This Portable, All-In-One Gadget Takes the Hassle Out of Making Cold Brew at Home

If you’re a fan of cold brew, you’re not alone. Beloved for its flavor — which is notably less acidic than its hot-brewed counterparts — as well as its higher caffeine count, cold brew has steadily become many people’s preferred way of consuming coffee, no matter the time of year. In fact, in 2022 alone there was a 27 percent rise in the total number of cold brew coffee orders at cafes across the country! With this being said, it should come as no surprise to hear that the drink has also become a staple in many people’s homes. While the standard overnight process of making cold brew in the fridge is convenient enough, what if we told you there was a way to make your cold brew on the go? Well, dear reader, we recently came across a gadget that promises to do just that. Say hello to the Cold Brew Coffee Maker & Carafe.

Designed to simplify your cold brew routine, the Cold Brew Coffee Maker & Carafe serves as both a cold brew maker and portable carafe for easy on-the-go enjoyment. The idea is simple: Add coarse grounds and a slow, circular pour of cold, filtered water to the top brewing chamber and let it steep for 12 to 18 hours at room temperature. Then, just press the button and let gravity fill the insulated steel carafe with your perfect brew. Once it’s set, all that’s left to do is add ice, your favorite milk and sweetener, and the leak-proof lid. Best of all, the insulated steel carafe keeps coffee cold for up to 24 hours — a dream!

4.8/5 Stars

“I love the sleek design and love the smooth-tasting coffee even more!” — Stacey

“This was one of the best gifts I ever received. I have been looking for a cold brewer that was truly a cold brew (instead of a hot brew over ice) and this one exceeded expectations. It is so easy to use, portable, and convenient.” — Bex

“It’s easy to set up and comes apart nicely to clean. Makes a few servings in one go and can be quickly reset for additional brewing for the large-capacity tumbler. The metal filter is very nice, it does not soak up all the oils from the brew so you get really fantastic flavor. Perfect present for the coffee aficionado.” — Adri

This smart carafe comes in at $50 making it a bit of an investment piece, but one well worth the spend if you’re a true cold brew devotee. So whether you’re looking for a unique gift for the coffee lover in your life or simply a way to make your morning run smoother, we think this pick is on its way to becoming a big part of many people’s coffee routines.
