Overall Verdict
The Primula Burke and Willow & Everett couldn’t be more different in the quality of the cold brew they produce. The Primula Burke, while quite commendable for its practical design and color range, produced some of the weakest and poorest tasting cold brew coffee in our tests.
The brew ratio of the Primula is not that different from other immersion filter brewers. The difference between these two brewers, however, lies in the design and concept of the filter. The plastic and nylon filter of the Primula Burke allowed for minimal cross flow and therefore an acceptable brew could not develop. Furthermore, its all-plastic design is not ideal for hot brewing other beverages so its practical use is limited.
The Willow & Everett is a good choice for a cold coffee maker if the quality of the brew is more important than design considerations. Not without its flaws, the tap doesn’t always work smoothly, the lid is poor quality, and the glass around the spigot is potentially fragile.
