Yama Glass Cold Drip Coffee Maker Overview

This Yama Glass cold brew coffee maker makes great cold brew and is practically guaranteed to be a conversation piece at your next dinner party.

This cold brew tower consists of 3 tiers.

  • Top: Holds your water and ice
  • Middle: Holds your coffee grounds and water
  • Bottom: Holds the extracted cold brew

Constructed from high-quality glass, water drips down from the top glass beaker, onto a paper filter, into the coffee grounds, through the ceramic filter, and finally into the serving carafe below.

Additionally, the brass valves are adjustable, so the home barista can customize the rate of the water passing through the grounds.

Though it’s a bit spendy for the average home barista looking for a quick cold brew, it’s perfect for the coffee connoisseur looking for that perfect cup.

Though the default setting for this model extracts coffee in 12 hours, you can control both the rate of water passing through the grounds and the amount of coffee in the middle carafe.

If you fill the center carafe with one pound of coffee and adjust the valve to release one drop per second, you’ll end up with a more concentrated cold brew.

While this cold brew coffee tower wins brownie points for being cool to watch, it is definitely not the right fit for every household. Homes with pets, children, and clumsy adults like myself may cause any one of the glass beakers to shatter, which would then render this beautiful work of art useless.

Additionally, the 25-cup capacity only applies to 25, 4 oz cups. However, if your cold brew is concentrated enough, you could probably get away with filling your mug the rest of the way with cold water, creamer, or milk.

Pros
  • The elegant design is both beautiful and functional
  • Larger capacity makes a great option for families and batch brewing
  • Adjustable valve allows you to control the rate of extraction
  • High-quality glass parts
  • Reusable ceramic filter
Cons
  • Pricey when compared to other cold brew coffee makers
  • Not suitable for families with young children or pets
  • Takes up a fair amount of counter space
  • Needs quite a bit of clearance as the product is 44.5″ tall

About The Coffee Maven

Bryan De Luca

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
