Cold-brew coffee is best when the grounds steep directly in water for hours, and the OXO makes the rest of the process easy. Just flip a switch to begin draining the brew into the carafe. The metal filter cuts sediment to a minimum. Buy it at Amazon.
Cuisinart's brewer dramatically accelerates the steeping process by spinning and shaking. The coffee won't be as tasty, but it's "totally acceptable," and it can be ready in just 25 minutes, as opposed to, say, 24 hours. Add a paper filter to cut sediment. Buy it at Amazon.
A great value option, the Takeya is an immersion brewer with a mesh pouch to hold the grounds. Its BPA-free, dishwasher-safe carafe is so leak-proof you could even store it in the fridge on its side. Buy it at Amazon.
