Compare the top 3 cold brew coffee makers in Australia 2026

For most people the Hario Mizudashi is the best place to start, because a steep in the fridge glass jug is the cheapest and most foolproof way into cold brew, add coarse grounds to the mesh basket, fill with water, leave it overnight and pour straight from the carafe. Step up to the Takeya if you want a tougher BPA free pitcher that fits a fridge door and carries an enormous happy review base, the OXO Rapid Brewer if you want concentrate in five minutes rather than overnight, or the AeroPress if you want one versatile press that does cold brew, espresso style and hot coffee, noting it is a press you operate rather than a hands off steeper. Pick the OXO Good Grips Compact if you want a tidy maker that drains itself automatically into the carafe and yields a low acid concentrate, though it is concentrate first rather than a ready to drink jug. The standout, though, is the Toddy Cold Brew System: it is the recognised original cold-brew maker, producing a smooth low-acid concentrate that keeps for up to two weeks, even though it asks for a little more setup than a single jug.
