Oxo Compact vs Primula Burke Side-by-Side Comparison
Overall Verdict
The Primula Burke is an immersion filter brewer. While not our favorite brewing style, the Primula Burke is too focused on convenience at the expense of actually making a worthwhile cold brew coffee. The ultra-fine filter produces very little sediment, but at the same time, it doesn’t allow enough cross-flow for a good brew to develop.
The Primula Burke is well thought out in terms of how the lid works and the filter attaches. With a plastic and nylon filter, however, it’s not the most ideal for repurposing.
The OXO is one of the easiest free-style brewers to work with and the cold brew concentrate decants effortlessly via the bottom valve. The filter is a reusable stainless steel mesh, so no additional purchases are necessary. The brew ratio recommended by the measurement markings works really well, although you can adapt it as you please.
