County Line Kitchen is a sturdy mason jar adapted for making cold brew coffee. You simply insert the filter or brew core with grounds, add water, and screw on the lid. The brew ratio is 1:9 for either the 1-quart or 2-quart jar. The filter has an airtight seal and the screw-on plastic lid a silicone gasket. The lid has a flip cap for easy pouring, and you can choose between a brewer with or without a handle.
The Ovalware is more of a fancy stylized carafe. Its slender neck and wide base are perfect for cold brew coffee-making, and it comes with an airtight stopper and a silicone base pad. The brew core or filter is a type of lasered stainless steel and the brew ratio is 1:11. The brew is not as strong as the County Line Kitchen, but the quality is much the same.
Both brewers are versatile in that you can also use them for hot brewing and tea making. The County Line Kitchen comes with a traditional mason jar lid, so you can use it just as you would any mason jar.
