The Primula Burke and Aquach are two well-built brewers. Both have a uniquely designed lid and stopper. The Primula Burke has a double lid with a twist-to-pour feature that also allows easy brewing. The filter of the Aquach lifts out with a neat handle, and the stopper fits the same with or without the filter inserted.
However, neither brewer features the best of filters. The Aquach has a fine laser-cut stainless steel filter which, despite its practical design, produces a below-average brew. Likewise, the Primula Burke filter, made of plastic and nylon, is even finer and, as a result, the brew is well below par.
Despite these shortcomings, we would still recommend the Aquach brewer, especially for its attractive design and usefulness as a hot beverage brewer. The Primula, on the other hand, is a cold brew coffee maker that we do not recommend.
