Cold brew coffee tastes smoother and less acidic than the hot-brewed kind, but the traditional method can take up to 24 hours to finish steeping. Brewing method, included accessories and how quickly a device delivers a finished cup can determine whether cold brew becomes a daily habit or a once-in-a-while treat.
Consumer Reports tested four cold-brew makers for taste, convenience and how long they take to produce a cup, so coffee drinkers can find one that fits their morning routine.
