Overall Verdict
The Primula Burke, despite its thoughtful design, fails as a cold brew coffee maker because of its oversight in the filter design. The fine polyester-type mesh of the filter lacks sufficient cross flow for a decent brew to develop.
It has a glass body with a plastic jacket and the lid is well-designed. The lid simply twists to pour or you can remove the inner core to insert the filter or stir the contents. The County Line Kitchen excels with its screw-on plastic lid with a flip cap for pouring. You can also choose a lid with a handle or one without.
That said, the County Line Kitchen produces an excellent-quality brew. The stainless steel mesh filter means you can also use it for hot beverage brewing. It also fits neatly into most refrigerator door bins whereas the Primula would require a gallon door bin.
