Overall Verdict
Neither the Cafe Du Chateau nor Coffee Bear is the most ideal cold brew coffee maker. However, the Coffee Bear is the better choice in terms of both design and quality of brew. Cafe Du Chateau is actually not a brewer we recommend based on its poor overall design. It’s heavy, cumbersome when pouring, and the stopper is not a good fit.
The Coffee Bear is not a bad design if you are happy with a plastic and nylon filter. The body is glass, and the lid has a handy twist-to-pour design. It also has a slip-on silicone base, but it doesn’t have such a balanced design and it makes the brewer a difficult fit for a small refrigerator door bin. The brew quality is fairly average, so not that great.
