Brew Delicious Cold Coffee at Home with the KitchenAid KCM5912SX Cold Brew Coffee Maker

Cameron Lowrie: New to cold brew coffee but love it. So I figured probably should try to make it myself. Looked at all the cold brewers and ended up going with the kitchen aid because it looked like it would fit in the fridge better than most. Haven't tried any of the others so I'm not sure if my review is worth all that much, but this brewer makes real good coffee, fits in the fridge well, cleans easily and looks good. It doesn't look big enough but you're making concentrate so it's twice what it'll hold and that's pretty good. All in all I recommend it highly.

MK Bartholomew: No muss, no fuss. The strainer for the grounds is excellent; not a single coffee ground finds its way into the concentrate. It’s compact so it takes up little counter space overnight. We prefer to decant the concentrate into glass bottles to save on fridge space, but the pour spout works really well, no drips. This will be our last cold brew maker purchase!

Lindsey Bravo: This makes a great cold brew. I have tried many cold brew makers and this one far surpassed the rest! I give it 4 stars because you have to wait until your cold brew runs out to start making another batch since the cold brew maker is incorporated into the holding container. Other than that, I love it! I would recommend if you love cold brew.

Chris: We use the Honduras single source organic whole bean coffee from Aldis. The Kitchenaid cold brew maker looks great in our fridge and is super convenient to use with the spout. After draining the grounds, we let the brew sit for an hour before trying the first cup. This allowed the silt to settle to the bottom of the container with its grooved surfaces. No silt in our coffee at all!

Rachel McCabe: I can't say enough good things about this product! It is easy to use and makes great coffee! My husband started using this daily and it has saved us a ton of money on buying coffee out!

Roger Baker: Coffee dribbles out slow if it’s less than half full. Pricey for mediocre quality.

Clara Fide: I read the reviews and thought, they must have just got a defective unit

First round, perfect… amazing!

Second batch, great for two days. Day 3 coffee leaked out the bottom. I didn’t take the unit apart, it was exactly as it was from the manufacturer.

Return in process. So disappointed because the unit is amazing in so many other ways (solid construction, tastes great, aesthetically pleasing) but I’m not going to wonder if I have coffee in the morning or if it has run all over everywhere and I need to stop for coffee

Amazon Customer: Love this machine, really easy to use, with no mess and great flavor. Note it does require a lot of coffee so shop in bulk, and once you remove the basket (after the brew process) you do not get a full container (naturally); to keep in mind if you are serving a very large crowd.

N. MacDonald: I was new to iced coffee when I bought this--this is my only experience with making iced coffee. It works well enough, but I feel like it could have been a better product. For one thing, for the amount of space is consumes in the fridge, it seems to hold comparatively less liquid than you'd expect. Perhaps there needed to be a version with taller glass. Also the spout empties from the bottom, but the bottom is not sloped as much as it could be, so getting the final mm of liquid out is difficult... and that bottom design means that there is significant wasted space on the bottom of the unit. If you dispense from inside the fridge, it seems to take too long to fill a glass... and it slows as the amount of liquid diminishes. The handle doesn't fold to either side. This seems to have been done solely for branding reasons... the handle has the brand name on it and they want it to face forward when folded down. The top is not a perfect seal, and if you accidentally knock it you can leave a small crack for evaporation. And last but not least, while it is attractive, and feels solidly built, it also feels over priced. It would be a no brainer 5 star at half the price.

Alex: Ok kinda love this thing, and my wife really loves it (she's the queen ice coffee drinker round here). Fits great in the fridge, no leaks, elegant design.

Here's my confession though - we don't actually use it to brew, it's just a stylin' dispenser. We brew hot coffee in a thermal carafe, so after it's eventually cooled, it's still fresh (air tight carafe). So you get it - if the thermal carafe's cool, I empty it into this thing and it's tomorrow's iced coffee.

As a result we don't bother with the ratio of iced coffee concentrate / water mix etc.. It's just perfect straight out ;-)
