Takeya is one of the largest capacity cold brew coffee makers that you can put in the door of a refrigerator. It brews 56 fl.oz. water and produces 40.5 fl.oz. coffee. It’s comparable to the Willow & Everett if you’re looking to brew a good volume but don’t have the shelf space.
Takeya is practically the only spill-proof brewer that can lie on its side or stand in the refrigerator while brewing. Both brewers have a fixed brew ratio of 1:9. However, the Willow & Everett produces a stronger quality brew, which could be due to its more porous filter.
The Takeya is locally made in the USA from high quality Tritan plastic. The Willow & Everett is an all-glass product where the filter is a mesh type gauze. Therefore, the Willow & Everett can easily double up as a hot beverage brewer.
