Coldwave: A product review

The short answer is that this product works very well and is exactly as advertised. We were privileged enough to get our hands on a couple of units this week. I have to say that it's too bad this wasn't available sooner. The 16oz cold wave insert is small enough to fit in your freezer. I kept it in there with the pitcher because if your house is anything like mine, once lids get separated from the containers ...they never come back together. 

I made a full pot of coffee and as soon as it was finished I poured 16 oz of hot coffee into the plastic container and then put in the insert. I looked at the second hand on my watch and after 30 seconds I had a nice iced coffee. 

I always worry about an unpleasant aftertaste when putting a hot liquid in anything made from plastic. But none at all. I did a straight taste test between cold coffee from the Coldwave and a cup that had been chilled in the fridge. No difference. 

I gave the unit a quick rinse and put it back in the freezer for next time.

If you're a barista and get only the occasional request for iced coffee or tea this unit should definitely be sitting in your freezer.
