Let\u2019s get one thing straight: Iced coffee and cold brew coffee are not <\/em>the same things. To suggest otherwise is sacrilege in my book, and an admission that your palate has been confusing melty-ice-water coffee with the real deal: the concentrated, rich flavor that coffee beans were born to give us.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately for the cold brew snobs among us, shelling out the cash for your daily cuppa mud gets expensive\u2014fast. Rather than running your wallet dry day by day, you can make a one-time purchase that will revolutionize your caffeine-dependent life: a cold brew coffee maker <\/a>that lets you make your favorite caffeinated drink at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span> The good news is that making cold brew coffee is probably the easiest, most hands-off coffee-brewing method of them all. The only thing you need to do is load the grounds into a vessel that will let them steep in room temperature water overnight, and voila! <\/em>You\u2019ve just made yourself a cold brew coffee concentrate that will rival that of your local artisanal coffee shop.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Since the cold brew process is so simple, so too are the cold brew makers (typically). However, that doesn\u2019t mean that there aren\u2019t plenty of great options for you to choose from. That\u2019s why we rounded up a few of the best cold brew makers, from classic pitchers and fancy growlers<\/a> to personal tumblers<\/a> and elaborate wooden towers of pure java joy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to be a barista to successfully use the Takeya pitcher\u2014it’s one of the most user-friendly cold brew makers out there. It fits snugly in the fridge, and the airtight lid keeps your cold brew fresh for up to two weeks. (Although its brew is so delicious, you\u2019ll surely finish it before then.)\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/div>\n Takeya<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n $27.99 at Takeya<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n This sleek infuser streamlines your cold brew process perfectly\u2014you don\u2019t even have to pour your brew, since the vessel doubles as a to-go tumbler, so your coffee will be ready to grab and drink, straight from the source.

(If you haven\u2019t had Guinness\u2026 you should.) Fun fact, it\u2019s also possible to make a great cup of nitro cold brew at home, too\u2014and you don\u2019t need an expensive draft setup<\/a> to achieve the creamy goodness you\u2019ve been overpaying for every other day. Instead, snag GrowlerWerks\u2019 uKeg nitro cold brew coffee maker. It lets you achieve the perfect draft pour right in your own kitchen.
