I'll be that guy. The picture shown is cold drip. Cold brew is when you mix coffee and water and left it in the fridge for x hours.

But really, among the pictures, I'd pick Napoletana simply because I've never had them.

I think they really mean cold brew. The time says 5 hours and maybe the machine is a filter thingy after they cold brew the coffee in the fridge.

Maybe, but 5 hours isn’t much time for a true cold brew. I am leaning towards cold drip, where the ice water slowly drips onto the grounds. In the right setup maybe that would take 5 hours.

Looks like you're right. Does five hours seem anywhere near enough for cold brew, though? I typically aim for around 36 hours.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I've had overnight coldbrews, so five hours definitely sounds viable.

I typically do 18 hours. I've found longer than that the coffee tends to taste off.

36 hours.....that's got to be some bitter coffee.

I’ve never heard of it either.

Edit: kinda reminds me of a Vietnamese coffee maker. Just with the integrated boiler.
