Has anyone used this sort of cold brew system before? It almost seems too simple, but I'm curious of peoples' experiences.

AtomkinderThis method of cold brew is becoming the home-standard now, it's known as immersion brewing. I used to just throw grounds and water in a french press and press when ready, which in all honesty produces just about the same result. However, the big difference with something like the JoyJolt or a similar immersion brewing system is the clean up is significantly easier. Instead of pouring the cold brew into another container to clean out the french press, with one of these you just take out the insert, put the rubber grommet on the top and put it back in the fridge, no need to move the cold brew around. If you already own a french press this is more of a nice-to-have, but having gotten one myself I must say I do really prefer it over taking my french press apart to clean it out.

AtomkinderLet me give you a better take: I’ve been using these systems for quite some time. Immersion systems are my least favorite. If you at all care about a clean brew (transparent, not cloudy) these take way more trouble than they’re worth. Unless you have a great grinder or filter the end product through paper, you’re going to have sediment. Clean up is not a cinch. That tube is packed with soaked, ground beans and you have to get them out. It’s a multi step process unless you have a garbage disposal and you dump everything in and then rinse a bunch of times to get rid of the rest of the beans. If you don’t put them down the drain.... it’s an arduous mess.
Pour over systems will will give you a better taste, a cleaner coffee, and generally get rid of having to clean out an awkward tube of coffee grounds.
And btw, just about every system available these days let’s you take collection container off for easy pouring, storage, etc.
If you want to experiment with this, I suggest buying a much cheaper system to see if it’s for you. You can find a Hario on Amazon for about $15. But I’d just go with pour over.
Edit: Just noticed Drop offers the Asobu cold brew system. It’s more of a hybrid system but works beautifully.

AtomkinderLook for the Arctic cold brew Kickstarter - that was the start, then as per usual copies showed up on Alibaba and now there are about 20 different brands using this exact product.
