The Bodum is one of our favorite cold brew coffee makers we’ve tested. We loved the freestyle brewing setup where you can manage your own brew ratio, or brew to a preferred technique. Filtering and decanting was swift, effective, and easy, and the lever which opens and closes the spout is a nice feature. The brew quality was excellent, except we were disappointed by the brew’s lack of overall complexity. In terms of design, the brew vessel could offer more in the form of measuring guides, and you may need to provide your own separate decanter.
