5 Best County Line Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Makers for 2026 – Expert Picks

Customer Review: “It’s a great product. Simple well built easy to use. I’ve only used it twice.First I tasted the coffee at different times. four hours, 6, 8, 12, 24. To see the difference that made.I didn’t like any of it. In fact I couldn’t drink it and threw it all out.Not the coffee makers fault. I just don’t like cold brew. It even makes me feel sick.I drink decaf for the flavor of it. I like a deep rich coffee flavor. I like a medium roast sweet coffee bean espresso. Cold brew just doesn’t taste anything like that. It has its own taste which is very mild and smooth or flavorless depending on your attitude. But it does extract more caffeine from the beans even my decaf beans made coffee too caffeinated for me. It also extracted some other stuff from the beans my espresso maker doesn’t having a totally different effect on that I didn’t like. I recommend trying cold brew before getting into making it yourself but my coffee shop doesn’t have decaf cold brew so I had to buy this to see for myself. If you like cold brew this is a great way to go. Aside from changing the time of the brew you can play around with adding paper filters inside the metal filter or filtering the coffee after it’s done but I didn’t mind the slight sludge on the bottom of my coffee cup. So the machine is simple easy to use works well easy to clean. Great if you like cold brew but it’s a completely different type of coffee.”

Customer Review: “I love this. It is not like pressing a button and coffee comes out, but cold brewing coffee is a bit of a process and should be, because it needs to sit for 12-24 hours. It is pretty easy to clean, simple to use, and the glass jar washes easily and does not stain. Coffee stains like a b….”

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 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 your hand with each turn is frustrating. For 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 manual 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: “After spending way too much time reading reviews of glass pitchers, I concluded they were all either too small or too fragile. Then I got to thinking: if only I could turn these strong-but-cheap-and-easily-replaceable-if-I-break-them two quart mason jars that I had into pitchers somehow… and here we are. I’ve taken to drinking a ridiculous amount of this cold-brew tea. I keep three two-quart mason jars in the refrigerator brewing this stuff at any given time. One has this flip cap thing on it. When it’s empty, I transfer this handle thingy onto the next one in line. Other than the minor cons listed below, this thing is perfect for my purposes. I’m glad it exists. Pros: very strong and very well made. Seals well around the jar if you tighten it even a little bit. It never leaks and I have no fear that it will unscrew by accident or that the handle will crack. The flip cap part opens easily enough, and it seals well when closed, but I wouldn’t try turning it upside down. UPDATE 2020-09-07: It does not pop open if you turn it upside down! Cons: the handle is hollow/open on the outside. That in itself is not an issue, but I wish they had curved the plastic in even a couple of millimeters around the hollow part, or made it touch thicker just so the edge around the hollow part could curve a bit more. That would make it more comfortable to hold when it’s attached to a full 2-quart jar. Overall it’s fine and easy enough to hold anyway, so this isn’t worth docking it a star for, but it’d be a good improvement for the next iteration of this thing. Neutrals: if you tighten it too much, it’s pretty hard to unscrew because it has a very good seal. I predict you will make this mistake once even though I warned you. When that happens, just hold the handle still with one hand, wrap your other arm around the jar, and twist the jar. Also, if you are using a square-ish mason jar, the handle will not line up perfectly with a flat side, which may look a bit awkward but it doesn’t have any utilitarian consequences so I don’t really care. Consider that a con if that sort of thing bugs you. I almost listed price as a con, but I realized my pricing expectations have been distorted by plastic just that gets spewed out of Chinese factories, costs almost nothing, and breaks easily. This thing seems really strong, and after a month of using it a lot (seriously, I’ve been drinking about 3 quarts of that tea a day for some reason even I don’t understand) I don’t think it’s overpriced at all. I’m about to buy a second one so I have a backup just in case I do break it some day and then find out it’s disappeared from the market or that the next generation of these things turn out to be poorly made. UPDATE 2020-09-07: So I managed to destroy one of these things. It died heroically. I fumbled a full 2-quart jar with this handle on it in the kitchen. It was one of those slow-motion moments where I watched it plummet towards the floor but couldn’t catch it in time, and I knew I was about to spend the next 20 minutes cleaning up tea and a million shards of glass. But it landed upside-down, right on top edge of the plastic, which acted as a shock absorber. A 2-inch piece of the plastic broke off the side, but somehow the glass jar did not break and the cap stayed sealed enough that nothing even spilled out! Not bad considering how heavy the full jar was. The cap would not stay on tightly anymore though, so I had to throw it away (except for the silicone seal which I kept as a spare). I replaced it with three new ones, which if I’m careful should be a lifetime supply.”

Customer Review: “On the first time around I bought 3 pitchers, unsure of what I’d be getting and honestly you get what you pay for, its a quality jar and the actual lid isn’t just some cheap plastic, it definitely has handled a few falls. I use it for Pineapple juice, Orange juice, Cranberry juice, Lemonade, any Milk or Milk alternative, Heavy Cream and the list keeps going! I haven’t bought the cold brew kit but I definitely plan to. No leaks, and the spout doesn’t drip or spill any if you pour like a normal person. Pretty big as well, holds enough liquid for maybe a week worth of drinks for one person, if you have a family like me you definitely need to constantly fill up. I like the way it feels when you hold it by the handle, it definitely feels better than just a normal pitcher. Great to take along to the beach or to a picnic. Cleaning is easy, I don’t have a dishwasher but its still easy. Try it and see for yourself!”
