Snoop's Take

The KitchenAid KCM4212SX Cold Brew Coffee Maker is designed to simplify the cold brewing process, allowing you to create smooth, rich coffee concentrate at home. With its sleek brushed stainless steel design and 28-ounce capacity, it fits perfectly in your refrigerator while providing up to 14 servings of delicious cold brew. Consumer feedback highlights the effectiveness of this coffee maker, with many praising its ability to brew rich flavors without sediment. One user noted, "Best brew in town," while others appreciated that it allows for easy strength adjustments and is simple to clean without the need for paper filters. However, some concerns were raised about coffee grounds making it past the filter and the potential for bitter or acidic brews if not prepared correctly. Overall, the KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker is recommended for those seeking a reliable and stylish way to make cold brew at home, though users should pay attention to brewing techniques to avoid common pitfalls.

What it does well!

Key strengths users can’t stop talking about.
Consistently effective brewing with proper technique
“I believe grinding your own really will make all the difference.”➕
Rich flavor and decently frothed milk
“Results have been amazing with rich flavor and decently frothed milk.”➕
Smooth cold brew experience
“Best brew in town.”➕
Convenient to use with easy filling
“Thanks. Yeah I tried those but didn't love opening/filling/closing and if I use the bag it's easier to just throw it in a pitcher than use the KitchenAid.”➕
Effective brewing with minimal sediment
“There's basically no sediment, especially when compared to a fine mesh brewing bag which is what I used to use.”➕
Effective brewing with proper ratios
“I’ve tried it throughout the process and found this quantity of coffee, the amount of water, and brew time to be the sweet spot.”➕
“Mixing the concentrate was a life changer for me when it came to the viscosity feeling very watered down.”➕
“Just made a batch using them and it turned out great!”➕
Convenient to adjust coffee strength
“when I make cold brew I use a wooden spoon or something from my kitchen to ***gently*** stir the grounds after i've added water.”➕
Easy to clean with no paper filters
“Easy to clean. No paper filters.”➕
Functions as both a coffee brewer and dispenser
“It works identically to a mason jar and a spoon.”➕

Where it needs some work!

Areas to watch—feedback on possible improvements.
Coffee grounds making it past the filter
“Anyone with the KitchenAid Cold Brew Maker getting coffee grounds making it past the filter?”➕
“I then decant the concentrate into a separate container but only open the spigot enough to let it slowly drip out.”➕
Grainy taste due to coffee fines
“grainy/thick (like you can taste a powder, not necessarily tasting coarse grounds though).”➕
“run my cold brew batch through a pour over with a filter. I prefer the chemex since it’s large and has a thick filter to remove oils.”➕
Brew consistently turns out bitter and acidic
“Add a small amount of salt to your brew. This will cut down on the bitterness, but don’t add very much.”➕
“Acidic usually means it needs more time. Bitter means you overdid it.”➕
“Water to coffee ratio. The water being used to brew.”➕
Dilution ratios can lead to watery coffee
“Sounds like you brewed it fine, but their recommended dilution was way too much.”➕

“I’ve become a little lazy with my Barista Touch and somewhat envious of the ability to just push a button on a super auto.”➕

Buyer’s Cheat Sheet

What to check before you click ‘Add to Cart.’
Mention of coffee preferences and brewing methods
“Many of the employees were horribly addicted. I mean, to coffee, yes, but also nicotine, Mary Jane, and... More... Difficult substances, shall we say.”➕

Discussion on coffee grinding techniques
“I get very clean concentrate using this method with the flavor being very much improved.”➕
Discussion on cleaning difficulties
“I bought a set of these that has made opening jars and other items much easier.”➕
“Thank you. It’s not the gripping that’s an issue it’s that the pieces are turning together so that they don’t unscrew.”➕
“Have you found anything that works?”➕
“There should be a piece of plastic that’s shaped like a wrench and it should be the same size as the ‘nut’ behind the spout/tap to help you keep in place and unscrew it.”➕
Discussion about finding paper filters
“my one issue is that even if I grind at maximum coarseness, I still get some sediment, especially in the first few and last cups.”➕
Discussion on coffee brewing ratios and techniques
“I just instantly added more water, so I’ll have to try it out!”➕
