Gourmia GCM7800 Brewdini 5-Cup Cold-Brew Coffee Maker for Delicious, Flavorful Coffee

John's thing: I marked one of the stars a "1" because it wanted to know about the "warmth." What's with that? this is a cold brew coffee maker so it should not be "warmth." Hmmm, maybe I should change it to a 5 because it is not "warmth." That's probably what they meant.

I got this not just because I kind of like iced coffee on a hot day, but to replicate, if I can McDuck's or Burger King's frappe". I like those so making them at home sounds like fun.
My first attempt was a total fail. Recipes are very simple: Mix a cup of chocolate milk (I used Almond Chocolate milk because --- why not? with ice cubes created from freezing coffee from this thing, a little vanilla, sugar maybe, and a straw. The coffee maker worked great! It has settings buttons to push for "light," "medium,," "strong" and "concentrate" And if that's not enough it has arrows that increase or decrease the brew strength. It takes about 14 minutes to come up with a pitcher full of "concentrate" and about 2+ minutes for a pot of "light."
It's very simple to use, and quite intuitive as to how to use it,, which is good because the instructions aren't that great.
But, my first "frappe" was a total fail. The recipes all...

EDWARD LEE JACOBS: This coffee pot lasted ONE brew. ONE. The concept is great, IF IT WORKED. So this product works by compression..what that mean is this, you fill up the coffee filter with A LOT of coffee & insert it into the water chamber part of the machine and lock it into place (IT HAS TO BE IN THE LOCKED POSITION TO WORK...or so it says), you then fill up the water chamber with your desired amount of water (which by the way this machine DOES NOT hold or make the amount of cups it claims to!!) that they say needs to be at “room temperature”. After this you follow a couple more steps to make sure everything is correct and locked into place and then it starts to do its thing (the compression process).
Used it the first day and it worked fine. My only complaints was that you get a good bit of coffee grinds in your coffee, and it doesn’t brew as many cups as it claims.
Day 2. It malfunctioned or whatever you even want to call it. When it started to go through it’s “compression” cycle, it kept knocking the coffee filter mechanism out of its locked position which caused the filter to FLOAT inside the container which DID NOT allow for the coffee to be brewed properly. My coffee...

Hts: It’s a great system and is easy to use. Not bad capacity, about 25oz for a full carafe; but I think everyone is just used to oversized everything. My main gripe with this is the NOISE. IT IS SO LOUD. You can’t run this machine in the morning if people are sleeping, it will wake up the whole house. I compare the noise level to the equivalent of a very loud air compressor machine that you use to inflate your tires. If it were quieter then 5 stars across the board.

E.S.: This product really works. I have to admit I was skeptical when I first heard of "instant" cold brew. But using vacuum technology or something, the extraction happens within minutes, rather than hours. The product's sleek design goes well with my kitchen, which has a timeless but modern look. The interface is easy to use, and the settings are all right in front of you on the front-facing panel; no confusing menus to sort through. Definitely try this product.

Reviewer of All Things: I LOVE Cold Brew( one may even call it an addiction). In fact, I order Starbucks cold brew even during the dead of winter. It came to the point where I was spending a too much on Starbucks everyday, so I decided to purchase a cold brew machine. This little machine is basically perfect. It makes making a delicious cold brew as easy as the push of a button. I like that I am not limited to just using pods, and can buy any ground coffee flavor I like, therefore maximizing my options.

Although we already have a keruig machine, this is undoubtedly is a good addition to our house. The coffee tastes way less watered down and is simple, easy and quick to use. The investment on this machine was absloutley worth it.
