How we picked these products
To find the best at-home cold brew coffee makers, we consulted our friends at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Their team of on-staff experts—which includes all types: engineers! data analysts! registered dietitians!—rigorously put everyday products to the test (and then more and more tests) in their New York City-based labs to determine which ones you can trust. For these cold brew coffee makers, they tested performance, design, yield, taste of cold brew, leftover sediment, ease of use and assembly, and even filtration options. Based on their findings, we identified the makers that will have you asking “Where have you bean all my life?!”
