New York, New York, USA

When your countertops and refrigerator shelves are short on space, you need a compact coffee maker that will deliver cold brew without taking over your kitchen.

Designed by Smart Design and OXO, this compact cold brew coffee maker from OXO is functionally and aesthetically fit for the task.

Details like a cork stopper with a silicone seal and a borosilicate glass carafe retain an upscale feeling while remaining practical and accessible to cold brew novices.

Even though the brewer is only 5.25 inches wide, it still makes enough coffee concentrate to last you a whole week.

Just add water and let it pour over your coffee grounds and steep for 12 to 24 hours. The petite glass carafe even comes with a cork stopper to keep your brew fresh for days.

This coffee maker includes a special “Rainmaker” feature that evenly distributes water during the brewing process through a perforated top for smooth coffee that’s less acidic than traditional brewing methods.

An ultra-fine, stainless steel mesh filter prevents coffee grounds from entering the carafe and can be detached for easy cleaning. The filter is infinitely reusable so there is no need to purchase a single-use filter that gets tossed out every time. When not in use, the brewer and carafe nest together for easy storage.

Once the water passes through the ultra-fine stainless steel mesh filter, it collects in a carafe with measurement markings.

It also comes apart for easy cleaning and the parts nest together for efficient storing when it’s not in use.
