On the hottest days of the year, there are few things as satisfying as a smooth cold brew over ice, delivering that much-needed caffeine hit without adding extra heat to your kitchen.
As the seasons shift and we slowly head toward fall, there is no need to retire the ritual just yet. With the right cold-brew coffee maker on your counter, you can keep the iced coffee season going well into October, even in a small kitchen.
The OXO Brew Compact Coffee Maker, available at Amazon, is the perfect pick for compact spaces. Its slim, countertop-friendly design delivers cafe-quality cold brew overnight without taking over your precious prep area.
Setting up a coffee station in a small kitchen is never an easy feat, especially with a cold brew maker that needs to sit undisturbed for several hours for the perfect extraction. We tried the full-sized OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker, reviewed by our Expert Barista Laura Honey, and fell in love. This smaller, compact version makes the same fabulous coffee without taking up as much counter space.
Measuring just 5.1"D x 5.1"W x 10.75"H, it is one of the best coffee makers for smaller spaces, fitting neatly in a corner and keeping counters clear for food prep and the bustle of the day.

'You need to leave the Good Grips on the countertop for 12 to 24 hours. This is why it's important that your cold brew coffee maker looks good,' Laura wrote. 'It will be in your kitchen for a whole day. This is the smartest-looking cold brew tested that I've tested, so I'd happily have it on the countertop.'
It is the perfect solution for anyone not quite ready to give up iced coffee season. Compact enough for small counters and stylish enough to leave on display, it makes it easy to keep cold brew in your daily routine long after the temperatures begin to drop.
