It requires a whole lot of patience\u2014and really it\u2019s just there to let the coffee express itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And so the best cold-brew coffee maker isn\u2019t necessarily the most high-tech. It\u2019s often the device that best gets out of the way, granting cool-steeped coffee grounds the space to slowly release their natural sweetness and most delicate flavors\u2014not to mention a bracing hit of caffeine. The result is a refreshing and low-acidity brew that\u2019s gentle on both the stomach and the palate. But as with all subtle things, what goes wrong while making cold brew can also be subtle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">We carefully tested dozens of cold-brew devices to find our favorites, the ones that consistently lead to a full-flavored and full-bodied cup without off-notes or unwanted grittiness. We assessed ease of use, consistency of brews, simple messiness, and simple beauty. And we also tried a new generation of devices that aim to hurry up the process, from slow-drip coffee devices that look like chemistry sets to some of the most hyped new devices in the coffee world\u2014to see whether any of them can match up to the long, slow process of just letting coffee be itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Be sure to check out our other coffee guides to round out your coffee tool set, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-espresso-machines\/\">Best Espresso Machines<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-latte-and-cappuccino-machines\/\">Best Latte &amp; Cappuccino Makers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-portable-coffee-makers\/\">Best Portable Coffee Makers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-coffee-subscriptions\/\">Best Coffee Subscriptions<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-coffee-grinders\/\">Best Coffee Grinders<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em>Updated December 2024: We&#8217;ve added the Fellow Aiden, Cumulus, Bodum Melior and Bean, Kinto Capsule, Ovalware Cold Brew Maker, and Mueller Smoothbrew, and adjusted picks, pricing, and product descriptions throughout.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/v2\/offers\/wir_generic_ctrl?source=HCL_WIR_EDIT_HARDCODED_0_COMMERCE_AFFILIATE_ZZ\">Power up with unlimited access to WIRED<\/a>.<\/strong> Get best-in-class reporting that&#8217;s too important to ignore for just <del>$2.50<\/del> $1 per month for 1 year.

It is, instead, a process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Cold brew was first documented and refined in Japan as far back as the 1600s, and the idea behind it is quite simple: Let coffee grounds steep in cool water. Add nothing. Strain and drink the result.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">While other coffee makers rely on heat or pressure to quickly extract flavors from coffee grounds, cold brew relies, instead, on time. Lots of time. At room temperature, coarse-ground coffee must be steeped for 12 or 16 or 24 hours before the beans release their optimal flavors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">It is a gentle process, with gentle results. When left for hours to steep in cool water, coffee grounds can reveal flavors that are smoother and more subtle and maybe even sweet, devoid of many of the acidic and bitter compounds extracted by hot coffee machines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Those aggressive compounds are what can make hot coffee such a well-rounded and exhilarating ride, of course. But cold-extracted coffee offers different comforts: the full and satisfying creaminess of fats slowly coaxed from the bean, light floral and tea-like notes that might otherwise go lost, natural sweetness that may serve to remind you that coffee is a fruit. Cold brew is also less harsh, a boon for sensitive stomachs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Note that iced coffee, which involves brewing coffee hot and then icing it back down, is not cold brew. Those compounds released during hot brewing will lead to a much different character, with more oxidation and often higher acidity or bitterness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-flYHKh joOetR\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\"><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"5 different cold brew coffee makers sitting in a windowsill all with clear main containers with brown liquid inside\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/674b4a43d1e506f8f872936a\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/How-We-Test-Cold-Brew-Coffee-Makers-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Matthew-Korfhage.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/674b4a43d1e506f8f872936a\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/How-We-Test-Cold-Brew-Coffee-Makers-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Matthew-Korfhage.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/674b4a43d1e506f8f872936a\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/How-We-Test-Cold-Brew-Coffee-Makers-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Matthew-Korfhage.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/674b4a43d1e506f8f872936a\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/How-We-Test-Cold-Brew-Coffee-Makers-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Matthew-Korfhage.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/674b4a43d1e506f8f872936a\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/How-We-Test-Cold-Brew-Coffee-Makers-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Matthew-Korfhage.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/674b4a43d1e506f8f872936a\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/How-We-Test-Cold-Brew-Coffee-Makers-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Matthew-Korfhage.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/674b4a43d1e506f8f872936a\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/How-We-Test-Cold-Brew-Coffee-Makers-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Matthew-Korfhage.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/674b4a43d1e506f8f872936a\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/How-We-Test-Cold-Brew-Coffee-Makers-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Matthew-Korfhage.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Matthew Korfhage<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Cold brew steeps for a very long time. This leaves plenty of time for variables, for temperature fluctuations, and for off flavors to seep into the coffee from the fridge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Wherever possible, we tested multiple similar cold-brew makers at the same time, under the same conditions. Which is to say, we left them on the same counter when we tested room-temperature brewing. And we put them in the same fridge at the same time, when we used the fridge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">We then tested the resulting cold brew against cold brew made with other devices. We did so blind, when possible, and against packaged cold brew made with the same or similar beans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">For our first round of testing, we used the recipe recommended on the device\u2019s packaging. We also tested each device\u2019s capacity to make good drinking-strength coffee at a 12:1 water to coffee ratio, and its ability to make concentrate at a 5:1 ratio. In general, we tested room-temperature cold brew after around 16 hours, and waited 24 hours for fridge brew. That said, we also sampled at earlier intervals, and let coffee steep longer if extraction was poor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Coffee makers were assessed for their ease of use, ease of cleaning, flexibility in making coffee at different strengths, elegance of design, simple lovability, and how much space they took up in a fridge or on a counter. But in the end, the results mattered most: If a device can\u2019t make good coffee, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s pretty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-flYHKh joOetR\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-hZxKcV bwkkoI\">\n<p class=\"paywall\">What Are the Different Kinds of Cold Brew Makers?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Classic cold brew makers take one of two forms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Full-immersion bucket brewers, like the classic Toddy, fully immerse coffee grounds in a single container, then strain and\/or filter the result to get drinkable coffee. This method allows a great deal of flexibility in the coffee\u2019s concentration, allowing home brewers to make coffee concentrate that can later be diluted to drinking strength.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Filter-basket pitchers have an important distinction: Rather than just be scooped into the water, coffee grounds are instead scooped into a filter basket within a carafe of water. That removes the need to filter out coffee grounds from the resulting cold brew: all one needs to do is remove the basket, and drink the cold brew from the carafe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">On the one hand, the pitcher-style brewers are easier and less messy. On the other, they tend to limit the user\u2019s flexibility in choosing ratios of coffee to water. In the worst case, they can lead to uneven or poor extraction if filters get clogged, or if coffee is packed too densely. This could lead to thin and tea-like coffee, or unevenly extracted coffee that\u2019s both weak and bitter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In recent years, another process of cold brewing has risen to prominence. The slow-drip or \u201ccold drip&#8221; method, developed hundreds of years ago in Kyoto, involves dripping cold water one drop at a time onto a bed of coffee grounds, and letting the water slowly filter through the coffee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This method takes significantly less time than immersion cold brew, about 6 to 12 hours, but requires much more attention to ensure good results. It also makes slightly different coffee: Compared to immersion cold brew, slow drip makes a lighter, brighter brew with a less full body but more pronounced aromatics. Some prefer this method to highlight flavor notes in single origin coffees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Other new-school cold brew devices attempt to speed up the process using pressure or agitation or vacuum distillation, or by doing a quick \u201chot bloom\u201d to release gases and pull a bit of flavor before a cold brew or slow-drip. Some of these methods work better than others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And, it bears repeating: Iced coffee, or \u201cflash brew,\u201d kinda isn&#8217;t cold brew at all. It&#8217;s hot coffee that&#8217;s been rapidly chilled. It&#8217;s a different drink with different characteristics, the same way an Americano isn&#8217;t drip coffee. But it&#8217;s still cold, and sometimes it&#8217;s nice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-flYHKh joOetR\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-hZxKcV bwkkoI\">\n<p class=\"paywall\">How Do You Make Cold-Brew Coffee?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Step One: Mix<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I&#8217;ve had great cold brew with every grind size. It just depends on what kind of body you want in the finished product. For lighter cold brew, go coarser; for darker, heavier cold brew, go finer. The amount I use is usually about one part coffee grounds to four or five parts water. Depending on your brewer, you usually just pour water over your grounds and stick the whole thing on your counter or in your fridge. You&#8217;ve likely heard that you should wet your grounds for a few minutes first, to \u201cbloom\u201d them, but blooming your cold brew doesn&#8217;t, in my experience, make any difference to the final product. Because we&#8217;re using cold or cool water, any off-gassing the coffee going to do will happen very slowly and during the rest phase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Step Two: Rest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Next, I give it a light stir to make sure the grounds are fully wetted, but I don&#8217;t like to shake them or stir them too heavily at this point. We want time and gravity to do the work for us. I always refrigerate, which takes longer for the aforementioned reasons, but I like the results I get from going low and slow with cold brew. Patience is our friend here. Let it rest in your fridge for 24 hours, taste, then decide whether you want to give it another eight to 12 hours. When the brewing is complete remove the grounds from the brewer and refrigerate the coffee you just made. You\u2019ll probably want to dilute it some with milk or water when drinking. If you don\u2019t like the taste, adjust your methods a bit or try different coffee beans. <em>\u2014Jaina Grey<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-flYHKh joOetR\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-hZxKcV bwkkoI\">\n<p class=\"paywall\">Does Cold-Brew Coffee Have More Caffeine?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"paywall\">That depends, but generally no, not really.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The amount of caffeine in cold brew depends on its concentration and the ratio of coffee to water. It also depends on how long you steep it. Drink a strong cup of cold brew, and it will have more caffeine. But the same could be said of hot brew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In general, heat speeds up chemical reactions, cold slows them down. Cold water extracts caffeine (and all the other compounds that comprise the flavor of coffee) from coffee grounds much more slowly than hot water does. But because cold brew steeps longer, and uses more coffee grounds, cold-brewed coffee <em>can<\/em> have higher caffeine than a hot cup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">A 2017 study in Canada pegged a typical 12-ounce cup of drinking-strength cold brew at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/323191961_Can_Cold_Brew_Coffee_Be_Convenient_A_Pilot_Study_For_Caffeine_Content_in_Cold_Brew_Coffee_Concentrate_Using_High_Performance_Liquid_Chromatography\" target=\"_blank\">around 200 mg of caffeine<\/a>. The same-sized hot cup, whether Americano or drip, can careen wildly from half to double that amount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This is complicated still further by the fact many caf\u00e9s will pour your cold brew over ice, or leave room for even more dilution with milk. You&#8217;re often getting <em>less<\/em> caffeine from a caf\u00e9 cold brew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">That said, cold brew is easy to drink. So it&#8217;s easy to get a lot of caffeine into your system quicker than you might expect. If cold brew makes you especially jittery, this is probably why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-flYHKh joOetR\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-hZxKcV bwkkoI\">\n<p class=\"paywall\">How Long Does Cold Brew Coffee Last?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"paywall\">A couple days to a couple weeks, depending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Oxidation is one of the main things that makes old coffee taste stale and acrid. The oxidation process happens quite quickly when coffee is hot, and much slower when it\u2019s cold. Some sources say refrigerated cold brew can last one to two weeks in an airtight container.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">But there are some big caveats here. If your cold brew contains grit or microparticles of coffee\u2014and it almost certainly does, unless you used a wool or paper filter\u2014those particles will continue to extract bitter flavors and change the flavor of your coffee. Which is to say, filtered cold brew will taste better longer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And if your palate is sensitive to the flabby cardboard flavor of oxidation, you may start to notice woody notes or a small deterioration of flavor as soon as a couple days after brewing. By a week, this decline may be quite pronounced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">When and whether you\u2019ll taste the difference depends on your preferences and individual setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Best Brewers<\/h2>\n<p>Best Overall Cold Brew Maker<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">If you want the sweet, smooth, full-bodied character of classic cold brew, it turns out nothing beats a full-immersion device like the Oxo Compact. The robust and lovely coffee we\u2019ve made with this device compared favorably to the best packaged cold brews\u2014but at a fraction of the cost per cup. The Oxo\u2019s brewing chamber is basically a bucket, with grounds steeped directly in the water and then filtered out. A device like this, so simple you can hardly call it a device, is almost certainly what your local cafe uses to make the cold brew you pay $5 or more a cup to receive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">So what gives the Oxo Compact the edge over similar devices, including the iconically classic Toddy? Ease, elegance, flexibility, a lack of mess, and a firm respect for shelf space. The Oxo\u2019s \u201crainmaker\u201d lid provides the water agitation needed to extract a full-flavored brew without additional stirring. Filtration is as easy as placing the immersion chamber atop Oxo\u2019s glass carafe, and waiting 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">You can adjust your desired strength to your heart\u2019s content. And the device\u2019s mesh filter can be augmented with an optional additional paper filter for a cleaner-tasting, fine-free cold brew that\u2019ll keep its flavor longer. All parts unscrew easily and can be cleaned with ease, and the device\u2019s design is low-key graceful, with a cork-topped and airtight carafe that a previous Wired reviewer has called \u201cadorable.\u201d When you want to stow the Oxo, the carafe fits inside the device\u2019s other half like a Russian nesting doll.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">One overnight steep makes about a pint of cold brew, meaning the Oxo Compact is best suited for making strong cold brew concentrate that you can dilute one-to-one with water or milk. We recommend 110 grams (about 4 ounces) of course-grind coffee, plus 600 milliliters (about 20 ounces) of water. Why? This uses up about one-third of a standard 12-ounce coffee bag, and yields four to five sturdy cups of cold brew after you dilute to drinking strength. If you need larger cold-brew batches for a big household or a serious caffeine habit, we\u2019ll steer you to the larger Oxo Good Grips or the Toddy.<\/p>\n<p>Best Hot-Bloom Cold Brew<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Japanese-style iced coffee, aka \u201cFlash Brew,\u201d took the internet by storm in the waning days of the pandemic. It sounds fancy and exotic, but the mechanics are simple: Use your preferred drip device (most very-online coffee geeks agree a pour-over is the only correct option) to slowly brew coffee directly over a pot or carafe filled with ice, thus cooling the coffee in a \u201cflash.\u201d The magic is in the ratio of water to grounds as well as the timing, which is simple in theory but a pain in the ass in practice. Yet again the Fellow Aiden (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/fellow-aiden-precision-coffee-maker\/\">8\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>) handles the annoying stuff for you, while doing things its own way. Aiden&#8217;s \u201cCold Brew\u201d function is not flash coffee, nor quite a cold brew. The Aiden uses a hot initial bloom of water to aid full extraction, but brews the rest of the way with a slow drip of cool water. The result is a faster, brighter cold-drip coffee without the bitter character of some iced coffee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Dial in your desired output in ounces, and the machine tells you how many grams of ground coffee you\u2019ll need. Pop in the correct brew basket, dial in the matching brew head, then spend the next hour or so doing literally anything else. In our tests, an output setting of 16 ounces required 35 grams of grounds and a 90-minute brew time.

The difference is the larger model can produce 24 to 28 ounces of full-flavored cold brew. The trade-off for the added capacity is that the stand will require significantly more dedicated shelf space, both in height and breadth. And for me at least, counter space is always at a premium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">After letting your coffee sit on the counter or in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours, flip a switch and your brew cleanly drains into the decanter. It also comes with a measuring lid. Perhaps most important, the coffee it makes tastes just as fantastic as the Compact.<\/p>\n<p>Best No-Fuss, Ready-to-Drink Pitcher<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I have a perhaps irrational affection for the Kinto Capsule, both for its pleasing heft and shape and an elegant omnidirectional pouring device that doubles as a lid. I\u2019ll be honest: I have little love for most pitcher-style devices. In theory, they\u2019re designed to remove the mess and fuss of making cold brew. In practice, most make weak and inconsistent coffee even after a full day of steeping. This is a sad situation usually caused by simple geometry. The ratio of coffee to water is generally inflexible and too dilute. The coffee grounds can clump inside the filter basket if they\u2019re packed too densely, and extraction is often unpredictable. It\u2019s a lot to think about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And yet over and over, I came back to this one-liter Kinto, which makes about five servings of satisfying, complex, ready-to-drink cold brew. The mesh filter is easy to clean and doesn\u2019t clog like the laser-cut metal filters on some similar devices. Its thin-cylindered shape provides lots of surface-area contact between the coffee basket and the water reservoir, making for both good extraction and a snug fit in a fridge door. Plus, that little cap atop the Capsule\u2019s coffee filter chamber, allowing you to agitate the carafe without getting grit in your cold brew? Chef\u2019s kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Best Petite Pitcher<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The simplicity of the Mizudashi&#8217;s design makes it an absolute joy to use. It\u2019s an elegant, understated device that works just as well for coffee as it does for tea. The reusable filter provides less filtration than a paper filter\u2014which isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing. The presence of microscopic coffee particles in a cup of cold brew will leave some sediment in the bottom of the cup, but they also provide a little more body to the brew itself. A silken mouthfeel that, in my opinion, helps the cold brew stand up to the addition of milk a bit better without getting watery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The thing I love the most about the Mizudashi is its size. The 600-milliliter version is perfect for the amount of cold brew I usually want to have on hand, and the shape and build quality of the Mizudashi just makes me want to make cold brew, and that&#8217;s an important quality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Hario is a Japanese company with a long record of making quality glassware, and it shows in the craftsmanship of this simple carafe. Japan has a long history with cold brew, <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/kokorocares.com\/blogs\/blog\/guide-to-mizudashi-the-art-of-japanese-cold-brew\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/kokorocares.com\/blogs\/blog\/guide-to-mizudashi-the-art-of-japanese-cold-brew&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/kokorocares.com\/blogs\/blog\/guide-to-mizudashi-the-art-of-japanese-cold-brew\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">by some accounts<\/a> going as far back as the 1600s. The Mizudashi is named after the cold-steeping method used for tea that was reportedly the inspiration for early Japanese coffee drinkers to first try cold-steeping coffee grounds. It&#8217;s an acknowledgment of the history of this preparation method, and it speaks to the care and thought that went into the design of this cold brew maker. \u2014<em>Jaina Grey<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Best Slow-Drip<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Bruer is the device that truly opened our reviewers\u2019 eyes to the magic of iced slow-drip brewing\u2014a process that can evince lighter and brighter flavors that better showcase single-origin beans than the gentler, more muted results of cold brew. And though it\u2019s called \u201cslow-drip,\u201d the process is quite a bit faster than traditional cold brew. Unlike some lesser slow-drip makers that have had mixed results for WIRED testers, the Cold Bruer Drip makes delightful, concentrated, virtually grit-free slow-drip coffee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Instead of asking you to pour a bunch of grounds into water and let it sit, the Bruer lets water drip through the grounds using gravity. It looks a little bananas at first, but it&#8217;s simple. You fill the bottom of a glass container with coarse coffee grounds. Below the grounds is a steel mesh filter. After you dampen those grounds, put a paper filter on top, snap in the silicone seal, and place the container into the glass carafe. Fill up the top section with water and ice, then twist the knob in the center to slow or speed up the drip\u2014you want a drop per second\u2014as needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">It&#8217;s not foolproof. You must follow the directions precisely, including using ice\u2014and if your coffee grind is too fine, water may form pathways through it, like an ant colony. If what&#8217;s dripping out doesn&#8217;t look dark, or it&#8217;s coming out quickly, adjust your tactics. It also holds only 20 ounces of water, and since it&#8217;s made of glass, it&#8217;s fragile. Some buyers have complained of drip-valve issues, but I have not encountered any yet. <em>\u2014Jeff Van Camp<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Best Instant Nitro Cold Brew<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Never in our memory has a cold-brew device arrived with as much hoopla and fanfare as the Cumulus. Why? It is the promise of a unicorn: a frothing cup of nitro cold brew, made near instantaneously at home by a whizzbangy machine conceived by former Starbucks innovation czar Mesh Gelman. Look closely, and you\u2019ll realize what the device actually does is make cold brew out of \u2026 cold brew. Cumulus brews it the old-fashioned way, in cold water, over the course of many hours, then vacuum distills the brew to condense it into a minuscule and proprietary coffee capsule that costs about $2.50 a pop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Insert that capsule into a Cumulus Machine, and it\u2019ll unpack that super-dense concentrate into a frigid 10-ounce glass of cold brew, or a fabulously frothy nitro version made by pressure-injecting air into the coffee. Another novelty? A bracing double-shot of cold espresso, complete with actual crema\u2014ready for a milk mixer or service in an espresso martini.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">We\u2019re still testing the many flavors, from light to dark to decaf to capsules specially designed for espresso. But early worries are that vacuum distillation might impart a somewhat processed character to the coffee\u2019s flavor\u2014a rubbery tang that not everyone will be sensitive to. My mother, on a visit, raved about the abundant froth in the nitro, and preferred the result to packaged nitro cold brew. So far, I&#8217;m less convinced. But the nitro bubbles are indeed abundant and impressive. And the cold espresso feels like more than a novelty: it\u2019s an actual treat. We don\u2019t expect the device will win over cold brew nerds or the craft coffee crowd. But on-demand nitro cold brew at home will be an extravagant luxury for those who like to mix cold brew with milk and sugar. If you\u2019d otherwise be shelling out $7 for the complicated cold concoctions at Gelman\u2019s alma mater, Starbucks, you might even make back the device\u2019s $700 entry fee.<\/p>\n<p>Best for Single-Serve<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Yes, you can make good cold brew in an Aeropress! All you have to do is pour some grounds in the Aeropress and top them off with cold water all the way up to the 4 on the cylinder. Give it a stir and place the plunger in the top, but don\u2019t press down. At this point I\u2019ve found I get my best results by putting the whole thing in the fridge overnight. Once it has steeped, put the fully loaded Aeropress on your cup of choice and press the plunger down about a third of the way. I like my cold brew small, over ice, with two to three parts milk. I find I can get three to four cold brews out of one steeping with this method, but I treat it like espresso and only use about one shot-glass-worth at a time for a full cup. If you like yours a bit stronger, you might only get about two big glasses of cold brew out of this method. <em>\u2014Jaina Grey<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A Timeless Classic<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Toddy has been around since the 1960s. It\u2019s similar to the Oxo brewing system, just a little more DIY. It\u2019s basically a big bucket with grounds in it and a glass carafe to hold the coffee when it&#8217;s done brewing. The brew bucket is made of plastic, and it requires paper liners and filter pads that you\u2019ll have to keep buying (filter pads last about 10 brews, or three months). You have to remove a rubber stopper to drain the coffee after 24 hours, which will always get your hands messy\u2014cleanup is time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Fortunately, it makes rich, full-bodied cold brew that tastes as robust as any other method I\u2019ve tried, sometimes better. Those pads and paper filters are annoying, but they work. If you\u2019re OK with a little inconvenience, the Toddy makes a damn good cold-brew concentrate. It&#8217;s similar to the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Filtron-Coffee-Concentrate-Brewer-Filter\/dp\/B00XBCDUSI\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/2rQwPprcmtWkDQzcq5ScmhpvFNNkddwZViNPQY2VGjrT7u1ngDJMDoboGXdFmPNDdQ5dj2K2SK4JifNdkoZPgE16fxtZNGAce1t4yqFnERXDJ6rRoRsV2vqdwFZQqiYZvgHT79bChTfANbqJ7mGdSubg7bbTu4oKLRBuqenpy5zg4DHa4SG6KMJNyZQYD3PEm?xid=fr1731246217293ehd&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/2rQwPprcmtWkDQzcq5ScmhpvFNNkddwZViNPQY2VGjrT7u1ngDJMDoboGXdFmPNDdQ5dj2K2SK4JifNdkoZPgE16fxtZNGAce1t4yqFnERXDJ6rRoRsV2vqdwFZQqiYZvgHT79bChTfANbqJ7mGdSubg7bbTu4oKLRBuqenpy5zg4DHa4SG6KMJNyZQYD3PEm?xid=fr1731246217293ehd\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Filtron Brewer<\/a>, but more well constructed.

To my dismay, I haven\u2019t been able to get any French press to produce cold-brewed coffee with flavor that\u2019s as smooth or rich as with other methods. It\u2019s usually a little bitter and too gritty. But it\u2019s still quite drinkable, and if you play around enough or find the right coffee grounds, you can probably make a batch that you like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">You might already own a French press for hot coffee; if you don\u2019t, I recommend the Secura. It\u2019s made of stainless steel and well insulated to keep cold brew cold or hot coffee hot, and the handle doesn\u2019t get too hot. \u2014<em>Jeff Van Camp<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Best Cold Brew Dispenser<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">KitchenAid doesn&#8217;t make the absolute best cold brew I&#8217;ve had, but more care went into its design than almost any other pot I&#8217;ve listed. It&#8217;s made of steel and thick glass, with a built-in handle and a spigot for dispensing cold brew\u2014perfect if you have a shelf to set it on, in or out of the fridge. (There&#8217;s <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/KitchenAid-KCM4212SX-Coffee-Maker-Brushed-Stainless\/dp\/B07G4W8S7K\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/32ZjHBEcANQ5x7mzLSHJxUJgTJvhgXHfHPZv4bh7yVDjyLtpRHirtz1mh9mvmeCdXZB7hUWXReCkNLSdkW2e6eNwz5oyTMjWD9cnYFztMEN9gMP2qiCrN4H2gzo4PLaRLJ7baKvnEDbvuEXDjyAzgg3np9z7ambajPKdYXDLAhH9Tgm1FeR7vfapYwzZHnZczpXPiV5GkJW3amTj&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/32ZjHBEcANQ5x7mzLSHJxUJgTJvhgXHfHPZv4bh7yVDjyLtpRHirtz1mh9mvmeCdXZB7hUWXReCkNLSdkW2e6eNwz5oyTMjWD9cnYFztMEN9gMP2qiCrN4H2gzo4PLaRLJ7baKvnEDbvuEXDjyAzgg3np9z7ambajPKdYXDLAhH9Tgm1FeR7vfapYwzZHnZczpXPiV5GkJW3amTj\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">an XL version<\/a> that holds 40-ish ounces of coffee and has a stand to sit on the countertop.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">It has a stainless steel grounds tray (with a handle!) that you set in the larger glass container. Dampen your grounds, then fill it with water. It says it holds 28 ounces, but I easily fit 32. Let it sit for at least 12 hours, as usual (24 if you fridge it), and you&#8217;re good to go. The steel filter is too porous and lets a lot of sediment through, but KitchenAid smartly has a textured bottom that lets the grit settle on the sides of the bottom. It doesn&#8217;t seem to come through the spigot, so after my first gritty glass, the coffee was a lot smoother and quite rich. I haven&#8217;t had any issues, but a few users have reported the spigot leaking. \u2014<em>Jeff Van Camp<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"paywall\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Coffee &amp; Accessories<\/h2>\n<p>Best Reusable Filter for Aeropress Cold Brew<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I like the Fellow Prismo for all my Aeropress use, and it\u2019s great for cold brew. It comes with a reusable filter and replaces the cap that goes on the end of your Aeropress with one that\u2019s a little thicker and has single hole. This config makes the coffee come out of the Aeropress under more pressure than with the standard Aeropress cap. That way you get a little aeration and, in my experience, a cleaner cup than from just metal filters in the traditional Aeropress cap. \u2014<em>Jaina Grey<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Great For Reducing Cold Brew Sediment<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">If you prefer cold brew with as little coffee silt as possible, the Shimmy can definitely help. It\u2019s a sieve you fill with coffee grounds, then shake to separate out more of the fine particles, or fines, from your coffee. During testing, I found it significantly reduced the silty dregs from the bottom of my cup, but a little bit remained, though not nearly enough to spoil that last sip the way too much sediment can. \u2014<em>Jaina Grey<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ready-to-Brew Coffee Pouches<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">These ready-to-brew pouches from Partners are like big tea bags full of coffee. They\u2019re great for turning any pitcher or big jar into a cold brew maker. Given their size, I found I got the best coffee after at least 24 hours of steeping, and it was fully flavored, rich, silky, and sweet with just a hint of acidity. \u2014<em>Jaina Grey<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Best Cold-Brew Beans<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The perfect cold-brew coffee beans are in the eye of the beholder, but there are a few schools of thought. Most cold brew blends tend to reinforce the brew\u2019s smoothness and drinkability, of course. But those who mix with milk might favor roasty and chocolatey dark beans that loudly scream \u201ccoffee\u201d amid the dairy. For those whose hot-side tastes veer closer to pour-over, try cold brewing or slow-dripping a medium roast, fruit-intensive African.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">After multiple blind taste tests over the years, I always come back to Portland\u2019s Stumptown Coffee for sweet and balanced cold-brew flavors.
