1. Ten ounces of coarse grounds brews a full 32 ounce carafe of concentrate, enough for roughly 14 diluted servings.
2. A rainmaker top spreads water evenly over the grounds during the 12 to 24 hour steep, for more even extraction than a simple pour.
3. The brew-release switch starts and stops filtration on demand and shuts off automatically once the carafe is lifted away, so it will not keep dripping.
4. A reusable, ultra-fine stainless steel mesh filter replaces paper filters entirely, though a paper filter can be added underneath for a second pass.
5. The borosilicate glass carafe carries its own measurement markings and is dishwasher safe; every other part comes apart for hand washing and nests for storage.
6. Backed by a lifetime satisfaction guarantee, and the same rig works just as well for cold-brewing loose-leaf tea.

How we score

We score each thing that comes up most in owner feedback on the OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee. Eight things come up most in owner feedback: five draw praise, one splits opinion and two draw mostly complaints. Its ratings average 4.5 stars (75% five stars, 13% four, 5% three and 7% one or two), so every score starts at 90, that average on a 100 point scale. Where opinion is split, we take off 6. Where it draws mostly complaints, we take off 12. Then we read eight owner reviews in full (every one we found gave it four or five stars) and move the score up to 5 points either way depending on how the owners who mention it rated the product. Our overall score starts from the same 4.5 star average and loses 0.1 for each thing that draws mostly complaints, with 0.1 more when at least a tenth of ratings are one star, never more than 0.3 in all. Here that takes off 0.2, which gives 4.3. Read our editorial standards

Ease of use and the cold brew itself draw the strongest and most consistent praise, closely followed by how easy the carafe and filter are to clean and how the concentrate tastes. Value for money runs more mixed: many call it worth the cost against buying concentrate elsewhere, while others weigh it against cheaper jar-and-sieve setups and land less convinced. Leakage at the seal and the glass carafe's durability are the two genuine drawbacks, both concentrated among a real minority rather than showing up across the board.

1. Wash before the first batch

   Rinse the carafe, filter, reservoir and switch assembly before brewing for the first time, then check that the release switch seats firmly but is not overtightened against its O-ring.

2. Grind coarse and fill the reservoir

   Use a coarse grind, similar to a French press grind. Roughly 10 ounces of grounds fills the reservoir for a full 32 ounce batch.

3. Add water through the rainmaker top

   Fill with cold, filtered water and replace the rainmaker lid so it distributes water evenly over the grounds rather than letting it pool on one side.

4. Steep for 12 to 24 hours

   Leave the assembly on the counter, brew-release switch closed, for 12 to 24 hours. A longer steep in that range gives a stronger, more concentrated brew.

5. Flip the switch and collect the concentrate

   Set the carafe underneath, open the brew-release switch, and let the concentrate drain through the mesh filter. Lifting the carafe away stops the flow automatically.
