The Aquach is a glass and stainless steel cold brew coffee maker with a unique lid design. It has an insertable stainless steel neck, and the filter lifts out with a neat little handle.
The stopper fits the same whether the filter is inserted or not. The only drawback is its fine lasered filter which doesn’t allow for sufficient cross flow so the brew quality is a little weak.
The Takeya, on the other hand, is about brewing quantity in the most practical way. Its uniqueness is how the filter completely seals by screwing into the lid. This way you can shake the brewer, and brew either standing in the refrigerator door or resting on a shelf.
If you’re looking for a good-strength cold brew coffee, Takeya ranks as one of our better brewers. The Aquach may suit you for its stylish design and versatility as an additional hot beverage brewer.
