Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Pot
A heat-resistant glass carafe with a full-length mesh filter basket. Coarse grounds go in the basket, water in the carafe, and it steeps in the fridge for eight to fourteen hours. The simplest reliable route to cold brew without a dedicated system.

What it does
- Heat-resistant glass
- Full-length mesh basket
- Fridge steep, 8–14 hours
- Lower titratable acidity
Who it suits
- filter brewing where you want to control the pour rather than press a button
- anyone brewing one or two cups at a time
Who should skip it
- anyone who wants coffee waiting for them when they get downstairs — this is a hands-on method
- high-volume mornings; a batch brewer is the honest answer for four cups or more
The thing worth knowing
Filter choice changes the cup as much as the device. Paper traps the diterpenes that raise LDL cholesterol; metal mesh does not, and gives a heavier body in exchange.

What we have not done
We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
