While I did look at cold-brew coffeemakers on Amazon (in late May/early June), I didn't buy one then. I was trying to decide on the nearly $35.00 Toddy system or the $6.00 Ronco system. In July, I bought the inexpensive Ronco Coffeetime Brew System at a discount store for the same price it is sold here on Amazon ($5.99). It successfully cold-brews coffee in about 10-12 hours' time.My first attempts at making the cold-brewed coffee were merely trial-and-error moments that I have hopefully learned from. First of all, the Ronco Coffeetime Brew System comes with a recipe booklet (with directions for making standard cold-brewed coffee), a plastic brew pot (with lid), 2 felt filter pads, a rubber plug, and a plastic container with a screw-top lid. The cold-brewed coffee drips into that container and can be stored in the refrigerator.For the first few batches, I used Maxwell House medium ground coffee, which was a dollar more than the Ronco coffeemaker. I put the plug into the bottom of the brew pot (pressing hard to make sure it was secure in the hole). Next, I put one felt filter pad inside the brew pot (there's a recessed area at the bottom just for that filter). I also put one 8-12-cup paper coffee filter into the brew pot; then, I put one-and-a-half cups of the dry coffee into that filter. I filled the other container with cold water (to about a quarter inch from the "first" top of the container) and used that to pour the water onto the coffee grounds. Directions say to pour slowly and make sure there are no dry pockets of coffee. It also says not to stir. Pouring the water onto the coffee grounds will create dry pockets no matter how slowly the water is poured onto the coffee, and instead of stirring, I used the back of a spoon to gently press down the dry coffee so that the water would cover it. I covered the brew pot with the lid and stored the concoction in the fridge for overnight brewing. The next morning, I pulled the plug and quickly set the brew pot on top of the storing container so that it could drip into it. The drip time took about 90 minutes.The first time I did it, I pulled the paper filter out because I didn't know what it was (it was sticking out a bit, and it just looked nasty). After I pulled it out, I realized it was the paper filter. What can I say? It was morning, and I don't really do mornings well. Fortunately, the felt filter pad was still in its place and was keeping the coffee grounds from getting into the other container.Since those first few times making cold-brewed coffee, the brew pot brews on the counter instead of in the fridge, and I have replaced the paper filters with other filtering devices. The first replacement was the #6 Melitta coffee filter because it is taller than the regular ones, and I thought that it would stay better than the smaller ones. Once the water is poured onto the coffee (in the filter), the filter moves around a bit. It still holds the coffee though. The second replacement was a piece of (9x9 square-inch) cheesecloth, cut in half so that I have a spare. That's what I'm using now. However, as suggested in G's review, I'm thinking about scrapping the cheesecloth altogether and just using the 2 felt filter pads instead. Thanks G!Aside from periodic memory bouts, such as forgetting one time to put the felt pad in the brew pot and then wondering why the brewed coffee poured (not dripped) into the pot, making cold-brewed coffee in the Ronco Coffeetime Brew System is quite easy and not as messy as I thought it would be. When I first used the cheesecloth, I put a large (okay, extra large) rubber band around the brew pot to secure the cheesecloth. The soaked coffee also soaks the cloth, and by morning I had a little bit of liquid coffee on the counter below the pot. Since then, I've been putting the brew pot on an aluminum pie pan.According to the directions, the cold-brewed coffee is supposed to last 2 weeks in the fridge, but I wouldn't know that because I drink it all before those 2 weeks elapse. I try to make a batch of coffee every 2-3 days so that my pitcher always has coffee in it. I store my coffee in a BPA-free plastic pitcher (Rubbermaid), now, and use the other container as a drip-tank because the brew pot fits perfectly on top of it.I haven't had any problems with any of the items in the Ronco Coffeetime Brew System. I do wish, however, that a spare plug was included in the box (like the extra filter pad) and that the drip-tank was BPA-free.Ordinarily, I pour a cup of cold-brewed coffee into a coffee mug and microwave it before drinking it. Today, however, I made and drank an iced coffee from the batch I made 2 days ago. It was delicious (cold-brewed coffee mixed with Coffee-Mate's Hazelnut and Sweet Italian Cream and Hershey's chocolate syrup over crushed ice)! Cold-brewing coffee does have a smoother taste than hot-brewed coffee, and that was definitely noticeable from the first time I drank the cold-brewed coffee. Because I have GERD, and I love coffee, I had to find a way to reduce the acid in coffee. The Ronco Coffeetime Brew System is an inexpensive and efficient way to cold-brew coffee, taking out 65% of the acid, to boot!

OMG . . . I stopped drinking coffee years ago because of the high acid content. This makes a great cup of coffee. It can be hard if you do not know how to plan ahead when make cold extracted beverages. Thankfully, that is not a problem because as soon as one pot is finished the next one is started. It helps to have several large glass bottles to store the brewed mix. One suggestion, it would be great if more than one stopper were provided with this set up. Back ups of small items that are meant to be removed is a good idea in case the item is misplaced. Also, suggestion of where to get new filter would have been great. The replacements bought on line were the wrong size.

This is a great product for making anything with coffee. I was suffering with acid reflux and after using it for making my iced blended mochas I no longer have the reflux.
