Makes outstanding cold coffee, noticeably smoother and much more nuanced than my Mizudashi Cold Brew Coffee pot. The design is even more striking 'in person', sitting on my kitchen counter. I was initially looking at the Yama Cold Brew Drip Tower, but they don't fit under the cabinets over my counter tops - while this easily does.
As a former engineer, I highly agree with the other comment about the innovative design for the drip mechanism, which controls the amount of water depth (therefore water pressure) presented to the drip valve - for a more consistent drip rate. This is another plus over the Yama.
My only concern is trying to find replacement felt filters, which sit on top of the coffee grounds to evenly distribute the dripping water into the coffee. The paper filters (yes, it uses 2 types of filters) are easy to replace, since the Aeropress coffee filters are an almost perfect fit. I've tried the Toddy Cold Brew filter (also felt), but it's too thick and the diameter is bigger (even after cutting it smaller, the thickness seemed to cause issues with the water seeping properly into the coffee). I'd really appreciate it if replacement felt filters could be made available.

A lot more flavor than hot dripped coffee
Very innovative design the way the water level above the metering valve is self-regulated, they should all be doing this. Very simple idea, but key to it is gravity dripping it at a constant rate through the whole pot. It makes a very nice cup of coffee, a lot more flavor than hot dripped coffee. All it takes is setting it up the night before, and coffee is ready to heat up in the morning. Stores well in the fridge for other times too. I like how compact and aesthetic it is.
