Seemingly everyone’s go-to coffee drink in the summer is cold brew. Though it’s not the best version of iced coffee for everybody, its appeal can’t be denied. Cold-brewed coffee is smooth, flavorful and more standard (as in less acidic) than hot-brewed coffee. You can make a batch of cold brew and be set for days without having to wait for a pot of American coffee or a carafe of pour-over coffee. When it comes to cold brew brewers, all you need is a large vessel for steeping coffee grounds and a way to cleanly remove those grounds from the liquid. However not all cold brewers make a good caffeinated drink. These are the 10 perfect cold brew makers for getting the many out of your beans.
OXO Good Grips 32 Oz. Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Oxo Good Grips 32-Ounce Cold Brew Coffee Maker – $47.95 on Amazon
OXO’s cold brew coffee maker steeps it rain. The contraption features a perforated “rainwater” overhead that sprinkles water over the coffee grounds for even extraction. The brewer uses a metal filter to filter out the grinds, but OXO includes a batch of paper filters that it claims produces a cleaner, smoother beverage. Dispense cold brew at the flip of a switch much like a fundamental water cooler. At $50, it isn’t cheap, but considering a 16-ounce cup of cafe-bought cold brew costs around $5, your first batch of cold brew will nearly pay for itself.
Takeya Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker
Cheap and easy to use, the Takeya steeps a notably weaker coffee than most other brewers. For some, this might be a good thing, as many brewers create a concentrate that is meant to be diluted with water or milk. Fill the coffee filter with about eight ounces of coffee grounds, screw in the filter to the top, add water almost to the top, shake the equipment to agitate the grounds and water, then chill overnight for cold brew in the morning. The pitcher is small enough to fit on a refrigerator door, and disassembly and clean up are simple. Some have noted that the filter may discolor over time, however Takeya sells replacement filters if that bothers you.
Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Coffee Pot
Primula Burke
Primula offers a number of cold brew coffee makers, with its Burke model giving a great big-batch brew in a convenient carafe. The fine mesh filter is notable for offering better filtration than a lot of other comparable cold brew makers, and it means you’ll have a cleaner cup of joe with fewer fine sediments and debris. The wide opening of the filter brews it easy to get coffee grounds into the filter and not everywhere else. Plus, cleanup is easy, due to the truth that no one wants to handle messy wet coffee grounds.
Cold Bruer Drip coffee Maker
Rather than infusion coffee grounds in water, the Cold Bruer is a slow-drip coffee maker that impacts in a sweet, full-bodied coffee. The Cold Bruer is for true coffee nerds who can tweak their coffees for optimal flavor extraction. Watching the water drip is entertaining, but some may me dismayed by how slowly the brew takes to come to fruition; and most complain about not being able to accurately guess the time it takes for the water to finish dripping. Regardless of its flaws, the ingenuity of this slow-drip cold brew maker is apparent. In 2013, the Cold Bruer started as a project on Kickstarter before backers blew it up into a prized, fully realized coffee maker.
Cuisinart Automatic Cold Brew Coffeemaker
The only fast brewer ion this guide is this Cuisinart coffee maker, but the market is now starting to pick up and more and more models appear. Here is a page with some more fast cold brew coffee makers. H
Toddy Cold Brew System
Cold Brew System – $23.75
The Toddy system is a little bit messier than most other cold brew makers, but baristas have used the Toddy for cold brewing coffee for over 50 years. It comes with a brewing container, a glass carafe, felt filters, a rubber stopper and optional paper filters (which we strongly recommend unless you like scooping out muddy grounds). To brew, pour coffee grounds into the brewing container and let steep for up to 24 hours. To decant, remove the rubber stopper from the bottom of the brewing container and let drip into the accompanying carafe. Be fast because coffee will spurt out immediately once the stopper is removed. The felt filters last for around three months, and using the paper filter will expand its longevity while creating cleanup clean.
