Through her eyes, the moving story of a young Rwandan girl born with clubfeet and the risk she takes for the chance to walk on the bottoms of her feet for the first time.
Rebeka Uwitonze was born in Rwanda with curled and twisted feet, which meant she had to crawl or be carried to get around. At nine years old, she gets an offer that could change her life. A doctor in the US might be able to turn her feet. But it means leaving her own family behind and going to America on her own.

Her Own Two Feet tells Rebeka's inspiring story through her eyes, with the help of one of her hosts. She travels from Rwanda to Austin, Texas, to join the Davis family, despite knowing almost no English. In the face of dozens of hospital visits and painful surgeries, Rebeka's incredible bravery and joyful spirit carry her to the opportunity of a lifetime. A stunning debut about hope, perseverance, and what becomes possible when you take a risk.

Better than expected (Updated)!
This is a simple and effective solution to making a good cold brew. Too bad the process takes forever (no fault to the product). BUT if you want a stronger taste, after using purified cold water (try to get beans wet), let it sit out for 12 hours or longer but then place in the fridge and you'll notice it darker and richer. It is impossible if you think some ground beans won't end up in your coffee, they will BUT when you pour, as long as you leave the metal ring in, a little bit of coffee (water) and the beans usually get stuck and don't come out. If you're really nuts about it, you can use a cheese cloth but a bit of grounds won't hurt you and not sure you'd really taste it as it's so fine, barely noticeable. Those who keep braking the glass? You must use cold water if you immediately start cleaning the pot. Do NOT run under hot water while the pot is cold, you or course will shatter the glass at some point. Update (07/29/2020) I am still using this product and no issues with it. But it does leave the coffee grounds smell to it no matter what beans I use, so wash with soap after every use. Be sure to know, water will evaporate and also get soaked up in the coffee beans, so adding a little more water above Max may be helpful. Also, pro tip, when you take out the insert with the beans, put it over the lid and tilt it and let it rest for 3 Mins so all the water from the beans pours out, do NOT force it with your fingers as you'll get more grounds and will have a harsh flavor.

Great for iced tea and easy to use
Style: 51oz|Conical Styles
I use this for making iced tea and it works perfectly. You can use tea bags or loose-leaf tea, and both come out great. It’s easy to fill, strain, and clean, and I like that I can just keep it in the fridge and pour as I go. The airtight seal keeps everything fresh. Super convenient and a staple for my fridge now

Beautiful, convenient and plastic free..but on the small size
Style: 51oz|Conical Styles
I wanted a replacement for my Mr Coffee ice tea maker, which I loved, but I didn’t love the plastic, BPA free or not. Actually, I much prefer making tea in this tea maker. You need to plan ahead, to let it steep, but there is no need to deal with all the ice and dripping onto the counter like when using the Mr Coffee. I wanted to get the larger pot, but the larger sized variant is very tall and thin and would not fit in my refrigerator, even though I do have a good sized fridge. I do wish this one was a bit bigger, but for every day use this is just fine. I think it is simple and beautiful. Totally glad I purchased it.
