Short answer: The Mizudashi MCPN-14 pot is the practical pick. It makes more (1000 mL vs 650 mL), costs less ($25.50 vs $34.50 at Hario USA) and has a handle. Choose the Cold Brew Coffee Wine Bottle FIC-70 if you want a slim, handle-free bottle that fits a fridge door and looks good on the table.
How we compare: every spec in this article comes from official manufacturer specifications and product pages (starting with Hario USA’s Mizudashi page and Cold Brew Coffee Wine Bottle page), all listed under Sources below. We don’t run hands-on tests, and if a spec isn’t published, we say so. Last updated: October 2026.
I live in Japan, where both of these Hario cold brewers sit side by side in kitchen shops every summer. They brew the same way but are shaped for different fridges and tables.
I haven’t tested these side by side. Everything below comes from the manufacturers’ official product pages, linked at the end. If a spec isn’t published, I say so instead of guessing.

Key differences at a glance
- Capacity: The Mizudashi pot brews 1000 mL, while the wine bottle brews 650 mL.
- Shape: The wine bottle is a slim 87 mm wide with no handle, while the Mizudashi pot is 138 mm wide with a handle.
- Price: Hario USA lists the Mizudashi MCPN-14 at $25.50 and the FIC-70 bottle at $34.50.
- Closure: The bottle seals with a silicone spout and stopper, while the pot has a polypropylene lid.
- What stays the same: Both are Japanese-made heatproof glass cold brewers with a fine polyester mesh filter, brewed in the fridge.
The 4 Differences That Matter
1. Volume
1000 mL versus 650 mL. If you drink cold brew every day, the pot means fewer batches.
2. Where it fits
The bottle is narrow enough for many fridge door pockets, though at 300 mm it is a little taller than the pot. The pot is wider and needs shelf space.
3. Pouring and serving
The pot has a handle. The bottle pours through a silicone spout, and Hario sells it as a bottle you can put on the table.
4. Cleaning
Hario Japan’s store says customers who prioritize easy washing and capacity usually choose the Mizudashi pot, while those who prioritize design and storage choose the bottle.
What’s the same
Same idea: coffee grounds in a fine mesh filter, cold water, about 8 hours in the fridge. Both are made in Japan from Hario’s heatproof glass.
Who Should Buy Which?
Choose the Mizudashi MCPN-14 if you:
- Want the most cold brew per batch
- Want a handle
- Want the lower price
Choose the Cold Brew Coffee Wine Bottle if you:
- Need it to fit a fridge door
- Want a bottle to serve at the table
- Brew smaller batches
The View from Japan
In Japan the bottle is the フィルターインコーヒーボトル FIC-70 (650 mL, 5 cups, ¥2,750, 71 mm mouth), and the pot is the 水出し珈琲ポット MCPN-14 (1,000 mL, 8 cups, ¥2,200). Answering a customer question, Hario’s Japanese store wrote that people who value design and storage tend to choose the bottle, while those who value easy washing and capacity tend to choose the pot.
Rakuten reviewers of the MCPN-14 praise how easily it makes smooth iced coffee and say it fits the fridge like a 2-liter bottle. A Japanese blogger who used Hario’s tea version of the wine bottle for two years liked its size and seal, but found the silicone spout grooves hard to clean.
