question regarding cold brew (lemmy.world)

Hey fellow coffee friends. As it is hot season here in Germany I actually enjoy my coffee cold, so I set up a cold brew every two or three days.

Well, when I got into that habit I got the hint to never let the brew touch metal as it alters the taste to the worse, it gets sour and „off“.

Now my question is, is this a myth? I see cold brew makers which would be way more convenient than my measurement cup/cotton filter method, but all of them have some kind of metal filter, so I am very reluctant to buy one of those. Has anyone insights and our experience on this topic?

I bought some large paper bags on Amazon that work like tea bags. It takes longer (I usually let it sit for 2-4 days) but the effort is extremely low. And you never need to use any metal :)
