TAKEYA Patented Deluxe Cold Brew Coffee Maker: This is one of the most popular devices on Amazon, but its design resulted in under extracted coffee and it was a pain to clean.The differences in flavor were so minute and weren’t worth how finicky it was to source and find parts. Filtron Cold Water Coffee Concentrate Brewing System: If I had to rank all the brewers in terms of taste, the Filtron would have won-but just barely.Overall, it did a fine job, but we recommend just getting the Coffee Gator French Press Coffee Maker, which operates the same way, but is also insulated, making it a good match for hot coffee, too.

To fully separate the grounds from the cold brew, the coffee needed to be poured into another pitcher, requiring you to have a separate container on hand.

Bodum Bean Cold Brew Coffee Maker: This device worked exactly like a French press, meaning when the brewing is finished, the grounds get pushed to the bottom of the chamber.The silicone top was flimsy and didn’t form a perfect seal. It appears they use the same type of material for their filters and a similar brewing process. Hario Cold Brew Coffee Wine Bottle: The Hario bottle’s tasting results were almost exactly the same as the Hario Mizudashi.If you use the Mizudashi, just brew at room temperature.

The finished cold brew after six hours was pretty weak, lacking flavor and body. The lid also didn’t create a perfect seal, so it couldn’t be stored on its side. However, the cold brew maker was too tall to easily fit in a standard-size fridge.
