OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker

The Rainmaker feature is a perforated lid that evenly distributes water over the coffee grounds. This ensures all the grounds are fully saturated, preventing dry pockets and resulting in a more consistent, balanced extraction.

The stainless steel mesh filter is designed to catch the majority of grounds, but because it is a metal mesh rather than paper, you may notice a very small amount of fine sediment at the bottom of your carafe. This is typical for cold brew makers and contributes to the full-bodied texture of the coffee.

This model has a capacity of 32 ounces. Depending on how strong you prefer your brew, this typically yields enough concentrate to last several days when diluted with water or milk.

The brewing process is manual, but the switch makes it simple. You add your grounds and water, let it steep for 12 to 24 hours, and then flip the switch to drain the concentrate into the carafe. It does not require active monitoring while it steeps.

The components are designed for easy maintenance. The stainless steel filter is reusable and rinses clean quickly, and the main brewing container is simple to wipe down. All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe for added convenience.

The included lid is designed to protect the coffee from contaminants during the brewing process. While it fits securely, it is not an airtight seal, so it is best to transfer your finished concentrate to an airtight bottle or jar if you plan to store it in the refrigerator for more than a day or two.
