Frequently asked questions
Can the Braun OptiBrew Pro brew a single cup and a full carafe?

Cold Brew is one of the five listed brew styles. The listing claims it can be made in minutes, but that timing is a manufacturer claim rather than an independently verified result.

What comes in the package?
The stated contents list includes a #4 paper filter, carafe, charcoal filter, large carafe for drip coffee, filter, instruction manual, measuring scoop and water tank. It lists both a carafe and a large carafe, so confirm the exact package contents with the selected listing.
