Quick Take
OXO’s cold brew maker removes every annoying part of homemade cold brew. The Rainmaker lid showers water evenly over the grounds, you steep 12 to 24 hours, then flip the switch to filter concentrate straight into the glass carafe. No cheesecloth, no gritty sludge, no mess.

The Details
Full Review
Quality
The borosilicate glass carafe feels substantial and the brewing stand is sturdy. The ultra fine mesh filter rinses clean and the brew release switch has a satisfying positive action. Everything nests together for storage.
Value
At $59.99 it pays for itself in a few weeks if you buy cold brew out. The concentrate stretches into many servings, and the reusable filter means no ongoing costs. It is one of the best value coffee gadgets you can buy.
You’ll Love It If
Daily cold brew drinkers and iced coffee households.
Skip It If
Hot coffee only drinkers and anyone with zero counter space.
FINAL VERDICT
This is the cold brew maker to beat. Simple, clean, and it makes genuinely great coffee concentrate with almost zero effort.
