Customer Reviews for OXO Good Grips 4-Cup Gray Cold Brew Drip Coffee Maker with Filter

I absolutely love this thing! Switched from a dash cold brew coffee maker and I’m so happy I did! I brew for about 24 hours and then add a bit of water to the concentrate before drinking it. Best cold brew ever!

This is a great way to make cold brew coffee at home. We bought one months ago after I did research cold brew makers and have been very happy with this brand. We bought this one as a gift for friends who enjoy the coffee when they visit. The storage container that comes with it holds 32oz of coffee for like 2 weeks in the fridge. However, we go through that in like 2 days. To make the hot coffee just add a bit of water then microwave it and enjoy it hot...It can also be used for tea.

I'm loving this cold brew coffee maker. Its a very simple and efficient design. You put the grounds in the top, then pour the water through a "rainmaker" that disperses it evenly over the grounds. It brews the coffee by immersion over time. Then you place the carafe underneath, flip the lever, and it dispenses the coffee. It comes with a lid that seals the carafe and also serves as a measuring cup. This is my first cold brew maker, so the process was new to me. Some important things I learned: 1. It takes a lot of grounds to produce a relatively small amount. 2. Because you don't use heat, the brewing takes a long time - 12-24 hours depending on the type and amount of grounds. 3. What's produced is not coffee - its a coffee concentrate. They recommend diluting it in a 1:4 ratio (coffee : milk/water). I found that I prefer a 1:1 dilution with milk for a very espresso-like pick-me-up in the morning. 4. Its VERY smooth tasting. Because it doesn't use heat and brews it more slowly, it doesn't have the bitterness that a lot of coffee does. I'm very happy with its simple design and the smooth tasting coffee it produces. I definitely recommend it.

This OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker is so easy to use and makes DELICIOUS cold brew coffee and tea too! As always, the OXO brand makes a fantastic quality item that is so user friendly. Everything you need comes in the box, including paper filters that are optional. I chose to use one. I can't believe how fast and simple the whole brewing procedure is and what an amazing end result. BETTER than any coffee shop could give you. This unit looks very attractive on your counter; very pretty. You can use the concentrate for cold or hot. Everything fits together easily and this also makes cleaning very easy. The whole process is really quick. I weighed my coffee grounds, put them in the container, added water and let sit for 24 hours. Simply place the beaker underneath, push the lever and let it drain.The stopper/cover for the beaker is also used to measure out your concentrate. Really delicious and rich tasting concentrate. I have served it to 6 people including myself and we all LOVE IT!! This OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker is not only a wonderful thing for yourself but makes a great gift for the coffee lovers in your life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Easy to set up and use. Makes great coffee. I did have to look at the video online to make sure I was doing it correctly. But it's really simple. Great purchase!

I have yet to use it, but I really like the idea of it! Also, had difficulties and the support staff was more than helpful.

I ike cold brew coffee and having been using a big pitcher, my large measuring cup and my strainer with two filters inside. While they got the job done, that is the straining out the grounds from the coffee, it took nearly all day. Oxo's brewer is straightforward, easy to clean and store, and allows you to get the brewed coffee mixture straightaway, saving lots of time.

I've been making cold brew coffee for a year or two now. I got this for myself more or less as a treat. A nice kitchen gadget. It has turned out to be my favorite kitchen item. It has made cold brew so easy and so consistent. I really can't recommend it enough.

Been using these cold brew makers for years and would think of using anything else. All of OXO products are great, but this is the one I can not do without.

We’re enjoying the coffee. The coffee maker works well. Really like the glass beaker. I would like to have a closed cover to replace the rain maker while the coffee is brewing for 24 hours. This would keep any dust out.

I love this coffee maker the only I issue I have had is the stainless filter has gotten lost and I had to purchase a whole new maker because it is not sold separately

Love this device. And terrific customer service from OXO.

The release valve is hard to operate. Setting and resetting it gets stuck and feels like it could break easily. Having used other cold brew makers the paper filter is a great addition for eliminating the fine sludge at the bottom of the container

This cold brew coffee maker is perfect. It makes a large batch of concentrate so I have coffee available for a week plus so no need to brew daily.

Makes delicious super caffeinated cold brew, I had no idea it could be so easy. One batch lasted me a week, worked better the 2nd time with these beans that were marketed as cold brew blend. I was spending double/triple that on cans, that were lattes- the milk was upsetting my stomach. Main problem now is I'm getting used to this extra boost of caffeine so I'll have to try mixing with more almond or oat milk!

This item is ok. Be sure to put the decanter under while brewing because the valve leaks. Oxo sen me another and it leaks as well.

I originally bought the small cold brew maker and was very pleased with the coffee it produced. But I found that it just didn't make enough cold brew for my household. That's when I bought the large one and have been very pleased with it's performance.

I have tried many cold brew setups. Only the oxo provides easy, consistent results. The large capacity is a plus. I freeze some of the concentrate in 12 oz. bottles.

Makes good cold brew. This was a bridal shower registry gift. I'm glad I picked it.

I have had many cold brew coffeemakers and was not thrilled with any of them. Love this one for the ease of use. Yes it's large and takes up some real estate when not in use, but I still love it!

The setup is nice and very workable--and large Mason jars also fit under the unit. The small filter is great, resulting in cold brew that doesn't have sediment in it. One small quibble: the button/lever you press to drain or stop draining the unit is plastic, and I'm concerned that it will fail sooner rather than later. It doesn't go up/down smoothly--it's more of a (plastic) CLANK. Otherwise, though, I'm very pleased with this purchase. I've been using the grounds twice, with good results (I mix the two "batches" to even out the strength), and this unit makes that easy to do.

We basically do cold brew year around at this point and this makes it so easy to make a super smooth concentrated brew that will get us through 3-4 days by using 4 oz of concentrate and 16-20 oz of water depending on your preference.

So easy to use and clean. I save so much money using this cold brew coffee maker vs the store-bought stuff, and the quality is superior. I recommend buying this item and enjoy the fresh tasting cold brews that you can make at home.

I am very pleased with the ease of use and the coffee tastes great, very smooth. The design of the maker is fantastic including being able to use the lid as a measuring cup for the concentrate Very satisfied!

This product works well and makes great cold brew coffee concentrate. My only complaint is that the neck of the carafe is a little too wide for me to hold securely. I have an average size hand, but arthritis makes it difficult to squeeze things. I've dropped one in the past and am concerned about losing my grip again. So, I always get my other hand underneath the carafe as soon as I pick it up.

A real pain to use. The valve controlling the drainage of brewed coffee into carafe is difficult to operate without snapping it off. The coffee it brews is quite bad. Mine is put away into a closet for disposal at my next garage sale.

My husband bought this for me because of my obsession with iced coffee. I use French vanilla flavored coffee grounds and it's wonderful. I use 1 1/2 cups of coffee to 5 cups of water and let it steep overnight. I don't dilute it when I make my iced coffee drinks since I don't use so many grounds. It has the perfect strength for my liking. My daughter has also become an iced coffee drinker and just loves "the way mom makes it".

I've had this for several years and love it! Easy to use and store. A batch of cold brew concentrate makes over a week of hot coffee for me. I'm spoiled by the smooth taste. Highly recommended!

This coffee maker made excellent cold brew coffee. There are two issues with the quality of the device. The first is that the locking mechanism started to leak after approximately 8 months of regular use. The second is that the top park that holds the coffee is made out of plastic rather than glass. Improving these two parts would greatly improve the coffee maker.

So we’ve tried a fair amount of cold brew makers/ steepers online and nothing has been able to hold up to this maker!! It’s so easy and simple to use and the cold brew has always come out great! Is doesn’t need single use filters like other cold brew makers and has measurements on the jug and everything!! Definitely recommend if you’re a big fan of cold brew
