This affordable product includes a glass carafe and stainless steel filter that will help you make great coffee every time. The Ovalware Airtight Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker holds up to four cups of coffee, and thanks to its airtight seal, it will keep your java fresh for up to two weeks.

It can also brew tasty iced tea. After testing the product, our reviewer raved that the item was "very easy to use and fits perfectly in just about any fridge, making it highly adaptable to any kitchen.

According to users, another downside of this product is that fine particles of coffee sometimes seep through the filter into the cold brew.

Style: Immersion Capacity: 34 and 51 ounces Material: Glass and stainless steel Warranty: 1-year limited. This big brewer might be a counter hog, but it brews some mighty fine cold brew concentrate and is extremely easy to use.

The OXO "Rainmaker" water dispersion technology keeps the extraction consistent while allowing the user to "set it and forget it," which is pretty much the whole point of cold brew.

Our product tester said the resulting flavor is "very smooth and flavorful" and, as an added bonus, the mesh filter prevents grounds from spilling into the coffee. The glass carafe into which the concentrate is brewed feels very delicate, but the clear markings and silicone-sealed top make it a lovely and functional vessel.

Optional paper filters can contribute even more clarity to the finished product, but the built-in metal mesh is an eco-friendly element to the contraption. Dispensing is easy and there's even a measuring cup to help you properly dilute the concentrate. It's fairly expensive for a cold brew coffee maker, but we view it as a good value nonetheless; as our reviewer writes, the "product pays for itself quickly.

Style: Immersion Capacity: 32 ounces Material: Glass, plastic, and stainless steel Warranty: Two years. If you have a rustic or country aesthetic, the County Line Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker is a beautiful match for your kitchen, and it comes at a budget price.

The design of this Mason jar may be simple, but the item is durable, efficient, and makes great coffee. Put coffee into the stainless steel filter, add water, and allow it to steep overnight.

After testing the item firsthand, our reviewer found it "super easy to use and setup" and added that it is "definitely worth buying. The jar can hold up to 2 quarts of coffee, and the silicone seal makes sure the lid stays on tightly. Our product tester noted that the filter successfully keeps coffee grinds out of the liquid and that both the steeper and jar are incredibly durable.

The only thing to watch out for is that the "instructions for making the cold brew are pretty vague. Style: Immersion Capacity: 32 and 64 ounces Material: Glass and stainless steel Warranty: 90 days.

The majority of cold brew coffee makers are low-tech and take a long time to steep. Not so with the Cuisinart Automatic Cold Brew Coffeemaker. Though a little pricey, it can whip up a 7-cup batch of cold brew in 25 to 45 minutes. The exact brew time depends on what strength you prefer the cold brew to be—mild, medium, or bold.

Even on the longest setting, however, the item far outpaces the multiple hours it takes to use most cold brew makers. And don't be daunted by the automated design.

This machine is extremely intuitive and actually works similar to a standard drip coffee maker: scoop the grounds into the filter, fill the water reservoir, and hit go.

One downside is that the machine is fairly noisy while brewing; this may be especially frustrating since it takes longer than a normal drip coffee maker to brew.

On top of that, several customers faced issues with the filter basket, saying it's on the fragile side. There are certainly pros and cons to consider with the Cuisinart Automatic Cold Brew Coffeemaker, but if you want a versatile and lightning-fast machine that does the work for you, this is the top option.

Style: Automatic Capacity: 35 ounces Material: Glass, plastic, and stainless steel Warranty: 3-year limited. Cold brew coffee is already one of the least fussy ways to get caffeinated, but this no-frills little number from Japanese coffee giant Hario couldn't be simpler.

Coffee goes into the reusable mesh basket—no cloth or paper filters to futz around with—and is submerged into cool or room-temperature water. All it takes is time to do the rest of the work: The coffee will steep for 12—24 hours, after which you lift the grounds in the basket out of the finished liquid.

While metal mesh can be somewhat tricky to scrub completely clean, it still beats the soaking and rinsing of cloth filters, and it creates far less waste than paper.

Hario is a manufacturer that knows its stuff when it comes to coffee, and this little inexpensive brewer is where it's at. Style: Immersion Capacity: 20 and 34 ounces Material: Glass and silicone rubber Warranty: 90 days. Want to make a big batch of cold brew for your next party?

Then you need the KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker, which is available in two large sizes 28 and 38 ounces and has a convenient tap for pouring. This sleek cold brew maker is made of stainless steel and glass for a sophisticated design. Simply put coffee and water into the machine, then place the whole thing in the fridge to steep.

Reviewers say the KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker makes great coffee and is ideal for entertaining guests. Style: Immersion Capacity: 28 and 38 ounces Material: Glass and stainless steel Warranty: 1 year. The cold brew process usually takes hours, but the Presto Dorothy Rapid Cold Brewer can make 22 ounces of refreshing coffee in as little as 15 minutes.

It works by spinning coffee grounds and water inside a glass carafe, quickly diffusing flavor into every sip.

Many users say the cold brew tastes better after longer intervals, even up to 30 minutes, so it may take some trial and error to find the best balance.

Luckily, it's easy to use. All you have to do is pour in water, turn the dial to your preferred spin speed try starting slowly as the device can get messy , and scoop in coffee grounds. Another drawback to watch out for, along with the mess, is that the filter isn't the absolute finest, so the last couple sips could have some coffee silt in them.

Once you're finished brewing, the carafe and filter are safe to put in the dishwasher. The Presto Dorothy also comes at a reasonable price considering it's an automatic cold brew maker. Style: Automatic Capacity: 22 ounces Material: Plastic and glass Warranty: 1 year. Kyoto-style cold brew is made by slowly dripping water over coffee grounds, in contrast to the standard immersion method used by most cold brew makers.

The brew process, also referred to as "slow drip," harkens back to the 17th century in Kyoto, Japan, where cold brew first came about. Drip towers like this one from Yama Glass are the best way to make Kyoto-style cold brew as the drop-by-drop process amplifies the smooth and sweet flavor that cold brew is already known for.

Our favorite slow dripper is the Nispira Cold Brew Drip Tower. The wood-and-glass design is stunning and makes for a unique accent piece in any kitchen. It's available in two sizes: milliliters The smaller model yields about 6 to 8 cups of coffee, making it ideal for home use. While it's certainly expensive for a cold brew maker, it's a fair price considering how intricate the design is and it's akin to other tower drippers.

Customers say assembly is easy but warn that the item feels fragile when using; on top of that, the brand does not offer a warranty.

That said, we recommend it for ardent coffee lovers who want a brewer and a beverage unlike any other. Style: Slow drip Kyoto-style Capacity: What could be easier than the Willow and Everett Cold Brew Maker?

Just fill the removable stainless steel filter with your favorite ground coffee , add water, and snap the lid on. Then place the brewer in the refrigerator to steep. It's easy to remove the filter once the coffee has steeped enough and simple to clean. Customers add that the simplicity and affordable price make the Willow and Everett Cold Brew Maker an excellent gift option.

Plus, it looks great on the counter or in the fridge. Style: Immersion Capacity: 64 and ounces Material: Glass Warranty: 1 year. The Toddy Cold Brew System provides delicious, hassle-free coffee and, after testing it ourselves, we think it's a notch above the competition. The County Line Kitchen Cold Brew Maker is worth consideration too, especially if you're looking to save a few bucks.

The cold brew coffee makers included in this article were tested firsthand by our expert food writers. Our team spent weeks evaluating the items in their kitchens to see how each one performed after everyday use. Some of the areas our reviewers focused on include how easy the brewer is to assemble, use, and clean; the style and efficiency of its design; and of course how good the coffee tastes.

After testing, our writers submitted feedback about what they liked and disliked, and they rated each brewer on the following features: usability, design, performance, and value.

By Derek Rose. A cold brew maker will rely on one of two brewing methods: immersion or slow drip. Immersion, the most common style, is when coffee grounds are soaked in cold water anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. With slow drip also called Kyoto or Dutch-style , cold water gradually drips through a bed of coffee grounds.

This process takes about half the time of immersion and does not need to be diluted. There are also automatic cold brew makers out there as well, but they will utilize one of these two primary brewing methods nonetheless.

Some cold brew coffee makers use paper filters, like a traditional drip machine, others use stainless steel mesh infusers. Metal infusers save money in the long run. Just check reviews ahead of time, as low-quality infusers may allow loose grounds to slip into the coffee. Cold brew makers are generally quite compact, especially compared to other kinds of coffee makers.

Many are designed to fit inside of a fridge, so they can be as small as an iced tea pitcher or Mason jar. That being said, you will also come across some rather large and bulky options that may not fit as easily in your kitchen.

The overall capacity of cold brew makers also varies. If you prefer brewing a big batch at once and keeping it around to drink for a couple weeks, spend the extra money on a larger option, even if takes up a little more space. While the majority of cold brew makers are affordable, there is certainly a wide range of prices.

Think about the price range you are comfortable with, from a few dollars all the way up to a few hundred. Some factors that affect item cost include size, whether it's automatic or not, and the intricacy of its design. For example, there are some incredibly elaborate drip-style cold brew makers that are a couple feet tall and contain a system of glass beakers that will be on the highest end of the price range.

Fortunately, even inexpensive models can make tasty coffee with the right bag of beans and proper measurements. The majority of cold brew makers use what is known as an immersion brewing method. One of the most popular examples in this category is the Toddy Cold Brew System—though, there are many other reliable options out there.

Immersion cold brew makers tend to produce incredibly strong coffee, even stronger than the second most common variety of cold brew maker, slow drip. While it all depends on the coffee-to-water ratio you use, you will likely have to dilute the final product with milk or water before drinking.

The main downside to immersion brewing is that it takes so much time. But, aside from that, it remains the most tried-and-true method for delicious cold brew.

Way back in the s, Dutch merchants at sea, without access to hot water, began dripping cold water over coffee grounds. Thus, cold brew was born. Centuries later, the style is still widely popular. Slow drip cold brew, also called Dutch or Kyoto-style cold brew, is made when water slowly passes through coffee grounds from above and then down into a carafe.

The process is actually similar to that of an electric drip coffee maker, but with cold brew the ordeal takes several hours. Keep in mind that drip cold brew makers are often quite tall, so measure the height of your cupboards or fridge shelves ahead of time.

Cold brew is already easy to make—all you really need is ground coffee, water, and a jar—and yet brands are simplifying the process even further by manufacturing automatic cold brew makers. There are two clear advantages to this route. First, automatic cold brew makers prepare coffee much faster than non-electric devices, some as quickly as five minutes.

Second, these items may offer greater versatility, especially regarding cold brew strength. On the downside, customers should expect automatic cold brew makers to be more expensive. The American company originated 30 years ago when founder Sam Farber, whose wife had arthritis, sought to design more ergonomic kitchen items.

The brand now manufactures everything from tiny utensils to full-sized appliances. Both options are immersion based and worth consideration.

The main difference between them is that one holds 32 ounces and the other is a more compact ounce brewer. Many brands only manufacture one kind of cold brew maker.

Not Primula. The year-old company offers several different models, from standard at-home cold brew makers to portable devices for those who want to take their joe on the go.

Most Primula options are affordably priced and use the immersion brewing process. Toddy revolutionized homemade cold brew in the s with its famous Toddy Cold Brew System. The simple, time-tested device uses immersion-style brewing to whip up extremely rich and flavorful cold brew.

Toddy manufactures other cold brew makers too, but the original Toddy Cold Brew System remains its most popular item and one certainly worth checking out.

While maintenance instructions vary from product to product, cold brew coffee makers are much easier to use and clean than other brewing devices.

However, some cold brew makers may have several small parts that need to be removed and hand-washed individually, especially if the item has a spout or overhead filter. Ease of cleaning is also affected by whether your cold brew maker uses paper filters or a metal infuser.

Filters can be thrown out after brewing but may occasionally spill loose grounds on the countertop. Infusers can generally be put in the dishwasher but should ideally be cleaned after every use. As far as brewing instructions go, the proper coffee-to-water ratio is very much up to personal preference.

If you want medium-strength cold brew that does not need to be diluted before drinking, try a ratio—one part coffee and eight parts water. Make sure to use coarse-ground coffee beans for optimal results. It's similar to the Filtron Brewer , but more well constructed.

There's even a giant 2. Photograph: Coffee Gator. There are a host of pots that look just like it on Amazon, but the included metal scoop and collapsible funnel made adding grounds and water an easier, tidier process.

I liked them so much, I began using these handy accessories with all the other cold-brew makers. Cleanup is also faster than other brewers because you can quickly detach the grounds filter, which has a twist-off bottom for easy rinsing. The downside is that the handle is made of cheap plastic and the the glass base is fragile.

I've had mine a year and have not broken it, but I recommend you treat it with care or opt for a more durable brewer. Photograph: Cuisinart. You fill the filter cylinder with coffee grounds, then use the glass pot to fill the water reservoir with cold water.

Hit the Brew button and listen to it twist and violently shake the flavor out of your grounds for 25 to 45 minutes. Out of its three modes, I preferred the Bold setting.

You can always water it down if your bean juice turns out too strong. Cleaning the grounds cylinder can be annoying if you let it sit for too long, and the coffee that comes out will have a lot of sediment, but it still tastes decent and takes approximately Photograph: Secura. Photograph: OXO.

If kitchen real estate is a bit scarce, the Oxo Compact Cold Brewer is a great pick. First off, it's adorable: It comes with a cute little glass carafe with a cork lid, and the brew cone includes the rain head we enjoy so much on the full-size Oxo cold brewers.

It's small enough to leave on your countertop, and it'll look good sitting there. The small size makes it great for a finer grind, making a stronger brew that you can dilute more when you actually drink it, which I've come to prefer. That way I can dilute with milk to a latte-esque strength, or keep it a little stronger for sipping.

In my quest to make the perfect cold-brewed coffee, I tried at least half a dozen types of beans. They're made specifically with cold brewing in mind and come coarsely ground a coarse grind is best for cold brew or as whole beans if you own a grinder. They were less bitter than some brands I tried and got closest to delivering that perfect, smooth cold-brew flavor I was craving.

Cold brewing requires a lot more grounds than normal hot brewing, so I appreciated its lower price. Some of them are below, along with the reasons why they missed the endorsement. The brewers I've tested work in different ways, but generally, I use a ratio of one part coffee grounds coarse grind preferred to either four or five parts water.

Pour a little cool or cold water over the grounds to wet them, wait a minute, then pour the rest through, preferably using some sort of filter to separate the water from the grounds.

The better the filter, the less sediment, which adds an undesirable, gritty mouthfeel to your coffee. Some recipes say to stir or shake it, and I usually let each batch sit and steep for 12 hours at room temperature or 24 hours in the fridge. I usually refrigerate, though many experts recommend brewing at room temperature.

Either way, when the brewing is complete you should remove the grounds from the brewer and refrigerate the coffee you just made.

If it's gritty, buy some paper coffee filters and filter the finished coffee one last time after brewing is complete. Yes, sort of! OpenAI quietly scrapped a promise to disclose key documents to the public.

It makes cold brew in 10 to 20 minutes by shooting water through tubes between a grounds tray and carafe.

I wanted to like the Dash, so much so that I had the company send me a second unit after the first failed. Sadly, both had numerous problems. The biggest problem with both was a small drip from the spout due to a bad seal.

The overall build quality felt cheap, and my second unit had a grounds container that wouldn't fully secure itself in its tray—it would rock back and forth a bit.

Related: Best Cheap Coffee Grinders. Using finely ground beans produces a cloudy cold brew at the end of the process. When buying pre-ground coffee, look for a coarser grind.

It takes more coffee to get a strong final cup because cold-water infusion is less efficient than using hot water. In general, cold brew requires a quarter cup of ground coffee per whole cup of water, which is about a third more than regular brew.

When brewing at home, this shouldn't cost too much more than the normal routine in the end. Moreover, while leftover hot coffee may get thrown out, unused cold-brew coffee can simply be enjoyed later. Related: Best Espresso Machines. A long soak is needed for ground coffee to infuse cold water, unlike the short brewing time when using hot water.

Cold-brew coffee needs to sit for at least 12 hours, which requires starting the night before to ensure the batch will be ready in time for breakfast.

Related: The Best Coffee Makers. Much of the flavor resides deep in the grounds, so pressing them is the best way to ensure a flavorful brew. A fine-mesh strainer is sufficient for filtering and pressing the grounds.

But the best option is cheesecloth, which can double as a cover for the infusion container. To strain, pour the coffee through the cheesecloth into a new container. Then wrap the cheesecloth around the grounds, make a ball, and twist to squeeze out the moisture — much easier and much less messy.

A simple way to make a small batch of cold brew is to use a French press. This method requires more coarsely ground coffee and more steeping time, but it eliminates some of the mess and the need for a strainer or cheesecloth. Where to buy: Amazon, Staples, Walmart. Of all the cold brews we tried, this is the only one that contains an additive—potassium phosphate, a preservative used in many packaged foods.

True to its name, the Wandering Bear Extra Strong Organic Cold Brew is indeed extra strong: Tasters described it as bitter and acidic, with a slightly sour taste that lingers after swallowing.

Most of us found the brew too bold to drink black but enjoyed it with milk. And because the company says Wandering Bear has about the same amount of caffeine as two espresso shots, diluting it is probably a good idea.

Wandering Bear Cold Brew arrived in a ounce box that contained a bag of cold brew with a tap for easy access in your fridge.

Unfortunately for me, the bag shifted in shipping. I ended up tearing it apart trying to find the tap, which had moved to the opposite side of the box.

The packaging seems designed for serving large groups rather than individual drinkers. The company also sells ounce cartons and ounce single boxes.

No matter where you are in the world, you can count on Starbucks coffee tasting like Starbucks coffee—and that goes for its store-bought cold brew.

We bought it in a six-pack of closable bottles. Aleyda liked the bottles so much that she plans to reuse them. Giselle, Aleyda, and I enjoyed the Starbucks cold brew and would definitely purchase it again, while Angela and Cesar found it too light and too bitter—an assessment that aligns with our respective love or dislike for Starbucks in general.

To evaluate the six brands of cold brew, my colleagues and I first tried them black in a blind taste test, taking note of the body, bitterness, acidity, sweetness, and aftertaste of each brand. My colleagues drink plant-based milks, with a preference for oat milk.

Darker roasts and a coarser grind size are recommended for cold brew. Cold brew is not only different from iced coffee in the way it's prepared but in the overall taste too. Traditional iced coffee is made by brewing coffee hot first and then chilling it with ice afterward.

Cold brew, on the other hand, is made by steeping coffee beans in nothing but cold water for several hours. This makes cold brew lower in acidity and able to stay fresh for a much longer period of time than iced coffee.

Timothy Johnson , the Head of Education and Training of Vibe Coffee Group, says the two drinks are so different in brew method that it's "like comparing a French press to a pour over.

Cold brew can be broken down into two categories. The other kind, cold brew concentrate , is so strong that it should be diluted with milk or water before drinking.

Most cold brew coffee makers can produce either kind. It all depends on the ratio of coffee grounds to water used. A mixture of one part coffee grounds to four parts water is commonly used for cold brew concentrate, while a ratio should be ready to drink as soon as it's finished steeping.

Yes, cold brew is less acidic than other forms of coffee, whether it be traditional iced coffee or drip. One last quick tip: dark roast coffee beans are less acidic than light roast coffee beans, so consider giving those a shot if you want even less acidity in your cold brew.
