Overall Verdict
Bean Envy is a cold brew coffee maker that goes the extra mile. The silicone base pad is one of the best designed and it comes with two stoppers — one for brewing and the other, a pop silicone stopper, for after decanting the filter. The pop-up stopper doesn’t facilitate such a smooth pour, but everything else is first class.
Bean Envy, for its small size and carafe style design, has a typical brew ratio of around 1:12, and the quality of the brew is relatively good. Willow & Everett is more for making large batches of cold brew coffee. Its brew quality and strength, from a ratio of 1:9, is one of the best for any immersion filter brewer.
Willow & Everett, on the other hand, is a generic product and similar brewers are available under different names. The design quality is rather average, and while the spigot is a good idea, it doesn’t work so smoothly in practice. Moreover, at least 20% of the brew still needs to be dispensed from the top of the container.
