Willow & Everett vs Coffee Bear Side-by-Side Comparison
Coffee Bear cold brew coffee maker vs Willow & Everett mason jar. Two very different brewers, each with its own design and quality issues.

Overall Verdict
There are a couple of cold brew coffee makers that are almost identical to the Willow & Everett, or at least little difference between them. By the same token, Coffee Bear is almost identical to Coffee Gator.
Coffee Gator is the better product and comes with additional accessories. While both brew in the refrigerator door, the silicone base of Coffee Bear is not well designed and makes the carafe a difficult fit for smaller refrigerators.
Comparatively, the Willow & Everett one gallon is more for brewing large batches on a shelf. Both the half and full gallon brewers have similar quality and design issues. The spigot is not ideal; it doesn’t pour so smoothly, it can have problems with leakage, and the glass around the spigot is prone to break if handled roughly.
