OXO Brew Compact Cold Brew Coffee Maker

Great way to get into cold brew coffee, very simple to use and easy to clean and store. OXO does it again with a smart, simple design.

I love this thing! Bought it for my husband for his birthday, but really it’s a gift for me. Easy to use, easy to brews, great to drink, clean up is quick. We go through about one carafe every two days. Maybe we can finally buy that house (jk, we already have a condo)

Perfect size cold brew maker for apartment living. Doesn't take up much counter space when brewing or when stored in refrigerator. Could not be simpler to use or to clean. Cold brew coffee is stronger than hot brewed and less bitter. Highly recommended.

I really like this little brewer with the exception of leakage. Normally, it is around the large ring. I just keep twisting a little tighter each time I get a leak. Today it appears to be coming around the spring loaded dispenser. After the very first leak-tastrophe, I always set it in a soup plate while brewing to minimize any cleanup. I’ve only had it 4 months and use it 2-3 times a week at most. The taste and time to brew are great! I just wish it was better quality. Update: I hoped to increase stars because OXO customer service was helpful. They were not. In fact, they never responded to my warranty claim. I will not be purchasing any OXO products in the future. Update(2.0): While OXO did not respond in writing to, they did one better and sent a replacement product. Thanks OXO! Would be better not to leak at all, but the replacement is appreciated.

So simple to use and easy to clean! ✅ Small footprint in my small kitchen. ✅ Perfect for a few servings, small batch is freshest for just 2 people ✅ Using coarsely ground beans there is NO sediment ✅ (results may vary if you use standard medium ground or fine ground) The rainmaker is cool, but make sure you dunk a spoon down into the bean and water mixture a few times to make sure all beans are saturated, not dry. Mixing is messy though so I recommend dunking straight down a few times all around the circle. Overall great product and I'm very satisfied. The only thing that would make it better is less plastic, but at this price point and level of functionality, I can't complain.

I’ve had this little cold brew maker for four years and love it. It’s so easy. Put coarsely ground coffee (I like the Bizzy brand here on Amazon) into the brewer up to the little coffee bean picture, put the “raindrop” top on, pour 24 ounces of water around the raindrop lid so it soaks the coffee evenly, then let it sit on the counter or in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours. (I leave mine on the counter for 24 hours.). Put the brewer on top of the glass carafe and let the coffee drain into the carafe, which takes only a few minutes. Then lift the brewer off the carafe, dump the grounds into the trash (or the garden), give the inside of the brewer a quick wipe with a dishcloth, paper towel, or your hand to get the last few grounds out, then hand wash. The bottom, which holds the filter, screws off, but I don’t clean the filter every time. Easy! Store the carafe in the refrigerator. When you want iced coffee, remember that this is coffee concentrate, so you need to dilute it with water before drinking unless you’re really hardcore. Oxo suggests 2 to 3 parts water to 1 part coffee concentrate, but you do you. Now about those extra carafes, which are not available and probably never will be — the system is made so that the coffee drains out of the brewer only when the brewer sits on top of the carafe. The carafe is glass, which is nice, but if you break it the whole brewing system is useless. (Maybe you could find some other container with the right circumference to fit under the brewer, but nothing comes to mind.). I would actually like another carafe so I could brew a batch of decaf in addition to my usual high test. I can scrounge up some other container, transfer the coffee concentrate into it, then use the carafe for my next batch, but did I mention I’m lazy? The other part that should have replacements available is the metal filter that sits at the bottom of the brewer. It seems durable, but it’s small and easy to lose. Mine slipped out of the bottom of my dish drainer and disappeared. I found it, after a while, but if I hadn’t I’d be shopping for another cold brew maker and might be annoyed enough to chose one that didn’t come with crucial parts that were subject to loss or breakage. (That’s a subtle threat to Oxo, not that they’ll ever see it, but chances are I would buy another Oxo. I’d just grumble about it really loudly.). Off to start my batch of decaf!

I have been using this for over a year and cannot imagine going back to any other way of brewing. It is simple, inexpensive, compact, and produces fabulous coffee. The coffee is so great that I take a flask of it with me when I go to restaurants for breakfast. I then order hot water for tea and pour my concentrate in with milk and stevia. I cannot go back to any other brewed coffee as that is bitter and acrid and acidic. This produces clean bright coffee that allows you to enjoy instead of puckering your lips. Using this device is simple and I would watch any of the videos to learn how easy it is to brew. I find for me the metal filter is great and I do not use the paper filters. The idea is to get out the particles that invade other coffee brewers and cause the acid taste. I think that it uses a lot of grinds and felt this could be cost prohibiting, but then I am not an aficionado and went with my regular grocery store generic brand (I use Maxwel House) and the result is great. I am sure that using beter coffee or grinding my own, or getting coarse grind coffee would produce an even greater coffee but for me and my daily 2-4 cups this is fabulous. I did see that there is a newer version that is larger and more expensive, but it has more features that would be nice (like a handle, a top that give you some idea of how much coffee to pour per cup, a marked carafe that shows how much water you should add, etc. I am toying with getting another carafe as it would be nice to brew before the carafe is empty as I let mine brew for a minimum of 24 hours and sometimes more than 48 hours. However just knowing how much water to add will do the same as the brewer only needs the carafe to empty. I am playing with that now and just use a measuring cup and it produces the same great tasting product, not weaker. I recommend playing around with the amount of water you use to brew. One last thing, If you are in a restaurant or coffee shop and you see a guy with a flask pouring something into his coffee cup please do not think it is some alcoholic. It is just me enjoying the delicious fruits of this coffee maker!

I love how easy to use this is and it makes fantastic cold brew coffee. However, after the first couple of times using it, the unit leaks around where the bottom screws onto the top part whether the white lines are lined up or not. It is really frustrating to have to continuously empty the bowl it is sat in back into the unit. Still works, but I wish it did not leak. UPDATED 7/17/2020: I figured out that the red band which was around the top of the part that screws into the base closest to the reservoir needs to be at the bottom of the screw in part farthest from the reservoir. It fits in the top notch perfectly and is hard to get out of there, so it just looks like it belongs there. Ever since I moved it down, it no longer leaks AT ALL. It is easy for the red band to move during cleaning so be careful not to or move it back down. I absolutely love this product now. I reuse the grounds 3 or 4 times (be careful to add a little less water after the first time as the grounds won't absorb as much which can lead to the glass bottle overflowing when emptying the reservoir). Easy to clean, easy to store, and very easy to use. I love having my iced cold brew every morning at home, especially during the pandemic where I work from home.

I chose this brewer after looking at quite a few different ones. It's great, really easy to use, clean and store when not in use. It makes really good cold brew and needs a coarse / very coarse grind of beans. I really like the glass carafe and having the concentrate available in the fridge makes coffee easy whether drinking it hot or cold.

I’ve tried a few different methods and products for making cold brew and this is product from OXO is the best by far! Super consistent taste and easy to make. Highly recommend!

This is an absolute scam, do not buy it, especially if you've not in the US, because when it inevitably breaks, no one will help you. As soon as I received this, i cleaned everything, and the carafe immediately broke, rending the whole thing absolutely useless. I've been unable to find something to replace the glass carafe (it needs to be a very specific diameter, and despite me trying with everything I could think of, it either takes forever or you end up leaking it everywhere if you try to manually help it along). I contacted the French subsidiary of Oxo, who refuses to help me, because they don't carry this item, and the importer who sold it also won't help me, because it didn't arrive broken, so it's not their problem. So I paid over 100eur for something that sells for 1/3 that price in the US, and I couldn't even use it one single time the way it's supposed to use. I may as well just toss this in the trash and try something else. Extremely disappointed.

I used this product twice, and the coffee it made was indeed very good. On my third use, i left it on my dining room table (as per usual). When I returned a few hours later, I found that it had leaked everywhere, including onto the floor. Now my rug has coffee stains and I dont know if it will come out. I then cleaned it and moved it to the fridge overnight and it leaked again. The bottom was properly screwed on, and the O-rings were installed correctly too.
