Full Circle Brumi Cold Brewer Portable Pour Over Coffee Mug, 12 oz, Black

I have been using the Full Circle Brumi for over a week now and it is a total game changer! I am a working mom and the Brumi makes my mornings so much easier. The Pour Over method is very quick and easy. It keeps my coffee hot for hours and is super portable. I also enjoy using the cold brewing method. I am able to prep the Brumi the night before and my fresh cold brew coffee is ready first thing in the morning. With my busy schedule it is important to me to have an easy to clean product, Brumi is very easy to clean. Overall, I love the ease and style of this product.

This cold coffee brewer is a fantastic idea - if it had a filter reservoir big enough to brew good strong coffee. What you get is a reservoir so small it will only brew weak, see-through, flavorless coffee reminiscent of dirty dishwashing liquid.Now, there are a lot of people who have grown up on weak hot-brewed American diner-type coffee and I think they would like the taste of this coffee. But if you like strong, flavorful coffee the way that Italians or Central Europeans drink, or the one you get at Starbucks or Peet's, you are out of luck with this brewer.Making cold-brew coffee is a fantastic idea and you can read up on the health benefits online. It is an all-around winner. But, you need to know certain things. One is that you will need to use a good amount more ground coffee beans to get the same depth of flavor you like from a hot/steam-brewed type cup. Running cold water through ground-up coffee beans will by definition yield less flavor and depth than running hot water or steam through it. So, you need more ground coffee for a cold-brewed cup to yield the strength you like. The filter reservoir on this brewer is woefully inadequate for that.The designers at Brumi decided to make the insert small enough to never yield a good strong cup. The most you will get - even if filling the filter to the brim with ground coffee - is a weak, watered-down brew. It is pretty infuriating given that there is such an easy solution that would satisfy all people - just make the filter bigger. If they made a filter twice as big (long), you could fill it half and get your weak cold brew or fill it all the way and get a strong cold brew. This is something the manufacturer could easily fix by just adding an optional bigger filter. If they did, this would be a Five Star gadget.I have tried everything to yield an acceptable result, but nothing worked.- following the manufacturer's instructions on how much coffee to use - weak coffee- following the instructions on the type of grind to use - weak coffee- using the not-recommended fine grind - a bit stronger coffee, but still a watered-down, weak taste- filling the reservoir almost to the brim, with both fine and less fine grounds - a backbreaking endeavor as it takes about 60 minutes to brew a full Brumi, because the reservoir is so full of ground coffee you can only add a thimble full of water at a time and then need to use a chopstick to stir the grounds so *any* of that liquid makes it through the filter. This resulted in an almost acceptable strong good brew but it was so cumbersome to do, I gave up after about 10 tries. It totally defeats the purpose of a cold-brew being able to be done overnight easily, if you spend the last hour before going to bed trying to make water run through your filter.- cold-brewing the coffee and then leaving it in the fridge for 2 days or more to extract some more flavor - still a weak brew.All the brews you can make in this machine are see-through - a telltale sign you have coffee that is multitudes too weak. Good strong coffee is black, not transparent. If you add milk to a good strong cup of coffee, it will take you quite a large amount to even get a dark brown cup and even more milk to get a light brown one. Here, a few drops of milk, and it is light brown. :-(IOW, there is nothing you can do to undo the smallness of this filter. Which is a real bummer, as the idea of the Brumi and the design are very good. The double-paned glass works well and insulates. The filter being stainless steel is wonderful. Both those materials are safe and healthy and a cut above what lots of coffee makers offer. The visual of the design (sleek glass container) is very pleasing and the colors pretty. The pour function works well. The way the filter rests above the coffee (for a hot-brew) is also well-thought out and works well.All this to say that this brewer would be 5 stars if it had an adequately large filter. As it is, do not buy it if you like strong coffee. It is a waste of your money. If you like weak coffee only, this will work well for you. Becasue of this, I cannot give it more than 2 stars, but if the manufacturer ever decides to offer a larger filter, I will give them a review of 5 stars.

I was really excited to get my Brumi because 1) it comes in my favorite color and 2) I've been needing a new coffee travel mug and this is perfect for making coffee on the go. A lot of times I like making my coffee at work so it's nice to be able to just throw the coffee grounds in the mug before I leave my house and use the hot water at work. I was a little nervous that the glass would be hot but it was totally fine. I just wish it was a tiny bit bigger because let's face it - I need LOTS of coffee. But other than that, I love my Brumi. It's so cute and functions really well!

I have owned two of these, and both times they have broken within weeks of purchase. I understand that it is glass, but I have had other glass products that are much more durable. The first time it broke because someone bumped it with their foot and tipped it over. The second time I set it down (apparently too hard) and it shattered. Even if those were just flukes, I also didn't love the product for two reasons - it leaks all over, and it doesn't make very much coffee. Since I clearly was too dangerous for this product, I decided to buy a cold brew maker that made larger batches and then put the coffee in my own durable cups. That product is much cheaper and more worth it in my opinion. This is too much money for what you get.

This is really nice, I can make coffee on the go. Just need a way to hold and make hot water.Pros:I think the cold brew option works really well.For hot it is fine, but you have to be really careful you don't pour too fast.Cons:The only real important con is that it flows really poorly when you get near the end. I think the little holes in the filter where the air must pass are too full of liquid keeping it from flowing. It's very annoying. If I hold it up almost vertical I can get just enough to be ok, but it is really annoying for an otherwise great product.The lid spout flip goes up to rest opposite the drinking spout, so it has coffee in it that is most likely to get on your nose. This should have been a different design. Also, it is hard to pull up, you have to apply pressure toward to center of the lid, but the little lip where you can pull it makes you apply pressure outward, so it's backwards and a bit annoying.

I like the overall design and ease of use but the bottom broke out of it in less than one month of use. This was a Christmas gift to my wife who is a Special Education teacher and does not have a history of treating personal belongings harshly. I was very surprised yesterday when she showed me what happened to the bottom.

Its the best, easiest way to take your fresh brew coffee anywhere. Just love the innovated design and the ease to clean and make a fresh brew coffee. Would recommend to all my family and friends.Follow-up. My glass container cracked, and when I reached out to Full Circle Brumi to see if I could order just a glass container, they offered to send me new one! Can't wait to receive it and go back to making the best tasting coffee every morning.

I loved this coffee mug. Pour over coffee is my preferred method and this mug made it easy to brew and go....But, it broke from the inside only 2 months later. Nothing was put inside, other than coffee, and now there is a small crack allowing liquid to enter the double wall and making it obsolete. I’m so sad, but I won’t be purchasing again; it is pretty pricey.

I gave this as a gift to my daughter. She used it for less than two months and was happy with it. Then, she knocked it against a cabinet and it broke. I contacted Full Circle to see if I could get just the glass as a replacement. They said they did not carry it, but offered to sell me a new mug. Wow! Great customer service! :/ Not at all helpful and since it's now useless, she threw away the other parts.Full Circle brands itself as an environmentally-friendly company, producing environmentally-friendly products, hence the name. However, they wouldn't even provide me with replacement glass at my expense. We had to throw perfectly good parts into a landfill since they are not recyclable where I live. Very disappointing experience and I will not be buying from them again.

The cold brew came out wonderful but.... the container/filter needs a redesign or some tweeks. The coffee in the filter overflows when you pour in the water and the ground beans get into the coffee. If there was a way to secure the filter so it wouldn’t spill the ground beans it would be better. The best option is to pour the water first (1/3 way full) then place the beans in the filter (half way filling the filter). Once the coffee and water are in... you can either gently push the grounds beans with a spoon or add more water drop by drip or leave it as is but not have less coffee.

Ich habe die Full Circle BRUMI über Hot und Cold Brew mit Neugier bestellt und muss sagen, dass ich von der Qualität sehr enttäuscht bin. Ich habe zwei kaputte Flaschen erhalten. Bei einer Flasche war der Boden des äußeren Glases heraus gebrochen, also habe ich Ersatz angefordert und sofort erhalten (danke Amazon). Bei der zweiten war an exakt der gleichen Stelle bereits ein Sprung im Boden. Ist man mit dem Finger über die Flasche gefahren, so konnte man den Sprung fühlen. Keine Flasche, in die ich ein heißes Getränk füllen möchte - auch diese Flasche habe ich reklamiert. Eine dritte Flasche war heile.Ich habe die Flasche bei einer Dienstreise ausprobiert. Leider hält bei der dritten Flasche der Klick-Verschluss der Trinköffnung nicht dicht - ich konnte aber den Verschluss der kaputten Flasche behalten, so dass ich Ersatz hatte. Das Getränk war aber nach 3 Stunden komplett kalt.Die Qualität der Flasche ist sehr schade, da ich den Filter ganz pfiffig finde. Der Kaffee im Cold Brew Verfahren ist toll geworden. Der Kaffee im Hot Brew Verfahren ist mir persönlich mit den angegebenen 2 TL zu wässrig. Das lässt sich aber mit ein bisschen mehr Kaffee beheben.Ich kann die Falsche leider nicht empfehlen. Es ist ein bisschen Glücksspiel, ob man eine heile, funktionstüchtige Flasche erhält.

デザインも良く使い勝手も良いのですが強いて言えば会社などで紅茶などを入れてその後茶葉を取り出さないといつまでも出てしまうので濾し器を取り出さないといけないし取り出してから何かに容器などに入れておかないといけないのが少し不便。しかし二重構造だから熱くないし濾し器以外は本当に満足のいく商品です

I loved the design and the '' brew and go'' concept however the quality of the double wall mug is questionable, I don't know if I got a broken one or it's because of the package was left in front of the door when it was insanely cold-30C, but the liquid found a way through and got stuck between the mug walls.
