Good Grips 32 Ounce Cold Brew Coffee Maker

I have several OXO products and they are typically well-made, effective at what they are designed to do and very easy to use. Have to admit that at this point, if I need a kitchen gadget, I'll almost always default to the OXO product, if I have an option. I've been making cold brew for a couple of years now, using a 64 ounce mason jar and that method works well, though it has some issues. I'd been eyeing this cold brew coffee maker for a while and when I saw it on sale, I went for it. After only one time using it, I can already say it's worth the purchase. Very easy to set up and use. Very well-designed, as is typical with OXO products. Very easy to clean, which was always a pain with the mason jar and its relatively narrow mouth. And the coffee tastes great! The best part is eliminating the filtering process that usually took a good 15 minutes or so with my old method. With this maker, I just flip the switch, go away and turn on my computer and in 10 minutes I come back to a carafe full of tasty coffee. No more struggling with the dumping of the liquid through the filter, while trying to avoid splattering huge chunks of wet grounds all over the kitchen counter. I'd noticed that my acid reflux was definitely not as active and pronounced when I drank cold brew coffee rather than hot coffee and I'm pretty much sold on moving forward with cold brew from this point on. Very happy I finally made the purchase and, as noted before, very happy to have stuck with another solid OXO product.

Husband loves cold brew and bought this for him as a Christmas present. It's easy to use and he loves it. I like the pot, reminds me a a chemistry lab beaker. Doesn't take up too much counter space.

OXO has an excellent reputation, and this product is simply excellent. I love cold brew coffee and was using the Hario pot but it did not make a true cold brew concentrate. I recently purchased the oxo product. Below are key points: 1. The product design is excellent. The coffee maker can be assembled into a storage mode cleverly to reduce counter/cabinet space when not in use. I love the carafe - it has the measuring cup for the coffee on the top. Unlike other reviewers, I have not had issues with the carafe breaking. The product was designed well - so easy to use. 2. Grinding: I used a Rancilio Rocky burr grinder at the highest setting, and the grounds have to look like bread crumbs (e.g. french press). I have never not used a burr grinder so I do not know about using grocery store, coffee shop, or other grinders. I did note that other reviews had issues getting the grounds to be coarse. 3. Filter: Oxo includes an special filter that can be washed in addition to some filter papers. I would highly recommend using the paper filters too with the product for best results. 4. Coffee: Wow - this is some great coffee. I had no issues making it with the instructions and everything came as advertised. I usually drink 2 oz of the coffee cold with 4 oz of chilled milk. You can also make tea and something other coffee recipes. Have not gotten there yet but I'm excited about the possibilities here. 5. Other considerations: - Only the carafe/beaker/whatever you want to call is dishwasher safe. - Would advise on letting the coffee dwell for 24 hours. It took my batch about 30-45 minutes to drain. I do think that the instructions are unrealistic (they say wait 20 minutes). You can get 2 oz, stop the flow to get your morning coffee, and then keep draining. 6. Competitors: I explored Toddy and Flatiron. What really convinced me to get this product was that Seattle Coffee Gear unanimously agreed in a blind taste that this was a clear winner (those people are very hard to please so it is rare to have unanimous vote!). I also did not like other aspects of those other machines - that being said, I'm sure that they make great coffee. It's just that Oxo designed this machine so well. Bottom line: I am thrilled with this machine. It is intuitive and makes exceptional cold brew. The main hiccup that I could envision for others is having the wrong grinding technique. Lastly, have patience to let all that precious coffee drain!

My wife bought this as we both love cold brew coffee. Up until this i didn't know what was involved with making cold brew, and quite honestly i was disappointed how simple it was. Not that i was disappointed in the product, but the fact that i bought a device to do something that was so simple. Regardless, i use the OXO Cold brewer every week and love the end result! The product is very intuitive to use and designed nicely for storage when not in use. It's footprint is rather small, but the unit is pretty tall but still fits on our counter under the cabinets (you will need to pull out from under a cabinet to fill though). I use a 4 parts water to 1 part coffee grounds when setting up the brewer. I've found that with that ratio, a 12oz bag of ground beans is about as large of a batch you can make. I usually let it sit for a full day before i give it a good stir to mix up the grounds that have "bloomed" to the top. Then i let it sit for another day...so plan ahead on it taking 2 days to make a full batch. Also be aware that it takes awhile to drain...at least a couple hours. Not sure they could have done much in terms of the product to improve drainage, i think it's more of a process thing. When i make my coffee, i've found for me that 1 part coffee to 2 parts water is just the right amount, 3 parts water was to weak for my liking. The only complaint i've got for the product itself is the filter portion. So the unit comes with a reusable mesh screen and the optional disposable coffee filter disc to use in combination with the screen. If you don't use the filter piece, you will get a small amount of grounds that pass through regardless of how coarse your beans were ground. However, if you use the small disposable disc filters i've found that it'll clog up before completely draining the liquid. So usually half way through draining i have to empty the content into a big bowl, change out the filter, put it all back together and wait for it to drain again. Kind of a pain and takes up more time. I have found that i can simply use standard coffee filters instead of the disc. Just set the reusable screen in, lay a standard filter over it and then screw the base on and tear the excess filter off after you've screwed it on tightly. Now you don't need to track down special filters! All in all, great product...just wish the process was faster. Plus i think it looks cool on the counter....all science'y :)

Que barbaridad! Cafe más delicioso 😋 Para esta época del año (abril-may) cae perfecto como digestivo un café frío, necesita su ciencia y obligado café fresco, molino y de preferencia una báscula digital, 10 estrellas!

I have been using this to make cold brew coffee year round for over a year now. It still looks brand new and produces excellent coffee with almost no work. I bought this after reading the wirecutter review that called it the best cold brew coffee maker and I can confirm after owning a couple that this one is the easiest to use and makes the best coffee.

元々、水出しのダッチコーヒー好きの私ですが、時短のためKeyコーヒーの水出しパックで我慢していました。 しかし、少し時間の余裕も出てきて、いろんなレビューを参考にこちらに決めて購入。大きさに少しめげましたが スロージューサーを娘にあげて場所を確保。とにかく使いやすくて、美味しい香りのよいコーヒーが楽しめるようになって本当に幸せです。

Just poured my first batch! Wow is the first word that comes to mind Personally let it steep at room temperature for 16 hours and found it to be the perfect balance of strength and smoothness A ratio of 10oz coffee grounds to 5 cups of water lended me 3 cups of concentrate Pros: Great tasting, strong coffee, nice look, easy to use, and easy to clean Cons: Uses a looooot of coffee grounds

What started off as a ‘what the heck can I buy her?’ gift has been transformational! No more daily filter machine cleaning. This coffee cold filter is really straight forward, and I really believe the coffee tasted mellower. The jug has a sealed lid, pop it in the fridge and use it like espresso. Hey presto! Lovely coffee every morning (I get two people Monday to Friday out of one normal sized coffee bag) Bit icky to clean, but it’s only once a week. It’s as sturdy as ever and I’ve used it for a full year. Also you can make iced coffee with the coffee concentrate, just add ice and milk! Bit bulky to store, but I keep it on the counter. No electricity, no need to buy filters and I use tap water without any problems. I’ve given away my filter machine and I’m not going back.
