Aquach is a beautifully designed cold brew coffee maker with a unique easy-to-lift filter and an airtight stopper. Its only flaw is the fine stainless steel lasered filter which is not porous enough for producing a high quality brew. Also, the glass carafe is delicate.
On the plus side, there are three sizes: the 34 oz and 51 oz brewers can both fit a gallon-sized door bin, whereas the 68 oz one is tall and slender and can easily fit into any refrigerator door.
The Willow & Everett, on the other hand, is meant for brewing and dispensing from a refrigerator shelf. The brew quality is about the best you can get for an immersion filter brewer, and this makes it an all round better proposition than the Aquach.
The Willow & Everett, however, is not without its flaws. Dispensing through the tap can be temperamental and often not so smooth. The last 20% of the brew has to be poured out from the top, which is an inconvenience. There’s not much of a comparison to be drawn between these two since the Aquach is a closer match to similar carafe style brewers.
