10 Best Vinci Cold Brew Coffee Makers for 2026 – Expert Quality Reviews

Customer Review: “This works great for me. I like the idea of the central filter. Not sure that’s necessary but it does work well. Simple and easy to use design. I make decaf concentrate because it’s hard to find ready made. I get a high quality, medium-course ground bean. I found soaking around 20 hours gives me the level of flavor I want and not bitter (though quality of beans makes a difference here). I remove the filter core and leave the concentrate in the pitcher and refrigerate. It is less expensive than buying concentrate or coffee shop drink (if you can even find decaf coldbrew) but I wouldn’t say it’s cheap either. The amount of grounds you have to use is more than typical brewing. The amount of concentrate you use will depend on your preference and type of beverage so determining value or cost effectiveness is subjective. I found that making 1 pitcher a week during the summer was just the right amount to treat myself. The pitcher is not big and yet almost too tall for the bottom shelf and doesn’t fit in the door pockets of my fridge. If it was a little shorter and slightly bigger around would be better. I usually just rinsed everything well between brews. The filter is trickier to clean because of its shape but not terrible. I found that if I knock most of the used grounds out and let the remaining dry out it’s a little easier to manage. The filter hasn’t become clogged so far but vinegar and warm soapy water would probably be sufficient. Time will tell if the plastic parts all hold up. The pitcher is that rigid style with no flexibility so could be prone to cracking. I recommend this if you enjoy coldbrew, don’t want to leave home to get it, and want a simple way to soak the grounds. Cheers!”

Customer Review: “This cold brew pitcher set will brew about a quart (4 cups) of cold brewed coffee, which is loosely similar to making coffee with a French press to make coffee, but instead of using freshly boiled water to extract regular strength coffee from the ground beans in 3-5 minutes, this set produces a strong concentrated coffee over 12-24 hours (depending on how strong a concentrate you want) using room temperature water to slowly extract the coffee from the ground beans. Both methods use coarse to regular ground coffee and it’s highly recommended you use filtered water for both methods because like the quality of the beans and skill of the roasters, it greatly affects the taste of the resulting coffee. The main draw of cold brewed coffee is the smooth flavor the process produces. Even those who seem to only tolerate coffee as a means to wake up or gain extra energy or endurance, For those who drink coffee as a base for other flavors, like vanilla, caramel, etc, tend to love unadorned cold brew. If you like coffee but wish it had a smoother taste, cold brew will likely be the answer. Everything about cold brewed coffee seems to be designed for the utmost convenience: It doesn’t require electricity, so it can be used when traveling or camping, it produces a rich, smooth coffee concentrate that is intended to store in the fridge for several days or a thermos for several hours, and the process uses room temperature water, so there’s no need to have a way to boil water. This particular set is compact, with all of the hardware you need to make and drink your coffee, including a reusable filtering system to produce the strongest, purest coffee. The set includes the pitcher, a tight fitting lid, a coffee scoop, a cup to hold the dripping filter after the brewing is complete, a filter in the form of a slim cylinder that locks into the lid so that it sits in the center of the pitcher. The filter has a top that fits flush into the top of it. You make a full pitcher of the cold brew by pouring about 4 cups of room temperature, filtered water into the pitcher (there is a maximum fill line printed on the pitcher). Pour 9 scoops of coarse to medium ground coffee into the filter (the scoop holds 2 tablespoons, so 9 scoops is 1&1/8 cups of coffee.), insert the filter top (which is also a filter), and then attach the filter to the underside of the lid. This ensures that it stays stationary in the pitcher when it’s full of water. Insert the filter into the pitcher full of water, orienting it so the spout lines up. Set the pitcher out at room temperature for 12-24 hours, depending on how strong you want it to be. I like very strong coffee because I like to make iced lattes, which means diluting the coffee with milk, a little cream, and a flavored syrup. I experimented with leaving the cold brew on the counter for 36 hours and it was too strong, even for my milkiest lattes. I decant my cold brew into large thermoses so I can constantly have the cold brew on hand. This already promises to be a hot spring and summer, so this pitcher will get a lot of use. I always hand washed everything after I decant the new batch of brew simply because it only takes minutes. However, I believe it’s all dishwasher safe though I’d put the filter on the top rack. I have two more suggestions: investigate local coffee roasters. The absolute best coffee I’ve ever had is from a local brewer. My favorite independent coffee house sells it. It’s a bit pricier than the premium coffees in grocery stores but this is one thing I refuse to go low quality on. I’d rather drink less coffee than pay good money for subpar coffee, Fun fact: The coffee from France is some of the WORST in the world! It’s always been believed to be some of the best, even having a type of roast named after it but this fallacy is likely the result of actual fiction, namely literature and movies. A French prime minister famously said French coffee was donkey pi**! Allegedly, the reason a notoriously proud people put up with such a disgrace is, again allegedly, because the national industry is controlled by a mafia group that no one dares to challenge. Some believe the government is equally afraid of this group while others believe they’re simply well paid to look the other way. Sadly as an American, I can see either reason being equally true. The French citizens usually get their coffee from neighboring Italy or have it shipped in from Africa. Speaking of Italy, if you don’t have a local roaster, try Illy from Italy. Totally worth it. You can get it in most stores now. Some swear by the in store Dunkin Donuts brand of coffee. Second tip: Make/decant your own flavored syrups. Save your wine bottles, make simple syrup, and then add the extract of your choice: vanilla, almond, coconut, rum, then decant (you can purchase packages of pouring spouts online or find them in kitchen stores. You can even make a liquid caramel to use as a syrup. You can find the techniques for everything online. They’re all dead simple! Cheers!”

Customer Review: “Been meaning to post this sooner, but I got too busy using and loving it. I love cold brew coffee and have always been willing to do the 12-24 hour preparation. When I saw this, claiming to make a legitimate, quality cold brew coffee in 20 minutes or so, I was at best doubtful. Considering how much I’d spent on other systems, along with their required accessories, and the extreme amount of money at that coffee place with Siren, not Mermaid, on its cups. What did I have to lose? Turns out, I get to lose those trips to that place and make my own coffee at home. This machine is amazing and makes some of the best cold brew I’ve tasted and does it in 20 minutes. Another feature I love, although it adds 12-24 hours, is to prepare a batch on the Extreme setting. 25 minutes to brew and then into the refrigerator. Probably what I love the most is I can use any of my coffees (I’ll go from regular to different flavors – like peppermint mocha year round) and can make a pot of it cold. I’ve tried similar competing devices, but keep coming back to Vinci.”

Customer Review: “Not only is this the best cold brew product I have ever purchased, the customer service exceeded my expectations. Bought as a Christmas gift, used once, and the product malfunctioned. Without hesitation, they got back to my message in a day and sent me a new one!”

Customer Review: “I’ve had and used several times a week for 4.5 years. This is just an outstanding little set up. Easy to use and easy to clean (as long as you don’t let the coffee grinds dry in the filter). Really durable, great buy that makes excellent cold brew.”

Customer Review: “So I love tea, but I hate being warm. I’ve had a bunch of loose leaf tea just sitting in my cupboard throughout Summer because I didn’t want to drink something warm when it was already too hot in our house. From the first time I used this it immediately became a ‘why didn’t I buy this sooner?’ kind of thing. Now I always have tea either steeping or ready to drink. I’ve used it with both green and black teas, which have both been fantastic. Going to try a herbal chai tea next. The tea tastes perfect, exactly as it does with a perfectly steeped hot tea, but with cold brewing it somehow doesn’t get bitter when you leave the tea in too long, it stays perfect, so it’s even easier than brewing hot. And I get four large cups out of this, instead of 2 with my kettle. Went with Takeya specifically because I use one of their metal insulated water bottles daily, and love it. Same quality here. I kinda wish it was glass instead of plastic, but at least if I drop this it isn’t going to shatter on my feet. Drawbacks? If I’m being hyper-nitpicky, the way that the filter threads into the lid is kinda tricky. I usually have to try two or three times to get the threads lined up right. Can’t recommend this enough. One of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon in a long time.”

Customer Review: “Great size and sturdy glass. The stainless steel filter works well and the lid seals tightly. Makes a smooth cold brew every time. Easy to clean and looks great on the counter.”

Customer Review: “I love the mason jar look and the large capacity. The filter keeps grounds out of the coffee well. The lid is leak-proof, which is great for storing in the fridge. Highly recommend for anyone who likes big batches of cold brew.”

Customer Review: “First off, I’m not a daily coffee drinker, more like a once or twice a week after dinner coffee drinker, I drink it for the flavor more than a ‘have to’ kind of thing. That being said, I need to have great tasting coffee. I have quite the collection of different coffee making apparatuses, from simple stainless steel pour overs (surprisingly tasty coffee comes from those), to French presses, a couple of different cold brew devices, a couple of different Moka pots, and an AeroPress. I also tend to grind my own beans. I love making coffee in each of these coffee making devices, but at this time, my absolute favorite is the Oxo Rapid Brewer. I find it makes pretty good coffee, and the ease of use and cleanup afterward is also a major perk. Even though I really enjoy coffee in all of my other coffee devices, I have been known to want a cup of coffee but chose to not make it only because of the fact that it was either going to take too much time/effort to get it set up and/or the cleanup afterward. Enter the Oxo Rapid brewer. I love the fact that it can make hot or cold brew, and the cold brew takes only a few more minutes than the hot. I have been experimenting with adding a dash of cinnamon to the coffee bed before tamping, I’m going to try cocoa powder next. One thing I do that is a bit extra, since I have an AeroPress, I have lots of those paper filters for it, I do use one in my Oxo Rapid brewer, only to make it easier to clean out and it helps keep the metal filter from getting clogged. I don’t know for a fact that it will get clogged, I’m only going by past experience with stainless steel pour over devices, they have a very fine metal filter and eventually the very fine coffee grounds do slow the coffee from going through. I am doing this in a preemptive manner. I also reuse the paper filter a few times, I did that with the AeroPress (don’t judge) and it works just fine, I rinse it and reuse it a few times with no issues. If I remember correctly, the maker of the AeroPress said in an experiment to see how many uses he could get from one, he got 100 uses out of 1 paper filter, I wouldn’t go that far, but I see nothing wrong with reusing it a few times. Back to the regularly scheduled program, I find that the Oxo Rapid brewer works great for me, it makes tasty coffee, it’s easy to use, easy to learn, easy to clean. It makes a concentrate which I use for a larger cup of coffee, I like to add either half and half or milk, some water and a bit of maple syrup for sweetness. I have found it makes just the right amount for me, but if need be I could share or since it brews so quickly, I could easily make 2 batches back to back. It doesn’t leak, it makes more than enough for me, the unit feels sturdy, I’m not concerned about dropping it. Cleaning it is a breeze, I just knock out the coffee grounds, rescuing the paper filter, I rinse everything and let it dry in my dish drain. It is super stealthy too, no worries about disturbing anyone if I decide I want a quick cupper in the middle of the night. My only ‘issue’ is I purchased a few bottles of coffee concentrate just before ordering this, it’s hard to decide which I want to use, I am going to have to make myself use up my coffee concentrate (I don’t want to waste them, they are good too). I am enjoying using this method to make my own coffee concentrate, maybe I’ll hang on to one of the empty bottles and refill it with the brewed coffee concentrate. If you are on the fence about buying this, don’t be, it’s worth it, the price is right and the method is fun and makes a tasty brew.”

Customer Review: “We have an expensive coffee and espresso maker. However, for flavor and for mouth-feel, the little OXO makes better coffee. The process is straightforward, and it doesn’t require precise proportions of coffee to water to make great coffee. Small and light-weight, it cleans up easily. Would I buy it again? Yes. Reasonably priced? Yes – actually, its price is so reasonable, I doubted that it could be this good. I’ve used it for months, including camping, and it looks like new. This beats my AeroPress in so many ways.”

Customer Review: “I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I felt like this product deserved one. This is an excellent cold brew maker. It is very easy to use and has a great 1,200 mL capacity. The plastic construction is more versatile (less fragile) than other brewers made from glass. The filtration system eliminates the sludge that other brew systems leave. The packaging is very thoughtful – a scoop and sponge are included. The scoop is easily overlooked, but it is the perfect size to clean the used grounds out of the filter. The sponge is an unexpectedly useful form factor to help with cleaning. Hopefully the sponges can be ordered separately, since sponges don’t last forever. Some minor downsides: Cleaning is moderately easy, but the only component that is recommended for the dishwasher is the pitcher (which is also easiest to clean by hand). All of the other elements are recommended for hand washing, which doesn’t take long. The way the filter is configured, the pitcher will work most effectively if stored (at least for part of the brew cycle) on its side. However, there is a vent in the lid that is prone to leaking when the pitcher is stored on its side. Brewing upright can lead to the top grounds not getting exposed to water. Unfortunately, one of the pieces broke during routine use after a couple of months: the pitcher lid is attached with a couple of hinges that snap the lid into place on the pitcher. One of the hinge attachments broke. I contacted customer service and a replacement pitcher arrived four days later. I’d recommend being careful with these hinge attachments as they seem prone to break. At the same time, the customer service is very responsive and suggests that they take support of their products seriously.”

Customer Review: “I’ve tried making cold brew a couple different ways, most recently with Ball jars and a metal filter. This Maestri brewer does a better job than other methods I’ve tried. No coffee ground sludge in the bottom, easy to clean grounds out of the filter, and easy to pour liquid out of the pitcher without removing the filter / grounds. The brew is pretty strong and tastes great. I have found that sometimes air gets trapped in the pitcher when I’m filling it, and that can effect the brewing slightly. When this happens, the coffee grounds don’t seem to get fully saturated right away, so the brewing time takes longer. 24 hours of brew time seems to be the sweet spot for my taste preference, which is strong.”

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: “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 it. 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 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….”
