Question 1

Do I let it steep in the fridge or at room temperature?

Accepted Answer

I love to make cold brew green tea with it. I put it in the fridge and wait 12-24 hours. I empty the cold brew into another jar and then pour boiling water over the same tea leaves -- usually twice before I throw out the old tea leaves and put in new. I end up with 12 cups of tea from one tablespoon of tea leaves. Different compounds are released in the hot brew than the cold brew, so this way I get all the goodies and for the lowest cost. I actually have two sets of the quart size (because those fit more easily in my fridge) and I keep them busy! Oh, and once I  have made the hot brew I let it sit out a little bit to cool down but then put in the fridge if I'm not ready to drink it, to help keep the tea fresh longer.

Question 2

Can you use a standard wide-mouth mason jar plastic lid while brewing and then switch to the flip top lid for storage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the white plastic lid from Ball will work with the brewer.

Thanks for the question!

Question 3

Would the coffee flavor hold up if you froze fresh concentrate in ice cube trays? That would add a new level of convenience to this thing for sure.

Accepted Answer

The flavor depends on which grounds you use. Expect it to turn out 3 times stronger than a regular brewed cup of coffee & use dark roasts for best results. In this put 1 1/2 cups grounds (buy beans & set grinder to largest size - I use a paper place to create a "funnel" to pour grounds into the filter) first then add 6 cups of water poured into the grounds to wet them. (4 cups water to 1 cup grounds) Shake a bit a few times during the 20 hr brewing period. I brew mine on the counter, some put it in the fridge. I take it a step further to remove very fine bits using a coffee carafe with filter holder & coffee filter (Cuisinart filter holder sits nicely in place on carafe). This removes the tiny "grit" left. You can use any way you'd like. Dilute for a cup of smooth tasting coffee (this takes out the acidity & bitterness) or use to create cold drinks & more. Many possibilities with this! It makes some awesome tasting coffee!

Question 4

What size mesh filter hole is your SS filter using?

Accepted Answer

160 microns is approximately 90 U. S. Mesh or Roughly .006"
The smaller the micron number, the smaller the size hole. The LARGER the mesh number, the smaller the hole. 
A 600 U. S. mesh is about 20 microns or .0008"
A normal size water pre-filter is about 20 microns.
