    Its about $1.40 per 13 oz after the first 12 batches you make .Note this is using a 2nd nitro bullet half way through the keg to keep the right balance and creamy texture. ( the first 12 batches are about $4 to $5 per 13oz if you add the price of the keg , cold brew jug, nitro bullets and coffee).

    The drops is part of the game. Go to a bar, and you'll see the droplets coming out of the taps. They have a grate that funnels all that to a drain. If you have a DIY keg build, you will have the same deal. Seeing that as a problem is laughable. Invest in a kitchen towel if you can afford it. I am going to try your overnight technique now. Thanks for the tip!

    • @AM2PMReviews

      Rona Christman Coffer pros found that more often than not, commercial grade coffee beans don’t really have consistency in the quality of their beans (different sized, cracked, older etc in a single batch), and when roasting them the beans are often not evenly roasted either. I think the “commercial coffee” taste usually has to do with that?

      Wesley Matthews yes true I saw it last for I think $160 or $170. Prices change often. But still if you get cold brew twice a week that is 10 bucks not including time and gas. So it will be worth it after about 17 week or less depending on how much your time is worth and how far Starbucks is and how much you drink. I would not recommend it unless you loved nitro.

    Why would you make cold brew, put it in this thing and then wait a freaking day? I bought one thinking it made the cold brew for you. If I already made it, I'm just gonna drink it. Now, I wasted a ton of money on something I'm never going to use.

      Hi Ashley yeah this is just to put nitrogen in your coffee. You can see my coldbrew videos if you want to learn how to make it .
