OXO Good Grips 32 Ounce Cold Brew Coffee Maker
About OXO
Love gave birth to OXO. The original OXO peeler was created by our founder Sam Farber for a pair of hands he cherished more than his own. While Sam and his spouse Betsey were cooking, Betsey’s moderate arthritis made it difficult for her to use the traditional metal peeler. They knew that a better approach had to exist.
They designed the now-iconic OXO handle, which has a sharp stainless steel blade combined with a unique ergonomic form and non-slip grip. When OXO was founded, it completely altered the way we make food and view home appliances.
At OXO, we consider commonplace items and activities and find ways to improve them by making them simpler, easier, and better designed.
We pick up on things. We become aware of trigger points and neck aches. We observe issues that, up until we find solutions, people are unaware even exist. We look for ways to make a product, a procedure, or an aspect of daily life better, and we create items that accomplish this.
Every space in your house is made easier to live with our products. From cleaning and organizing to entertaining, baking, and cooking, to going on regular outings with young children. We create products that are comfortable to hold and use in daily life.
OXO is dedicated to providing innovative consumer products that make everyday living easier.
How do we do it?
We study people – lefties and righties, male and female, young and old – interacting with products and identifying ways to make them better. Our “question everything” process and relentless attention to detail uncover the best solutions for slicing, peeling, whisking, baking, stirring, washing, scrubbing, dusting, storing, and organizing.
INTRODUCTION
The cold-brew process is known for delivering smooth, low-acid coffee. Since the grounds never come in contact with hot water, the result is a less acidic, less bitter flavor. Steeping the grounds in cold water releases only the most aromatic flavors, and the concentrate created from the cold-brew process stays fresh longer than regular coffee.
Our Cold Brew Coffee Maker simplifies the cold brew process with its unique features. For example, the Rainmaker™ ensures water is distributed evenly over coffee grounds, the Brew-Release Switch is easily accessible and allows you to stop and start the draining process, and the stainless steel, ultra-fine mesh filter is removable for easy cleaning.
The Coffee Maker has all the hard work covered – all you have to do is add coffee grounds and water. Once you make the concentrate, you can add ice and water for iced coffee or hot water and milk for hot coffee.
PRODUCT FEATURES
GETTING STARTED
- Flip Brewing Container (B) upside down. Set Mesh Filter (C) in either direction so that it sits flat in the base.
- Screw on Filter Cap (D) until secure.
- Place Brewing Container on Stand (E). The brew-Release Switch on the Stand should be in the up (off) position.
- Add 10 oz/284 g* coarsely ground coffee to Brewing Container. Place Rainmaker™ (A) on top.
*We recommend weighing your coffee, but 10 oz is roughly 3.5 cups.
- Pour 40 oz/1200 ml (5 cups) of water over Rainmaker in a circular motion, to ensure even distribution. If coffee is freshly ground, allow coffee to finish “blooming” (See Note). Remove the Rainmaker and gently stir the grounds. Brew 12-24 hours.
- Once brewing is finished, slide the Glass Carafe (G) underneath the Stand. Press the Brew-Release Switch down to the drain. Draining will take approximately 20 minutes, but could vary based on ground size.
- To enjoy concentration before draining is complete, pull out the Glass Carafe or flip up the Brew-Release Switch to stop the drip. To restart draining, reposition Glass Carate and press down Switch.
- To serve, measure out 2 oz/60 ml (¼ cup) of concentrate using the line on the Stopper (F). Dilute with water, milk, or ice (refer to chart). Use a Stopper to seal the Glass Carafe, and store it in the refrigerator, for up to two weeks.
YIELD: Using 10 oz/284 g of coffee and 40 oz/1200 ml (5 cups) of water, one carafe of concentrate produces roughly 12-14 beverages.
USE & CARE
The glass carafe is dishwasher safe Hand wash all other parts Note: If you remove the gasket in the Filter Cap (D) to clean, ensure the gasket is not twisted when reassembled to prevent leaking.

TIPS FOR ENJOYING YOUR COLD BREW
Making Your Coffee Concentrate
Acidity
Many variables contribute to the acidity level of coffee – including where the bean is grown, how it is harvested, and how it is roasted; however, the same coffee bean cold brewed produces a coffee with much less acidity than if it were brewed with hot water. Cold water simply extracts less acid from the bean.
- Roast
We’ve noticed that lighter roasts bring out some nice fruity flavors inherent within the beans, but any roast will do. We encourage you to experiment to figure out which you like best. - Grind Size
Medium to coarse ground coffee works best with the OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker. Look for the “Automatic Drip” or “French Press” setting on grinders. - Recipe
We recommend a 1:4 coffee-to-water ratio. 10 oz/284 g of coffee* to 40 oz/1200 ml (5 cups) of water fits perfectly in the OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker. Adjusting this ratio will result in a stronger or weaker concentration, which you may prefer. *We recommend weighing your coffee since volume can vary depending on grind size, roast, etc. If you don’t have a scale, 10 oz/284 g of coffee is roughly 3.5 cups. - Brew Time
Think of cold brewing coffee as replacing heat with time. To fully extract flavors, coffee should steep for 12-24 hours (or overnight). Good things come to those who wait! - Filtration Time
Using coarse-ground coffee, filtration can take around 20 minutes. A finer ground will filter much more slowly. For instance, an espresso grind may take as long as 45 minutes to an hour to filter.
Making Your Coffee Beverage
- Servings
We recommend a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio of coffee concentrate to water or milk. For example, if you measure out 2 oz/60 ml of concentrate using the line on the Stopper, you would dilute it with 4-6 oz/120-180 ml of water or milk. Keep in mind that adding ice will further dilute your beverage. Our 10 oz/284 g coffee recipe yields about 12-14 beverages. - Hot Coffee
If you prefer your coffee hot, simply add 4-6 oz/120-180 ml of hot water or milk to your 2 oz/60 ml of concentrate. - Sweet Cold Brew
Granulated sugar is difficult to dissolve in a cold beverage; to sweeten your drink, we recommend simple syrup. To make, simply dissolve 1 part sugar in 1 part hot water. - Good Tip
Try making New Orleans-style cold brew by adding roasted chicory to your grounds as they brew, or try other infusions, including using cinnamon, clove, or orange peels. Since the cold brew concentrate packs a lot of flavor, it is also ideal for recipes, such as brownies and coffee-flavored ice cream. For more ideas and recipes, check out www.oxo.com.
Making Your Tea Concentrate
- Recipe
Teas come in many varieties, from white to green to black, herbal, rooibos, bagged, and loose leaf. As a jumping-off point, we recommend trying 16 g of loose-leaf tea, or 8 tea bags, with 32 oz/950 ml cold water. The weight of the tea will vary by type, so if you lack a scale, try using 1-2 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea per cup of water. Keep in mind the capacity of our Glass Carafe when sealed is 32 oz/4 cups, so be careful not to overflow. The intensity and flavor of the concentrate will ultimately depend upon the kind of tea, the ratio of tea leaves to water, and brew time. We advise you to experiment to discover your perfect beverage! - Tea Type
You can use any tea you normally prefer drinking! We only advise against finely ground or powdered teas, like matcha, which may inhibit filtration. Bagged vs. Loose Leaf Both bagged and loose leaf teas work. Tea bags often contain finer leaf particles than loose-leaf teas. Keep in mind that particle size, as well as type of tea, are factors that influence extraction rate and flavor. - Brew Time
We recommend cold brewing your tea between 5-12 hours. Shorter brew times will more likely produce a weaker tea, which you can drink straight or over ice. Longer brew times may cause your tea to become more concentrated; however, be aware, that some kinds of tea leaves, like green tea, can become bitter if left to brew too long. - To Serve
Depending on the strength, you may want to dilute your tea with water, milk, or ice.
