Cold brew coffee makers worth your time

Cold brew ice coffee

Not everyone wants a hot, steaming cup of joe first thing in the morning. Sure, many people might gravitate to something that warms the soul as much as it does the body, but some people want to stick with what they've come to know and love over the last few years: Cold brew coffee. This smoother and equally delicious version of java is good any time of the year.

Cold brew coffee is also shockingly easy to make at home — some might say even simpler than making hot brews, which are very easy to over or under-extract — provided that you have a good cold brew coffee maker. It will save you a lot of money, too, as it will minimize your trips to your local coffee shop. If your taste for cold brew has evolved beyond exchanging cold water for hot in your trusty French press, then read on: These are the best cold brew coffee makers to up your home barista game.

While coffee has a great flavor that fits well in deserts, baking, and cocktails, it isn't always the easiest ingredient to use to mix drinks. You get your classic hot coffee drinks like the Irish Coffee, but when you want a cold drink then using hot coffee can be awkward. Firstly, you need to chill it down or it'll melt all your ice too fast and make the drink watery, and secondly, coffee which tastes great when it's hot can taste bitter or flat once it's cooled down.

That's why I like to use cold brew coffee for mixing cocktails. You can easily prepare this ahead of time yourself -- just make sure to brew your coffee stronger than you usually would so that it can stand up to strong liquors (you can always add water if you want to drink it on its own). But another option is to use a coffee liqueur like Mr Black. It's a vodka-based liqueur made with real coffee, and it is most often seen in the espresso martini.

A rum rested in cold brew casks to impart delicious flavors of coffee

Santa Teresa Arabica Coffee Cask Finish marries the classic flavors of rum and coffee

Coffee and rum is a classic combination -- used in everything from a spiced rum coffee to a rum espresso martini -- and now a new limited edition rum is being released which incorporates the flavors of coffee via cask finishing. Rather than adding coffee flavors to a rum after it has been finished, which typically results in a very sweet spirit, the Santa Teresa Arabica Coffee Cask Finish is finished in casks which have previously held cold brew coffee.

The brand Santa Teresa 1796, the oldest rum producer in Venezuela, is known for its high quality rums which have a very low sugar content, making them more of a fine sipper like a quality whiskey than like the typically sweet spiced rums you often find on shelves. To add the flavors of coffee, the brand's popular Santa Teresa 1796 Solera rum spends an extra three months being finished in American white oak casks. These casks were previously used to a age a rum-based cold brew coffee, so leaving the rum to finish inside them melds the flavors to something special.
