Arrived yesterday. I will start testing today.

Arrived yesterday (Friday 8/12/2014).
Opened the Cold Breur this morning to begin my week of testing.
Great day to test, supposed to rain all day.
But the jingle-jangle that I heard when I lifted the box told me I was not going to be happy when I got it opened. 

Yep, the jingle-jangle was broken glass!





Looks like the point of impact may have been the outside edge of the packing box.  Nice work by Fedex.

Not sure what the next step here needs to be.
Anyone got a suggestion?

File a claim with shipper.  Coordinate with person who sent it to you.

Thanks, will do.

Let me know how it goes.

I just completed filing a case with Fedex over the phone.
They will get back with me by the end of the next Business Day (Monday 9/15/2014).

I will update with more details as they become available.

Chris,

Shipment isn't here yet. Tracking has been changed from Yesterday to Monday! Slow boat from China! 

[smico]

Thank you for the great review Chris.  This road show had so many bumps, and you are the saviour.

Chris,

The cold brewer just pulled up in the drive! I'll give her a few brews this week and then move her on to Jano! She made it here and appears to be in great shape.  jim

The first brew is in process! Very simple and Patti loves cold brew..... We'll see?

Bruer just posted a Kahlua recipe on their blog here.  I'd love to hear how this turns out.

Chris,

I have not tried that recipe but I just fixed a cold brew with Bailey's Irish Cream and vanilla creamer for Patti and she loved it. I had a sip and must admit it was excellent!

I'll be shipping this out on Thursday when I head to town to the next person!  Jim

Chris,

I'm excited to see how the Tiamo compares. I just couldn't pass up the big savings with the tiamo from OE.

My review of the Bruer is short, read Chris'. Leaving all kidding aside. I made 4 brews with the cold dripper. I found it VERY EASY to use and clean. I followed the directions and di no variations with great results. I only used wet processed coffee. No bitterness, very smooth prep, with great results. It did give me the nudge to grab a cold brewer even if it isn't the Bruer. I found the drip control to be no trouble and easy to adjust.

The Roadshow heads to Jano on Thursday after 10 days of use. Got his address today!

[jspain]

Heading to Jano today!

I enjoyed the cold bruer! It made up my mind to buy a cold bruer for the cabin here at Patti's Park!

This model is simple, easy to use, and produced an excellent cup of cold brew! I just followed the enclosed directions. Very easy to clean!
