My $40 cold brew tower experiment was a total flop
I thought the fancy glass setup would be a game changer, but the coffee it made was just okay, and cleaning all those tiny parts took forever. Honestly, a mason jar and a filter bag works better and costs about five bucks. Anyone have a cold brew method that's actually worth the extra effort?

Yeah, @oscar_gonzalez45 is right, it's really not that serious for just coffee.

Watched my buddy go down that same road last summer. He bought this intricate copper drip tower thing, looked like a science project. After a week of fiddling with water drip rates and clogged filters, he went back to just soaking grounds in a big jug overnight. Said the difference wasn't worth the hassle at all.

My own coffee journey peaked with a scale and a timer. Measured to the gram, water exactly 205 degrees. Tasted the same as my old spoon-and-guess method. Now I just eyeball it into a mug like a caveman.

A copper drip tower? Your friend must have way more patience than me. I get annoyed just looking at my regular coffee maker.
