Among these cold brew coffee makers, the OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker is my best overall pick for its dedicated brewing setup and manageable 32-ounce batch size. The County Line Kitchen 64-ounce pitcher suits buyers who want a larger glass jar with a leak-resistant lid, while the Takeya Deluxe 2-quart model offers a shatter-resistant option for busy kitchens. The main tradeoffs are batch capacity, glass versus plastic construction, and how much room a brewer takes up in the fridge. Some models prioritize easy pouring, while others focus on larger batches or a more contained brew process. Read on for the full comparison and help choosing the right fit for your routine.

Key Takeaways
- OXO’s 32-ounce brewer stands apart from the many 64-ounce pitchers with a dedicated cold brew setup that takes less fridge space.
- County Line Kitchen’s glass pitcher pairs large capacity with a leak-resistant lid, while its Gray and Black versions appear to differ mainly by color.
- Takeya’s Tritan models trade glass for shatter resistance; the 1-quart version suits smaller batches, and the 2-quart version serves higher-volume households.
- The one-gallon brewer with a spigot targets batch volume and serving convenience, but its size calls for more fridge and counter space.
- Several generic 64-ounce mason jar brewers overlap closely; buyers should compare filter details, lid design, and included accessories rather than relying on capacity alone.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Bodum 51oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker, Black
The Bodum 51oz suits buyers who want a cold brew pitcher with a spill-conscious lid system and a capacity between smaller carafes and the 64-ounce mason jar options. Its locking system helps keep the coffee contained during storage, while the supplied lids let you seal the brew after steeping. Compared with the OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker, Bodum offers more stated capacity, but OXO is explicitly designed to make concentrate and includes a reusable mesh filter. Bodum’s listed materials include stainless steel, rubber, silicone, and BPA-free plastic, though the product details do not specify a filter type or brewing time. The tradeoff is a manual process and a footprint that may be awkward in a crowded refrigerator; buyers seeking a glass jar or a clearly specified filter may prefer one of the 64-ounce alternatives.
Pros:- 51-ounce capacity sits between the OXO’s 32-ounce carafe and the 64-ounce pitchers
- Locking system is intended to help prevent spills during storage
- Two lids support sealing the coffee for freshness
- Reusable brewing approach avoids paper filters and capsules
Cons:- Manual brewing requires planning and hands-on preparation
- May be bulky in a small kitchen or crowded refrigerator
- Product details do not specify the filter design
Best for: Cold brew drinkers who want a mid-size pitcher with a locking lid system for refrigerator storage
Not ideal for: People with limited refrigerator or counter space, or buyers who want a specified fine-mesh filter
- Capacity:51 oz
- Material:Stainless steel, rubber, silicone, BPA-free plastic
- Color:Black
- Lid system:Locking system
- Included lids:Two lids
- Brewing method:Manual cold brew
Our verdict“Choose the Bodum if a locking lid and mid-size capacity matter more than a compact footprint or a clearly specified filter.”
Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 64 oz Mason Jar Pitcher with Stainless Steel Filter, Pour Spout Handle Lid, Airtight & Leak-Proof for Iced Coffee, Tea & Lemonade
This 64-ounce glass pitcher is a flexible choice for households that want one brewer for cold brew, tea, and lemonade. Its 160-micron stainless steel filter is specified more precisely than the County Line Kitchen’s mesh filter, which may help buyers compare filtration, while the airtight lid and spout are meant to make storage and serving straightforward. The large jar also holds more than the OXO Good Grips, whose 32-ounce carafe is aimed at smaller batches of concentrate. That capacity comes with a glass-handling tradeoff: the pitcher is limited to liquids no hotter than 140°F, and sudden temperature changes can cause cracking. Frequent use also means cleaning the filter. Choose this model for chilled drinks and batch brewing; skip it if you need a shatter-resistant container or want to pour hot liquids into the jar.
Pros:- 64-ounce capacity supports larger batches than the OXO’s 32-ounce carafe
- 160-micron stainless steel filter has a stated mesh specification
- Airtight lid and pour spout support storage and serving
- Dishwasher-safe design is listed for easier cleanup
Cons:- Glass can crack if handled roughly or exposed to sudden temperature shifts
- Not suitable for liquids above 140°F
- Filter needs cleaning after frequent brewing
Best for: Households that make large batches of cold brew and rotate among iced tea and other chilled drinks
Not ideal for: People who need a shatter-resistant pitcher or want to add hot liquid above 140°F
- Capacity:64 oz
- Pitcher material:Food-grade soda lime glass
- Filter material:Stainless steel
- Filter mesh size:160 microns
- Lid material:BPA-free plastic
- Maximum temperature:140°F (60°C)
- Lid:Airtight with pour spout and handle
- Cleaning:Dishwasher safe
Our verdict“Pick this pitcher for large batches of chilled drinks if you can handle glass carefully and clean the filter regularly.”
County Line Kitchen 64oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker with Leak Proof Lid – Black
The County Line Kitchen 64-ounce pairs a glass mason jar with a built-in handle and leak-proof lid, making it a practical fit for buyers who may carry chilled coffee or tea between home and a campsite. Its listed dimensions—6 inches wide by 11 inches tall—give a clearer sense of storage needs than the Bodum’s product details, while the Bodum offers a locking lid system and a smaller 51-ounce capacity. County Line’s stainless steel mesh filter supports grit-free brewing, though the listing does not give a mesh rating, unlike the 160-micron filter specified for the other 64-ounce glass pitcher in this batch. The jar is dishwasher-safe according to the product details, but it remains fragile and is not suitable for hot water. Choose it for portable, chilled batches; skip it if break resistance is a priority.
Pros:- 64-ounce jar holds more than the Bodum’s 51-ounce pitcher
- Built-in handle supports carrying and pouring
- Leak-proof lid is intended to reduce spills in storage
- Dishwasher-safe parts simplify cleanup
Cons:- Glass jar may break if mishandled
- Not suitable for hot water or boiling liquids
- Filter mesh rating is not specified
Best for: Campers and iced-tea drinkers who want a handled glass jar for transporting chilled batches
Not ideal for: People who need a shatter-resistant brewer or plan to pour hot water into the jar
- Capacity:64 oz
- Material:Glass mason jar
- Filter:Stainless steel mesh
- Color:Black
- Dimensions:6 in D × 6 in W × 11 in H
- Item weight:4 lb
- Operation mode:Manual
- Recommended uses:Cold brew coffee, iced tea, camping, traveling
Our verdict“Choose County Line Kitchen for portable chilled batches if a handle and leak-proof lid matter more than a shatter-resistant build.”
64 oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker with Mason Jar Design and Stainless Steel Filter
Among the large glass pitchers here, this model stands out for its specified 100-micron, 304 stainless steel filter and a flip-top spout that makes serving more direct. The finer stated mesh offers a useful point of comparison with the 160-micron filter in the other 64-ounce pitcher, though mesh size alone does not promise a particular cup texture. Its airtight silicone seal and dishwasher-safe construction favor everyday refrigerator use, and the included cleaning brush addresses residue that can collect in a fine filter. Unlike the County Line Kitchen, the listing calls out the filter size and brush, but does not mention a built-in handle or portability features. Glass still demands careful handling, and capacity stays at 64 ounces. This is best for buyers who prioritize stated filtration details and easy cleanup over rugged transport.
Pros:- 100-micron 304 stainless steel filter has a stated mesh size
- Flip-top spout supports controlled pouring
- Airtight BPA-free silicone seal is designed to retain freshness
- Dishwasher-safe pitcher includes a cleaning brush
Cons:- Glass construction can break if dropped or mishandled
- 64-ounce capacity may be more than a single drinker needs
- Filter may need extra cleaning when residue sticks
Best for: Cold brew drinkers who want a large glass pitcher with a specified fine filter and included cleaning brush
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a shatter-resistant brewer or a compact batch size
- Capacity:64 oz
- Pitcher material:Food-grade soda-lime glass
- Filter material:304 stainless steel
- Filter size:100 microns
- Lid seal:Airtight BPA-free silicone
- Dishwasher safe:Yes
- Included accessories:Cleaning brush
- Pouring feature:Flip-top spout
Our verdict“Pick this pitcher if fine-filter specifications and cleanup accessories matter more than portability or a smaller batch.”
OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 32 oz
The OXO Good Grips is the clearest fit for drinkers who want cold brew concentrate in a smaller carafe rather than a full 64-ounce pitcher of ready-to-serve drinks. Its even extraction system and 12-to-24-hour steeping window are geared toward producing a batch that can be diluted across as many as 14 drinks, according to the description. That makes it more purpose-built for concentrate than the Bodum 51-ounce brewer, whose supplied details do not specify an extraction system or brew time. In exchange, OXO holds only 32 ounces, so households serving several people may need to brew more often than with the County Line Kitchen. The borosilicate glass carafe and reusable mesh filter support cleanup and storage, but glass can break and overnight steeping requires planning.
Pros:- Designed to brew smooth, low-acid concentrate
- Even extraction system supports the concentrate brewing process
- Reusable mesh filter is dishwasher-safe
- Borosilicate glass carafe is designed for storage
Cons:- 32-ounce capacity is smaller than the 64-ounce pitchers
- Best flavor requires 12 to 24 hours of steeping
- Glass carafe can break if mishandled
Best for: Concentrate drinkers who want a smaller, measured batch to dilute into multiple servings
Not ideal for: Large households that want a full pitcher of ready-to-serve coffee without frequent batches
- Capacity:32 oz
- Material:Borosilicate glass, stainless steel
- Brewing time:12–24 hours
- Filter:Reusable mesh filter
- Brew style:Cold brew concentrate
- Stated yield:Up to 14 drinks
- Filter cleaning:Dishwasher safe
Our verdict“Choose OXO for planned, smaller batches of concentrate; pick a 64-ounce pitcher if serving volume matters more.”
2 Pack Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 64oz Mason Jar Pitcher with 100μm Stainless Steel Filter
For households that go through cold brew quickly, this set’s clearest advantage is having two separate 64-ounce jars: brew different coffees at once, or keep one batch ready while the next steeps. Each jar has a 100μm stainless steel filter, a leak-proof lid, and a handle, so the two-piece setup retains the familiar mason-jar routine. Compared with the single-jar JunVpic 64 oz Glass Mason Pitcher, this bundle offers more total brewing capacity and flexibility, but takes up more refrigerator space and needs more room for storage. The heavy-duty glass is still vulnerable to impact, and the supplied details do not establish long-term durability. Choose it for batch flexibility; skip it if one pitcher is enough or your fridge shelves are tight.
Pros:- Two 64 oz jars allow separate batches or a ready reserve
- 100μm stainless steel filters are included for both jars
- Each jar has a leak-proof lid and ergonomic handle
- Cleaning brushes are included for both filters
Cons:- Two glass jars require more refrigerator and storage space than a single pitcher
- Glass can break if dropped, and long-term durability details are not provided
Best for: Households that want to keep two cold brew batches ready or brew coffee and tea separately
Not ideal for: Single-person households or kitchens with limited refrigerator space, since the set includes two full-size glass jars
- Capacity:64 oz per jar
- Package quantity:2 cold brew jars
- Material:Heavy-duty glass and stainless steel filter
- Filter mesh:100μm
- Dimensions:4.25 x 4.25 x 10.2 in
- Included:2 jars, 2 filters, 2 cleaning brushes
- Style:Classic, 2-pack
Our verdict“Pick this set if you want two large batches in rotation; choose the single JunVpic pitcher if you prefer to save fridge space.”
Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 1 Gallon with Stainless Steel Filter and Spigot
This is the high-volume choice in the group: its one-gallon glass vessel can supply a gathering or a busy household without cycling through smaller batches as often. The stainless steel spigot makes serving from the container more direct than pouring from a jar such as the County Line Kitchen 64oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker. The tradeoff is its footprint and weight: at 4.4 pounds before filling, it is less convenient to move and asks for ample counter or refrigerator space. The maker is manual, and the stated 4–6 hour brew time does not remove the need to plan ahead or monitor steeping. Its glass body also needs careful handling. This suits people serving several drinkers; for a smaller routine, a 64-ounce pitcher is easier to store.
Pros:- One-gallon capacity supports larger batches
- Stainless steel spigot allows serving from the vessel
- Reusable permanent filter is included
- Stated brewing time is 4–6 hours
Cons:- Larger footprint can be awkward in a small kitchen or refrigerator
- Glass can break if dropped, and the vessel weighs 4.4 pounds before filling
- Manual brewing requires planning and attention
Best for: Hosts and larger households who want a gallon of cold brew or infused drinks ready to serve
Not ideal for: Small-kitchen users or people who want a light, easily moved pitcher, because the filled glass vessel is large and heavy
- Capacity:1 gallon
- Material:Soda-lime glass and 304 stainless steel
- Dimensions:5.5 x 5.5 x 10.5 in
- Weight:4.4 lb
- Operation:Manual
- Filter:Reusable permanent stainless steel filter
- Stated brew time:4–6 hours
Our verdict“Choose this for serving a crowd from one large batch; the County Line Kitchen 64 oz pitcher is easier to fit into an everyday routine.”
JunVpic Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 64 oz Glass Mason Pitcher
The JunVpic keeps the setup straightforward: one 64-ounce glass pitcher, a 304 stainless steel filter, and a wide mouth that makes filling and cleaning easier. Its 100-micron mesh is suited to filtering grounds while keeping the removable-filter approach simple. Compared with the two-jar Cold Brew Coffee Maker 2 Pack, it uses less storage space and avoids managing a second vessel, though it cannot keep two batches brewing at once. The product data describes the glass as break-resistant, but it remains glass and can be damaged by rough handling. The description also says it is for cold beverages, so this is a narrower choice than a pitcher presented for broader drink use. It makes sense for someone who wants one fridge-ready batch and a familiar mason-jar format.
Pros:- 64 oz capacity suits a batch for several servings
- 304 stainless steel filter with 100-micron mesh
- Wide mouth supports filling and cleaning
- Secure sealing system is designed to keep drinks fresh
Cons:- Single pitcher cannot brew or store separate batches at once
- Glass may break if mishandled
- Product description limits use to cold beverages
Best for: Cold brew drinkers who want one large batch in a glass pitcher with a removable fine-mesh filter
Not ideal for: People who need multiple batches in rotation or want a pitcher explicitly suited to hot or warm drinks
- Capacity:64 oz
- Material:Food-grade soda-lime glass
- Filter material:304 stainless steel
- Filter mesh:100 micron
- Model number:Coffee-Jar-64oz-grey
- Item count:1
- Included component:Carafe
Our verdict“Choose JunVpic for one uncomplicated glass batch; get the two-jar set if you want separate brews ready at the same time.”
Maestri House Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 40oz BPA-Free Tritan Pitcher
For buyers who would rather avoid a glass pitcher, the Maestri House uses a BPA-free Tritan body and holds 40 ounces. That is less capacity than the 64-ounce County Line Kitchen jar, so it takes up less room and makes a more manageable batch, but frequent drinkers may need to brew more often. Its adjustable coffee ratios give buyers a way to tune strength, while the 350-mesh reusable filter is specified for fine filtration. The leak-proof design is useful for storing the pitcher, though brewing and filtering remain manual tasks. The listed specific use is iced coffee, so it is a focused choice rather than a general-purpose drink pitcher. Pick it for a compact, shatter-resistant cold brew routine with control over the mix; choose a larger glass model if batch size matters more.
Pros:- BPA-free Tritan body avoids the breakage concern of glass pitchers
- Adjustable coffee ratios allow strength customization
- Reusable 350-mesh filter is designed for fine filtration
- Leak-proof design and 40 oz capacity suit refrigerator storage
Cons:- Smaller capacity than the 64 oz County Line Kitchen and JunVpic pitchers
- Manual operation still requires preparation and steeping
- Product data identifies iced coffee as its specific use
Best for: Apartment dwellers and coffee drinkers who want a smaller, shatter-resistant pitcher and adjustable brew strength
Not ideal for: Large households or people who want one large batch to last several days, since its 40 oz capacity is below the 64 oz models
- Capacity:40 oz (1.2 liters)
- Material:BPA-free Tritan
- Dimensions:6.29 x 3.58 x 9.17 in
- Weight:0.93 kg
- Filter:Reusable 350-mesh filter
- Operation:Manual
- Specific use:Iced coffee
Our verdict“Choose Maestri House if a shatter-resistant body and adjustable strength matter more than the larger capacity of County Line Kitchen’s 64 oz jar.”
County Line Kitchen 64oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker with Leak Proof Lid – Gray
The County Line Kitchen pairs a 64-ounce glass jar with a stainless steel mesh filter and a flip-cap lid described as leak-proof. Its practical appeal is a familiar pitcher routine that can also travel when sealed, and the stated dishwasher-safe parts simplify cleanup after brewing. Compared with the one-gallon spigot maker, it is easier to store and pour by hand, though serving a crowd means refilling glasses from the pitcher rather than using a tap. Its capacity matches the JunVpic 64 oz, while the gray version adds no stated brewing feature that separates it from another color variant. The glass is fragile if mishandled, and the maker should not be filled with warm or boiling water. This is a sensible pick for routine batches of coffee or iced tea, provided you are comfortable handling glass.
Pros:- 64 oz glass jar provides a full-size batch
- Stainless steel mesh filter is included
- Leak-proof flip-cap lid supports sealed storage and travel
- Dishwasher-safe parts ease cleanup
Cons:- Glass may break if dropped or mishandled
- Should not be filled with warm or boiling water
- Hand pouring is less direct than the gallon model’s spigot
Best for: People who want a 64 oz glass pitcher for routine cold brew or iced tea, with dishwasher-safe parts and a sealed flip-cap
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a shatter-resistant pitcher or a spigot for serving many people directly from the vessel
- Capacity:64 oz
- Material:Glass, stainless steel, and BPA-free plastic
- Color:Gray
- Lid:Leak-proof flip-cap
- Filter:Stainless steel mesh
- Dishwasher-safe parts:Yes
- Warm water guidance:Do not fill with warm or boiling water
Our verdict“Choose this for a standard 64 oz batch and straightforward pouring; the gallon spigot model better suits serving groups from one vessel.”
Takeya Deluxe Cold Brew Coffee Maker – BPA-Free Tritan Pitcher with Airtight Leakproof Lid, Silicone Grip Handle, Fine-Mesh Filter – Shatter-Proof, Dishwasher Safe, Made in USA – 1 Quart/Black
The 1-quart Takeya suits people who want a small batch ready in the fridge without giving much shelf space to a brewer. Its fine-mesh filter keeps grounds contained, while the airtight, leakproof lid makes storage and pouring more practical than covering a spare jar. Compared with the 2-quart Takeya, this version is easier to fit into a crowded refrigerator but needs more frequent refills for regular cold brew drinkers. Its Tritan pitcher is shatter-proof, a useful alternative to glass models such as the Primula Burke if accidental knocks are a concern. The tradeoff is capacity: one quart can run short for households or entertaining. Dishwasher-safe construction also helps keep routine cleanup simple, though brewing still takes time.
Pros:- Compact 1-quart capacity takes less refrigerator space
- Shatter-proof BPA-free Tritan pitcher
- Airtight, leakproof lid helps preserve aroma and prevent spills
- Dishwasher-safe pitcher and fine-mesh filter
Cons:- Small capacity means frequent brewing for regular or shared use
- Cold brewing requires advance steeping
- No temperature-control options are specified
Best for: Solo drinkers or couples with limited refrigerator space who prefer making smaller batches of cold brew.
Not ideal for: Households that pour cold brew throughout the day or hosts who need enough for several guests.
- Capacity:1 quart
- Pitcher material:BPA-free Tritan
- Lid:Airtight and leakproof
- Handle:Silicone grip
- Filter:Fine mesh
- Dishwasher safe:Yes
- Made in:USA
Our verdict“Choose the 1-quart Takeya for a compact, shatter-proof brewer when a small batch is enough.”
64 oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker Mason Jar Pitcher with Stainless Steel Filter
This 64-ounce pitcher is a useful choice for people who want one vessel for cold brew and other chilled drinks. The product details list coffee, iced tea, lemonade, and beverage storage, giving it broader use than the cold-brew-focused Primula Burke. Its 316L stainless steel filter, with a 160-micron Dutch weave, is specified more precisely than the Takeya’s fine-mesh filter, which may help shoppers compare filtration styles. A leakproof silicone seal and pouring spout address storage and serving in a single design. The tradeoff is that the listing gives no dimensions, so refrigerator fit is harder to judge than with the Primula Burke, which is described as fitting most refrigerator doors. Material details mention both food-grade BPA-free plastic and stainless steel, but do not clearly specify the pitcher body, so buyers seeking glass should look elsewhere.
Pros:- 64-ounce capacity supports larger batches
- 316L stainless steel filter has a specified 160-micron Dutch weave
- Leakproof silicone seal and spout support storage and pouring
- Designed for coffee, tea, lemonade, and other beverages
Cons:- Pitcher dimensions are not specified, making fit harder to assess
- The body material is not clearly identified in the supplied details
- Large capacity may take more refrigerator space than the 1-quart Takeya
Best for: Households that want a large pitcher for cold brew plus iced tea, lemonade, or chilled beverage storage.
Not ideal for: Buyers who specifically want a glass pitcher or need confirmed dimensions before checking refrigerator fit.
- Capacity:64 oz
- Listed materials:Food-grade BPA-free plastic and stainless steel
- Filter material:316L stainless steel
- Filter weave:160-micron Dutch weave
- Seal:Leakproof silicone
- Pouring:Spout
- Dishwasher safe:Yes
- Dimensions:Not specified
Our verdict“Pick this pitcher if you want a roomy, multi-use brewer and do not need a confirmed glass body or listed dimensions.”
Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 64oz Mason Jar Pitcher with Stainless Steel Filter, Leak-Proof Lid, Handle, and Silicone Base
For buyers who prefer glass, this 64-ounce mason-style pitcher pairs a heavy-duty glass body with a stainless steel filter and a non-slip silicone base. That makes it distinct from the Tritan Takeya, which is lighter and shatter-proof but does not offer a glass vessel. Its 160-micron woven mesh and sealed pour-spout lid are aimed at making a large batch easier to filter and serve. The silicone base adds grip and a buffer against countertop knocks, though it does not change the basic fragility of glass. Temperature limits matter here: the pitcher is rated to 60°C (140°F), so it cannot take boiling water or sudden temperature changes. Compared with the 64 oz pitcher whose body material is not clearly identified, this model gives shoppers a specific glass construction, with the added care that entails.
Pros:- Heavy-duty glass body is explicitly identified
- 160-micron woven metal mesh filter
- Leakproof lid includes a pour spout
- Non-slip silicone base adds grip and surface protection
Cons:- Maximum stated temperature is 60°C (140°F)
- Glass needs care around impacts and sudden temperature changes
- Not suitable for boiling water
Best for: Cold brew drinkers who want a glass 64-ounce pitcher and a stable base for refrigerator and countertop use.
Not ideal for: People who need a shatter-proof pitcher or want to pour hot or boiling water into the vessel.
- Capacity:64 oz
- Pitcher material:Heavy-duty glass
- Filter:Stainless steel, 160-micron woven metal mesh
- Lid:Sealed, leakproof with pour spout
- Base:Non-slip silicone
- Maximum temperature:60°C (140°F)
- Dishwasher safe:Yes, according to the supplied product details
Our verdict“Choose this model for a glass cold brew pitcher with a stable base, provided you can avoid heat and impact.”
Primula Burke Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker, 6-Cup, Aqua
The Primula Burke is a straightforward pick for buyers who want a glass carafe that fits most refrigerator doors. Its removable mesh filter keeps the brewing setup simple, while the stated 6-cup, 52-ounce capacity gives it more room than the 1-quart Takeya for shared use. Compared with the 64-ounce glass mason-style pitcher, the Burke’s listed refrigerator-door compatibility offers a clearer clue about where it may fit, though it holds slightly less. The tradeoff is that it is described specifically for cold brew, rather than the broader beverage use listed for the 64 oz pitcher with stainless steel filter. Best results require overnight steeping and a coarse grind, so this is a planned-ahead routine, not a quick coffee maker. Its glass carafe also calls for more care than the shatter-proof Takeya.
Pros:- 52-ounce capacity makes more than the 1-quart Takeya
- Glass carafe with removable mesh filter
- Fits most refrigerator doors, according to the product details
- Dishwasher safe
Cons:- Best results require overnight steeping
- Coarse-ground coffee is recommended
- Glass is less impact-resistant than the Tritan Takeya
Best for: Cold brew drinkers who want a glass carafe with stated refrigerator-door compatibility and a removable filter.
Not ideal for: People who need quick coffee, prefer a shatter-proof pitcher, or want one brewer for hot coffee and other drinks.
- Capacity:6 cups (52 oz)
- Carafe material:Glass
- Other listed material:BPA-free plastic
- Color:Aqua
- Filter:Removable mesh
- Dishwasher safe:Yes
- Refrigerator compatibility:Fits most refrigerator doors
Our verdict“Pick the Primula Burke if refrigerator-door fit and a removable-filter glass carafe matter more than shatter resistance or multi-use brewing.”
Takeya Deluxe Cold Brew Coffee Maker – 2 Quart, BPA-Free Tritan Pitcher with Airtight Leakproof Lid, Fine-Mesh Filter, Dishwasher Safe, Made in USA
The 2-quart Takeya doubles the capacity of the 1-quart version while keeping the same core advantages: a shatter-proof Tritan pitcher, airtight leakproof lid, and fine-mesh filter. That makes it a better fit for households that pour cold brew often and want fewer brew cycles. Against the Primula Burke, it trades a glass carafe for impact resistance and lists both hot and cold brewing; the Primula instead offers a removable filter and stated refrigerator-door compatibility. The larger pitcher can be bulky in a small kitchen, and the supplied details say it requires manual cleaning despite listing it as dishwasher safe, so buyers should check care instructions for the filter and parts. It remains a batch brewer: the larger capacity does not remove the wait for cold extraction.
Pros:- 2-quart capacity is twice that of the compact Takeya
- BPA-free Tritan construction is shatter-proof
- Airtight, leakproof lid helps preserve freshness and reduce spills
- Fine-mesh filter and stated hot or cold brewing versatility
Cons:- Bulkier than the 1-quart Takeya and may crowd small refrigerators
- Cold brewing still requires advance steeping
- Supplied details describe manual cleaning despite also listing dishwasher-safe construction
Best for: Households that drink cold brew regularly and want a shatter-proof pitcher with room for a larger batch.
Not ideal for: Solo drinkers with limited refrigerator space or buyers who prioritize a glass carafe and clearly stated door fit.
- Capacity:2 quarts
- Pitcher material:BPA-free Tritan
- Lid:Airtight and leakproof
- Filter:Fine mesh
- Dishwasher safe:Yes, according to the listed specs
- Brewing options:Hot or cold
- Made in:USA
Our verdict“Choose the 2-quart Takeya for frequent, larger batches when impact resistance matters more than compact storage.”
How We Picked
I ranked these brewers by how well their stated design features address everyday cold brew decisions: batch size, filter style, pouring and storage, materials, and cleanup. Capacity matters because a compact brewer can be easier to store but may need more frequent refills; a larger jar or gallon model can reduce brewing frequency while occupying more space. I also weighed the practical differences between glass and Tritan, plus details such as leak-resistant lids, handles, silicone bases, and spigots.
The OXO leads for its purpose-built brewing format and smaller footprint. I placed the County Line Kitchen and Takeya 2-quart options among the standouts because they serve different priorities: glass pitcher brewing versus shatter-resistant capacity. The remaining models rank by how clearly their listed features solve a distinct need. Where several listings share a 64-ounce mason jar format, the available product details show limited differentiation, so I treat them as close alternatives rather than assuming one has better brewing performance.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Cold Brew Coffee Makers
Before choosing a cold brew maker, think about how often you want to brew, where the vessel will live, and how you plan to serve the finished coffee. Capacity and filter design shape the routine more than a long feature list does. These broader checks can help you avoid a brewer that is awkward to store or mismatched to your coffee habits.
Choose Capacity Around Your Drinking Routine
Start with how many servings you make between brew sessions, not the largest capacity you can fit in a listing. A smaller brewer can be easier to store and handle, but frequent drinkers may need to start another batch sooner. A 64-ounce pitcher suits households that share cold brew, while a one-gallon vessel is a better match for serving several people or preparing a larger supply. Remember that the stated vessel capacity does not necessarily equal the volume of finished coffee, since grounds and the filter take up space. A common mistake is buying for occasional gatherings when most batches are for one person. Match the capacity to your regular week, then treat extra volume as a bonus rather than a requirement.
Decide Whether Glass or Tritan Fits Your Kitchen
Glass lets you see the brew and avoids a plastic vessel, but it can be heavier and more vulnerable to impact. Tritan models such as the Takeya and Maestri House listings emphasize lighter, shatter-resistant handling, which can matter in crowded refrigerators or homes with children. Neither material makes a brewer automatically easier to use: lid security, handle shape, and how full the vessel feels all affect daily handling. Check whether the maker specifies dishwasher-safe parts, and identify which components that claim covers. If you often carry a brewer between counter and fridge, weight and grip may matter more than appearance. Choose the material that fits your storage and handling habits.
Look Past Filter Mesh Claims
A filter’s job is to keep grounds out of the finished drink, but a mesh number alone does not tell you how easy the brewer is to clean or how much sediment you will get. Compare whether the filter is removable, how much of the vessel it occupies, and whether the product description explains its construction. Fine mesh can appeal to buyers who want fewer grounds in the cup, yet it may need careful rinsing to clear trapped particles. A wide filter opening can make loading and emptying grounds simpler. Do not assume two stainless steel filters perform identically just because they use the same material. Look for clear filter dimensions and cleaning guidance when those details matter to you.
Plan for Fridge Space and Serving
Measure the shelf where you expect to store the brewer, including vertical clearance and room to lift it out. A tall pitcher may fit poorly even when its capacity sounds right, while a broad jar can compete with other containers. A spigot can make serving a large batch convenient, but the vessel needs a stable place where the tap can be reached and will not drip onto other food. Handle and pour-spout designs matter more when you plan to serve directly from the fridge. Some buyers focus on total volume and overlook the footprint of a full, heavy vessel. Check the brewer’s dimensions and the path from shelf to counter before choosing.
Compare Cleanup and Long-Term Wear
Cold brew leaves wet grounds behind, so filter removal and access to the vessel interior can shape how pleasant cleanup feels. A narrow opening may make it harder to reach corners, even if it looks neat on a shelf. Check whether the filter, lid, and seals can be separated for washing, and follow the maker’s care instructions for each part. Dishwasher-safe claims can save time, but they may apply only to the pitcher rather than every component. Silicone bases and seals can add grip or reduce contact with hard surfaces, though they create extra pieces to wash. Prioritize a design you can empty and rinse without leaving grounds packed into awkward spots.
Pay for Features That Change Your Routine
A premium price makes sense when a brewer’s design solves a recurring problem, such as fragile glass, limited storage, or the need to prepare larger batches. A dedicated brewing format may be worthwhile if it improves handling and suits your space, while a simple jar can be enough for buyers who mainly need an infuser and a lid. Avoid paying extra for a claimed capacity you will rarely use. Accessories and replacement filters can also affect long-term usefulness, so check what is included and whether parts are available. For a first brewer, straightforward loading, pouring, and cleaning may matter more than specialized features. Let your routine determine which upgrades are useful.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 32-ounce brewer too small for a household that drinks cold brew every day?
It depends on how many people share each batch and how concentrated the brew is intended to be. The OXO’s 32-ounce size takes less room than the 64-ounce pitchers in this lineup, but it may mean brewing more often for multiple daily drinkers. Check the maker’s instructions for how much finished coffee the batch yields, since vessel capacity is not the same as serving count. If you want fewer brew sessions, a larger pitcher is likely a better fit. If fridge space is tight or you drink cold brew occasionally, the smaller format can be easier to live with.
Should I choose a glass mason jar brewer or a Tritan pitcher?
Choose based on handling and storage rather than assuming one material makes better cold brew. Glass models, including the County Line Kitchen pitcher, offer a familiar jar format but need more care around hard surfaces. The Takeya and Maestri House listings use Tritan, which is described as shatter resistant and may suit a busy kitchen. Compare weight, grip, dimensions, and cleaning instructions before deciding. The material does not replace the need to check lid fit and filter design.
Do I need a brewer with a spigot for making large batches?
A spigot can make serving a large vessel easier, especially when several people pour from it over time. It also changes where the brewer can sit: you need enough clearance beneath the tap and a stable surface. A standard pitcher may be simpler to lift and pour, while a one-gallon model with a spigot can be cumbersome to move when full. Consider how much fridge room the vessel and tap need before choosing. If you pour only one serving at a time, a spigot may add little practical value.
Are the many 64-ounce mason jar cold brew makers meaningfully different?
Some may be close substitutes when their listed designs share a glass jar and stainless steel filter. Differences worth checking include mesh specifications, lid construction, handle design, silicone bases, and what accessories come in the package. The product names alone do not establish how well the filters work or how securely lids seal. Compare dimensions and care instructions as well, since two similar-capacity jars can fit and clean differently. If the listings provide few distinguishing details, choose based on the features they clearly document.
What should I check before putting a cold brew maker in the dishwasher?
Look for care instructions for each component rather than relying on a general dishwasher-safe claim. A pitcher may be dishwasher safe while its lid, filter, seals, or silicone pieces require hand washing. Grounds can collect in fine mesh and around joints, so rinse the filter soon after emptying the brewer. Avoid assuming that all parts can handle the same cycle or temperature. If the product listing does not specify which pieces are dishwasher safe, treat that as a point to verify before buying.
Conclusion
For most buyers, I recommend the OXO Good Grips 32-ounce brewer as the best overall choice for a purpose-built setup in a more compact size. The generic 64-ounce mason jar pitchers are the value direction when a straightforward large glass vessel meets your needs; compare their documented filter and lid details before choosing among similar listings. For a premium, shatter-resistant pitcher, the Takeya Deluxe 2-quart makes the most sense, while the Takeya 1-quart better suits smaller batches in the same material. Beginners who want a familiar glass pitcher can start with the County Line Kitchen, whose leak-resistant lid is a clear practical feature. Choose the one-gallon spigot model for high-volume serving, and the OXO if fridge space matters more than batch size.
