Why we love it
Most cold brew makers are a jar with a filter in it. This one solves the two things that actually go wrong: the rainmaker top wets the bed of grounds evenly instead of channelling straight down the middle, and a brew-release switch lets you drain on your schedule rather than the moment you remember. It cuts off automatically when you lift the carafe, so you don't over-extract by leaving it draining. The concentrate keeps in the glass carafe in the fridge.
Pros
- Rainmaker lid saturates the bed evenly instead of channelling
- Brew-release switch with automatic cut-off when the carafe is lifted
- Borosilicate glass carafe with measurement markings
- Reusable stainless mesh filter, no paper
- Comes apart for cleaning and nests for storage
Cons
- More parts than a jar-and-filter maker
- The brewing vessel and lid are plastic, only the carafe is glass
- Takes up more fridge and cupboard space than a single pitcher
- Concentrate yield means you're diluting to serve, not pouring neat
