Hario Mizudashi vs Coffee Gator Side-by-Side Comparison
Overall Verdict
Most cold brew coffee makers we tested out-performed the Hario Mizudashi. The Hario doesn’t work as a cold brew coffee maker due to its non-airtight lid design, short filter, and poor brew ratio. Its tall and slender glass carafe is, however, an eye-catcher.
If you’re happy with an average to mild brew and the convenience of a small brewer for a refrigerator door bin, the Coffee Gator is not a bad choice. Its twist-to-pour lid design is also convenient. Additionally, it comes with a couple of thoughtful extras namely a stainless steel measuring spoon and a silicone funnel for pouring in grounds and water.
