Smooth, low-acid concentrate brewed overnight and ready all week. The cold brew makers ranked by expert testers and Amazon buyers.
Toddy Cold Brew System
America’s Test Kitchen’s winner, a drawdown brewer that made the most balanced, full-flavored concentrate with a felt-and-paper filter for a clean, sediment-free cup. Buyers say it performs excellently for big batches of smooth concentrate, though several report filters missing from the box.
OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker
A 32-ounce drawdown brewer with a rainmaker lid for even saturation and a flip-switch valve that drains into a glass carafe. Buyers call it easy and mess-free at 4.5 stars.
KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker
A glass-and-steel brewer with a built-in spout dispenser the Kitchn called practically foolproof. Owners praise the great-tasting coffee and easy serving.
Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Coffee Pot
A slim, fridge-door-friendly Japanese pitcher with a fine mesh filter, valued for simplicity and a medium-bodied, slightly tea-like brew. Buyers call it a straightforward, elegant brewer that beats a mason jar, making less-bitter iced coffee with easy cleanup, though the glass demands gentle handling.

Ovalware Cold Brew Coffee Maker
A minimalist conical borosilicate carafe with a rustproof stainless strainer and airtight seal that keeps brew fresh up to two weeks. Buyers call it easier than a French press, praising the robust, bitterness-free flavor, handsome design, and quick cleanup, with many brewing tea in it too.
