10 Best Cold Brew Coffee Makers with Stainless Steel Filter for 2026 – Expert Pi

Customer Review: “I am beyond impressed with this 64 oz Mason Jar Cold Brew Coffee Maker! From the moment I opened it, I could tell the materials were high quality. The glass feels thick and durable, not flimsy at all, and the components fit together securely without leaking or feeling loose. It has that sturdy, well-made construction that instantly gives you confidence it’s going to last. Making cold brew with it was incredibly easy. Just add your grounds, pour in water (into the filter and over the grounds) let it steep, and you’re done. The filter does a fantastic job, smooth coffee, minimal gritty residue, and a clean, rich flavor every time. Cleaning is just as simple, which is a huge win for me. Everything rinses out easily, and the wide mouth makes it super convenient to wash thoroughly. No awkward scrubbing or trapped grounds. I may have thrown mine in the dishwasher! The 64 oz size is perfect for prepping multiple servings at once, which saves time during busy weeks. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, this is a high-quality, user-friendly cold brew maker that delivers exactly what it promises! Highly recommend! ☕️”

Customer Review: “5/12/25: UPDATE: The pot works fine. One thing drive me to using bad words. I said this before, but it is an irritant. They attached the handle to the lid. Plastic lids are hard enough to use on glass jar. Having a handle in the way so that you have to remove you hand with each turn is frustrating. Fir someone new to what cold coffee brew represents, this is a good starter pot, or I frequently used pot. The instruction page presented a problem. Simple answer: go online and get detailed instructions on just how to make cold coffee. Now, the simple instructions manuel is a fine reminder. Packaging handled the trip thru shipping very well. It is glass. It was double packed. There were many choices of cold brewing containers. Considering the cleaning process I go thru with my automatic tea pot, I opted for simple. Simple is very easy to clean with no over-engineered top to take apart to clean. Small enough for refrigerator or counter. The gaskets didn’t look sturdy to me, but after use and washing, I think they will be just fine. It’s hard for the plastic lid to screw on and off because of the handle, but I succeed. I use a standard tube sponge to clean the filter. Works better.”

Customer Review: “I use this for making iced tea and it works perfectly. You can use tea bags or loose-leaf tea, and both come out great. It’s easy to fill, strain, and clean, and I like that I can just keep it in the fridge and pour as I go. The airtight seal keeps everything fresh. Super convenient and a staple for my fridge now.”

Customer Review: “Fantastic product. Truly some of the best things I’ve bought in a while. Looks great and everyone loves it. My mom and sister both have asked for the link to purchase one.”

Customer Review: “This is a really great coffee maker, I just add coffee and water and then set it to forget it. The next morning I have coffee. I chose this because of the simplicity. I am not a coffee drinker, I drink coffee for the energy not for the enjoyment. I see that some people say that the coffee is weak tasting despite adding a ton of grounds and waiting for more than the recommended time. This may happen when not all the coffee grounds are saturated, I use a chopstick to stir the grounds around to make sure that every ground is touched by the water. If you just add the water in quickly, some grounds in the center or bottom will become packed and never touch water at all. Some people are getting a sludge at the bottom of their coffee. The recommendation is to use coarse ground. At that point if you’re still getting sludge I recommend to add the grounds to the mesh strainer and then shake it over the sink. That way you are forcing the grounds that are fine enough to pass through the strainer to pass through before you even start the brewing process. I can’t speak for the taste, whether it’s weak, strong, acidic or bitter, i have no idea. I think that all coffee tastes bad, I add a ton of milk to the point where I don’t notice the coffee. I don’t know why people are saying that it’s easy to clean. Because I spend a quite a few minutes running water on the outside of the strainer to get the remaining coffee grounds out. That might be due to me using pre ground coffee and they’re smaller, so easier to get stuck inside the strainer? But honestly that’s not even a deal breaker. The design is so sleek and simple and I hate burning hot coffee that I just can’t imagine having any other coffee maker. I just tried it with actual beans that I ground myself instead of the dunkin donuts preground coffee. The taste is immaculate. Well not really, I still don’t enjoy coffee all that much. But the less acidic taste is definitely apparent, went down smoothly. Definitely buy your own beans to grind or at least buy some higher quality preground coffee, not dunkin donuts.”

Customer Review: “I started to feel ripped off spending $4+ every morning for a basic cold brew that was mostly ice at the cafe I frequent, so I bought this a few months ago to see if I could get a brew just as good at home and it did not disappoint! I feel like it paid for itself in a week and was 110% worth the investment! I use coarse grounds specifically meant for cold brew and a little bit of ground does leak through the filter but I don’t find it bothersome at all. The particles are so fine that I usually drink them all up. It’s not like sipping on sand or anything. I brew about two pots a week and use a little more than half a cup of grounds each time (about 9-10 tbsp) It’s been two months and I haven’t used a whole pound of coffee grounds yet, so I estimate $12.99 gets me roughly 50+ cups of coffee! The pot is an investment, but if I get tired of cold brew I figure I can brew tea or fruit infused water or whatever trendy brew comes around next. I brew in the fridge for 48 hours before removing the filter, though usually I steal a cup after 24 hours and just refill the water and put it back in the fridge. I also fill it alllll the way to the top, not just to the 32 ounce line. It doesn’t make a concentrate, but it does make a strong brew that I drink black, just poured over ice. I find it extremely easy to clean, except the filter. I don’t bother putting any of it in the dishwasher, just give it a quick hand wash and then brew again. I would have liked the filter to have holes to the bottom because it would make it easier to clean but overall I do really love that there’s virtually no waste, no paper filters, no k-cups, nothing, so I try to focus on that while I’m smacking the filter over the sink, trying to get the bottom layer of grounds out! All in all, I’d buy this again in a heartbeat.”

Customer Review: “Great price and makes great tasting coffee – smooth and easy to fix. The pitcher is nice solid glass & the filter is sturdy stainless steel. No acid taste in the coffee. I put 1 cup of coffee grounds in the stainless steel filter, put it in the carafe and then fill it with cold water, put it in the fridge for 18 to 24 hours, and I’ve got concentrate for making my morning coffee! When I use the cold brew concentrate to make my morning coffee, I pour 1 cup of concentrate into a quart measuring cup, and add 3 cups of boiling water and heat it in the microwave, for a quick and easy quart of morning coffee. This GWNF Cold Brew Coffee Maker is a high quality bargain that helps me make enough coffee concentrate to last several days. It will become your favorite coffee maker too.”

Customer Review: “When I bought this, I didn’t have high expectations, but I must say it has been a game changer. Instead of using a regular coffee maker and ending up with cold coffee, this device cold brews it for you. All you need to do is add water separately, fill the middle compartment with your favorite coffee, seal it, and place it in your fridge. The suggested brewing time is 16 hours for a strong flavor, and it’s super easy to use. The first one I received had a handle that was poorly welded, causing it to shift, which made me worry that it would eventually break if I used it. However, it was replaced quickly, and the new item works amazingly well for the price. This will save you a lot of money compared to buying your morning coffee from outside.”

Customer Review: “I like it, but it is heavy. I have a plastic Tupperware one I honestly like better in my other home, but this one is much cheaper and does the trick. It is glass (which is why it’s so heavy, I think), but it seems pretty durable. If you don’t have wrist strength, you might need to support it with your other hand as you pour. Washes up in the dishwasher nicely.”

Customer Review: “This pitcher is pretty big, holding 8 cups of coffee. It has a very fine metal mesh filter to hold the coffee grains. It works well, but like any metal filter, the very fine coffee grains make their way through the metal and into your water. This makes the coffee murky and muddy. A simple solution is to filter your cold brew, once it is finished, through a paper coffee filter to make it nice and clear. It is an extra step and expected when using cheesecloth or, in this case, a metal filter for cold brew. All in all, this cold brew maker/pitcher works well. I made my first pitcher of cold brew and it came out great.”

Customer Review: “Purchased this for my husband for iced tea as buying bottles was getting expensive. This is a sturdy jar, made with thick heavy glass. The spigot attaches easily and does NOT drip. Being glass, it doesn’t retain any odor from whatever is stored in it. The strainer works well for coffee, tea and even fresh fruit if you are having a gathering and just want flavored water. We put this on the middle rack in the fridge and the spigot easily clears the door, so it doesn’t have to be moved except to clean and refill. The little chalkboard label is an adorable bonus which I wasn’t expecting.”

Customer Review: “I bought this so that I could make iced tea at home. I usually add a little bit of cool water to the bottom of it and then boil my tea and an electric kettle. I then add the hot tea directly to the container. It works great and it will hold the tea for a couple weeks before it gets bad. It fits well in the refrigerator and doesn’t take up too much space. I don’t know that I would want much larger a size due to the weight on the glass shelves of the refrigerator. It does seem to be pretty durable and I usually hand wash it and it does fine. I just make sure that I run some water and soapy water through the spigot part. Definitely a good value for what you’re getting. I wanted to go with glass so that I didn’t have hot tea going into plastic and potentially releasing PFAS. Metal top lid can be a little tricky to get aligned, but there’s no need to necessarily over tighten it. I’ve actually come to really like the Zulay products because they are of a good quality.”

Customer Review: “For the amount of coffee beans I dump into my percolator to make one cup of strong coffee, I thought I would be better off making cold brew and squeezing every last drop of caffeine out of my beans. This pitcher is functional, easy to clean, screw together, and has the little measuring tick marks on the side. For $20 it’s a great deal. I’m now enamored with the whole mason jar thing and it’s appealing to have a giant mason jar pitcher. Also the plastic lid screws on tight, my arms being stronger than some, so I had to be careful not to screw it on tighter. It’s a 64oz mason jar, but with the filter filled with 8oz of ground coffee it’s slightly less. The instructions say to use 8oz of coffee grounds with 64oz water, I didn’t come up with that myself. Also, you have to grind your own beans: the pre-ground beans from the store are too fine and seeped out of my metal tea strainers that I already had from a different brand/appliance. I didn’t experiment with putting store bought grounds in this strainer, no desire to potentially drink coffee with fine grounds in it. So in addition to this pitcher I ended up buying a Black&Decker basic coffee grinder, to get coarse grinds. I also labeled the lid with the date/time my 24-hour batch would be ready, with a red wax pencil. you can use masking tape or whatever, sharpie washes off plastic with dish soap sometimes. Overall this is a decent pitcher for making your own cold brew coffee.”

Customer Review: “Why pay high prices for coffee shop cold brew when you can easily make your own at home? This cold brew coffee maker is simply amazing! It’s super easy to use, easy to clean, and delivers great taste and convenience at a fraction of the cost. The 64oz glass jar is sturdy and well-made, and the stainless steel filter works perfectly. It’s also fun to use with family — everyone can craft their own unique blend of decaf or caffeinated cold brew to suit their taste. Choosing the right coffee beans makes all the difference! Highly recommended — great price, excellent build quality, and a must-have for any coffee lover.”

Customer Review: “I would consider myself a coffee fanatic. I have a nespresso, a kitchenaid espresso maker, 3 french presses, two pour overs, and a few other various ways of making coffee short of straight up injecting it into my veins. Over time however, I found that the cold brew method is one of the easiest ways to get consistently delicious coffee. It’s less bitter and has a smoother taste over all. I wanted to save on baggies and trash over all so I ordered this cold brewer that comes with a metal mesh. The only trash is the coffee grounds, which is super easy to reuse or throw away without much mess. Since it takes at least 8-12 hours (overnight) to brew you also know you’ve gotten all the caffeine you can get out of those beans. It will brew about 3-5 days worth of coffee, depending on how much coffee you drink per day. The glass is VERY sturdy and the metal mesh is not flimsy either. Once the overnight brew is finished, I will usually take the grounds out, wash the mesh, and enjoy the smooth sippings. I will say, this is COLD BREW so, it’s really only for people who enjoy cold/iced coffee. It also makes a great pitcher since you can remove the metal mesh and pour in lemonade in the summer or any other drink you can make. That makes it a great multipurpose product for the price. It’s also not too big and will fit in the door of my fridge. Overall, if you are a coffee fan and a lover of cold coffee, this is a 10/10 purchase.”

Don’t hesitate to buy 🤩”

Its thick glass body feels sturdy yet elegant, while the stainless steel filter produces a clean, grit-free brew and is easy to remove for rinsing.

Overall, it’s a well-designed, reliable pitcher that elevates homemade cold brew with both simplicity and style.”

Customer Review: “This couldn’t be any more perfect. Seriously… if you are a cold brew coffee snob… this is for you. It’s a very well made cold brew maker. The filter is a super fine mesh. Be sure to use a medium to coarse grind. I love how well this works & how well made it it. But I also really appreciate that it’s a very modern looking design as well. I live opening my frig & seeing it in there. It takes up very little room & the airtight seal keeps any potential frig odors from permeating my coffee & ruining the flavor. I’ve saved a ton of money already by making my own cold brew! I very highly recommend this to cold brew lovers!”
