A countertop steeping system that makes a smooth concentrate with no heat and no machine noise, then drains into a marked glass carafe. It takes most of a day to brew, so it is for planners, not for coffee on demand.

Overview
OXO builds this cold brew maker as a two-part tower: a brewing container with a rainmaker top that showers water evenly over the grounds, and a glass carafe below. After the steep, a brew-release switch opens the filter and the concentrate drains down; lifting the carafe away stops the flow on its own.
Low-acid concentrate made without heat is the reason to put this on a counter, and the steel mesh filter means no paper to run out of. Steeping takes a long time, so a batch has to be started the day before it is wanted, and the finished concentrate still needs diluting before drinking.
Who it's for
Summer mornings when the kitchen stays cold and a week of iced drinks comes from one jar of concentrate are the use case, and the same tower brews tea. Cooks who need single cups on demand, or who want a hot brewer that also does cold, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Rainmaker top wets grounds evenly
- One-touch brew-release switch
- Auto-stops draining when carafe is removed
- Reusable steel mesh filter
- Steep runs overnight or longer
- Concentrate needs diluting before drinking
- Only the carafe goes in the dishwasher
- Brewing container is plastic
Performance notes
Extraction happens over many hours in cold water, so grind coarseness and steep length set the strength, not any heating element. The rainmaker top matters because grounds that are wetted evenly extract evenly, and the mesh filter does the main separation while an optional paper filter can remove finer sediment. Dilution ratio then decides the cup, since what comes out of the carafe is concentrate.

Frequently asked questions
How do you clean the OXO Good Grips cold brew coffee maker?
The whole unit comes apart for hand washing, and the glass carafe is dishwasher safe. The stainless steel mesh filter is reusable, so it is rinsed rather than replaced.
Does the OXO cold brew coffee maker need paper filters?
No. The reusable stainless steel mesh filter does the filtering on its own. Paper filters can be added for a second level of filtration if a cleaner cup is wanted.
Is the OXO cold brew maker an iced coffee machine that chills coffee?
No. It steeps coarse grounds in cold water over many hours and drains a concentrate. There is no heater, no ice and no refrigeration; the concentrate is diluted with water or milk before drinking.
Can the OXO cold brew coffee maker make tea?
Yes, the listing recommends it for both cold brew and tea brewing using the same container and filter.
What stops the OXO cold brew maker from overflowing?
Filtering stops automatically when the carafe is removed from under the brewing container, and the brew-release switch controls when draining starts.
