I have a cold brew concentrate maker and I highly recommend that if you’re going to drink cold brew everyday. Mine produces enough concentrate for about 1.5 weeks.
In 24 hours I have very strong concentrate that you dilute with water to taste, adding cold water to to make cold brew,or hot water for warm coffee, etc. It’s fantastic to make cold brew affogatos with too.
I’ve also never gotten the infuser types to make it strong enough to my taste so it sits mostly unused, except for travel.
