The Best Home Cold Brew Maker is on Sale for Amazon Prime Day

Get a steal on the our favorite way to make cold brew coffee (and save some cash in the process).

I love cold brew coffee, but I hate paying for it. Each time I’ve dropped $5 on a “medium” cup at my local third wave shop, a little part of me—specifically, the part that remembers going to the store with my dad to buy Tetley black tea bags in bulk—dies.

For a while, I thought there was no alternative. Every DIY method I’ve attempted to use has some fatal flaw. Cold brew from a french press has a horrible grainy texture. Straining cold brew out of a large mason jar covered with cheese cloth requires holding the mason jar upside down over a carafe for an annoyingly long time. Making cold brew with a reusable nut milk bag leaves you with a gross nut milk bag. So I resigned myself to the fact that I would spend at least $50 on cold brew drinks each two week pay period.

That’s when I was introduced to the OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker.

Using this brewer specifically designed to make cold brew is a vast improvement over any manual method I’ve tried—just put ground coffee (10 ounces) and water (40 ounces) into the top section, then wait. Unlike all the DIY methods, there’s no work to do: after the 12-to-24-hour brew, you flip a switch to send the coffee down through a fine mesh filter. What you get is about 12 servings of full-bodied, delicious cold brew concentrate that you can dilute with water, milk, or whatever milk substitute you prefer.

At full price, assuming you pay about $15 for a 12 oz. bag of upscale coffee (like this classic from Counter Culture), the OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker almost pays for itself with one brew. It’s an even better deal today, thanks to an Amazon Prime Day sale that surpasses the brewer’s lowest historic price. Spend the money you save on cold brew over the next two month's on a Labor Day long weekend getaway.
