either of the two other units I mentioned above, for this reason.
I like that the Bruer used glass – it does not absorb stains, smells, nor does it discolor.
Lastly, the packaging it comes in, makes it very easy to store the unit, when you are done using it.
If you like using cold-water coffee (or tea) extract, to make your morning cup – this unit is perfect. It is better than the newer Filtron – as it is safe to have the entire assembled unit on the counter top, while brewing takes place.

Love for Coffee Geeks
I was one of the first people to get a Bruer cold brew system through Kickstarter and have had nothing but two years of joy from it! Making a pot for tomorrow morning's enjoyment right now.... About two years later. Still going strong, but I don't make cold brew every day. Maybe once a week.You'll like the Bruer if:- you have an AeroPress and like fiddling with your coffee recipe- you appreciate Kyoto-style cold drip for $6/cup from your specialty coffee house, but hate the cost- you don't need cold brew every day, but 2-3 cups per run are sufficient- you will only hand wash lab-quality glassware and will spend 30-seconds to wash this- you want coffee in which you can taste EVERY note, from chocolate to strawberry to vanilla- you can watch the YouTube how-to video from the makers and follow instructions- you already have a gram scale, burr grinder, and measuring cups (you're a coffee geek)You won't like the Bruer if:- you make and drink coffee by the pitcher with a Mr Coffee (you want a lot of coffee fast with no fuss)- you don't want to make cold brew the night before (this takes overnight to drip)- you want the cheapest cup of coffee possible (55g of grounds to 24oz water for the concentrate is about double my grounds:water ration for hot coffee, so this coffee costs double per glass... Which is why Kyoto costs a lot too)- you must dishwasher everything or have pets or small children with access to your kitchen countertop (this isn't made of bulletproof glass)- you're not willing to be lab-precise in your coffee making (I measure my beans to the gram, my water to the mL, set my Baratza burr grinder, and stopwatch time my drip rate)
