The Slow Drip Tower

A Yama glass tower that drips ice water through the grounds one drop at a time, a Baratza Encore, a scale, the tower's paper filters and Third Wave Water's cold brew minerals. Clean, sweet cold brew you can watch being made.

For cold brew drinkers who want the slow-drip version, and a centerpiece for the counter.
