Now that it’s summer, you may have found your coffee drink has switched to its iced counterpart and there’s no shame in that game. There are few people I know who are interested in taking their usual hot cup of joe with them into the 90-plus degree world. If you’re like the rest of us who prefer the refreshing nature of a cold caffeinated drink during the hot summer months that doesn’t mean you have to make your coffee the night before or leave it out to get cold before you add ice to it. And it doesn’t mean you have to forego the time-saving nature of making your coffee at home either.

Instead, you can invest in a compact, but easy-to-use appliance that allows you to make your own cold brew at home—exactly how you like it. Below, you’ll find my 4 favorite at-home cold brew gadgets that you can purchase on Amazon.
