Product Origins

It was April 2021, and I stumbled onto cold brew looking for a better morning caffeine fix at home. I loved being able to make a batch of concentrate for the week and dilute it to whatever ratio I liked. But every method had a catch. Bags and cloth filters left a sediment-heavy brew and kept water from fully reaching the grounds. Metal filters let grit through. And gravity filtration took forever.

I knew there had to be a better way, so I did what anyone with a problem would do. I taught myself CAD, started prototyping on my 3D printer, and had my first proof of concept within a few weeks.

Early JARVA prototypes

JARVA started with a simple goal: make better cold brew at home, without the hassle. After months of experimenting, tweaking, and testing, we landed on a design that made the whole process easier, faster, and cleaner.

Our Kickstarter backers turned it from a concept into a real product, and today thousands of coffee lovers have JARVA in their kitchens. Their feedback still shapes every improvement we make.
