Know before you buy
The Shizuku uses a pre-calibrated internal system that maintains a steady drip rate automatically. You do not need to manually fiddle with valves or timers to achieve a consistent extraction.
The brewing process typically takes between 1 and 2 hours. This is significantly faster than traditional immersion cold brew methods, which often require 12 to 24 hours.
Yes, the slow-drip method is excellent for cold-brewing tea. The gentle extraction process helps pull out delicate floral or herbal notes without the bitterness that can come from high-heat steeping.
Yes, the components of the Shizuku are dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. However, hand-washing the glass carafe is recommended to prevent accidental breakage.
The carafe has a maximum capacity of 600ml. This amount is ideal for creating a concentrated coffee base that can be diluted with water, ice, or milk to suit your preference.
The brewer is made from durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass. While it is sturdy, it should be handled with the same care as any high-quality glass kitchenware to avoid chips or cracks.
