I understand that, but see no advantage of this vs a regular French Press.

Nice reviews....

Also you want something that will stay sealed in the fridge for 24hours
most french presses are not sealed

Been very happy with this one

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FFLY64U

On sale with coupon for 16.99

Got one as a gift in March then bought another for brother in law and another for Pesach and another for my Rav who answered my Shabbos/YT questions about use.

Little to no mess in making coffee, sits in fridge door and about $2.00 of Gevalia coffee grounds makes 64 oz of cold brew.

You don't want the grinds sitting there always. This type is much better. You can remove the grinds very easily. (The price he mentions is won't make 64 oz-it is for the 32 oz size.

Bought a similar one at Costco. Bought coffee beans at TJ. They have a grinder so was able to set it to coarse which is what is recommended

You are correct, the container makes 32 oz of cold brew. What I tried to say was that it makes 64 oz of iced coffee -- two 32 oz cups of iced coffee when you pour the cold brew over ice and add milk.

How do you prevent sludge on the bottom? Do you sift your grounds first?

mix every couple of hours.
and it gets sifted in this pitcher.
but I usually like to pour it thru a paper filter to clean it further

Use grinds that are course, the more course the grind, the less will slip through the filter.

Agree about swirling and mixing too.

There is a difference between sludge and grinds.

Grinds slip through the filter when you use coffee that is not course ground.

Sludge is really microparticles that drift to the bottom and then adhere to each other (think - bottom of a glass of Nestle Quik chocolate milk).

If you shake or mix, the microparticles dissipate and you wont get the sludge.
