Overall Verdict
While the Ovalware is built to look great on your kitchen table, the Willow & Everett is designed to dispense the brew straight from the refrigerator shelf. Both brewers come in smaller and larger sizes as well.
The Ovalware, however, pays more attention to the overall design quality, whereas the Willow & Everett excels in the quality and strength of its brew. The lid of the Willow & Everett is rather tinny and does not have an inner gasket. The filter is roughly sewn together, and the tap or spigot doesn’t always work smoothly.
Both brewers are ideal for hot brewing since they are both glass, using a stainless steel and mesh gauze filter respectively. The Willow & Everett, however, is a nice design for serving summer favorites such as lemonades or whole fruit teas.
In terms of the actual quality of the cold brew coffee produced, the Willow & Everett is a step ahead of the Ovalware. This is partly because it has a more favorable brew ratio of 1:9 whereas the Ovalware’s is 1:11, but the brew is still relatively good.
