If on-ice is your go-to caffeine fix that powers your mornings, then it is only natural to want the best chilly taste for your Java. And while you can add ice on pretty much any brew and enjoy it cold, real coffee enthusiasts know the difference between proper iced coffee and plain coffee on ice.
To take pleasure in every sip, a proper iced coffee maker is more than needed. Here are the best ones on the market today.
Glass and stainless-steel clash their forces in our best choice on this list, but quality and durability are not the only reason why Ovalware wears the crown.
The thing we liked most about this iced coffee maker is its airtight seal that locks freshness and aroma inside, making them last for as long as you’re willing to sip. Thanks to this BPA-free silicone seal, the leak-proof lid will keep your coffee as crisp as the minute it was brewed for up to 2 weeks.
This maker features a rubber base for non-slip using, and its dishwasher-safe body makes it even more appealing.
With 34 ounces of capacity and a perfect fridge-shelf height, could you possibly need more?
If you enjoy the convenience that Keurig coffee makers allow, then you will definitely appreciate this model that features an iced-coffee option. Thanks to its under-minute brewing time, there is really no quicker way for you to sip on a fresh and cold brew.
With the ability to customize the intensity of the brew and adjust the cup size (4-12 ounces), this Keurig model is a match for every coffee drinker.
But that’s not all! The large water reservoir holds a whopping 75 ounces (brew 8 cups before refilling), and it will also work as a hot-water dispenser.
If value is what you are searching for, then this manual coffee maker brings heaps of it. With a non-slip silicone handle, BPA-free Tritan body, a fine-mesh coffee filter, and an airtight lid, brewing with this pitcher is an effortless process.
The pitcher is also safe to be washed on the top dishwasher rack (perfect for us lazy coffee addicts!) and fits in most refrigerator doors.
The leak-proof, no-slip pouring is what makes this maker stand out from others in its category, and makes it our best value choice.
An airtight coffee maker with a capacity of 32 ounces, this Kungroo model makes a smooth, rich, low-acidic, and super enjoyable cup of Joe. It is made entirely of pure borosilicate glass, featuring a stainless-steel mesh filter. With that in mind, you can rest assured that no odd flavor or aroma will get to your brew.
Leakproof, dishwasher-safe, and super user-friendly, it is hard not to love Kungroo. Plus, it fits perfectly into most doors and shelves, which makes it a good fit even for the tiny kitchen.
If you’re looking for something that can brew your coffee, keep it fresh for a long time in the fridge, and also serve it without making a mess, well, Primula has it all. Both perfect for a cold brew and iced coffee, this glass pitcher is something every kitchen should have.
The special lid seals the freshness in, so you can enjoy your rich and aromatic Java for a couple of weeks. A smooth and dripless pour, a non-slip base, and a mesh filter that doesn’t allow grounds to escape are some of its best features.
Plus, it is dishwasher-safe, so clean up is not a hassle.
Engineered to reward with the best taste, fit perfectly into most doors, and provide easy handling, BTaT offers incredible craftsmanship that you can rely on.

The removable stainless-steel filter allows even the tiniest grinds from escaping the mesh, which makes it perfect for both coffee and tea.
The wide-mouth allows easy clean-up, but it is also dishwasher safe, so hassle will never be at the bottom of your cup.
Semko doesn’t really fall behind from the previous models. High-quality construction made of borosilicate glass, a stainless-steel coffee filter, an airtight lid that preserves the fresh taste for a long time, and an easy-access handle are also features of this brewer.
Its cone shape, however, gives it a really sleek look. Although I doubt it will be sitting empty, you can also use this pitcher for serving iced tea, lemonade, or any other cold drink.
The best thing about it? The piece of mind that its lifetime warranty gives.
As unique as it can get, this mason jar coffee maker will make one killer cold cuppa. Heavy-duty, durable, and incredibly convenient, there are a lot of reasons why we love this maker.
First, there is an airtight seal that holds your brew fresh for a couple of weeks. Second, it is a jar – which is basically indestructible. And third, and most importantly, you can just remove the filter and the lid, pop a straw in. and drink straight from the jar.
This all-in-one coffee maker is the definition of grab-n-go coffee.
There is practically nothing that this Ninja cannot make. From hot coffee, iced coffee, cold brew, tea, there are tons of options available with this coffee maker.
Six brew sizes and five brewing styles, you can easily choose how long and strong you want your cuppa to be. You can choose to fill the carafe, brew directly in your cup, over ice, or however you want.
The biggest feature is by far its fold-away frother that brings specialty drinks within your reach.
Just like its sibling, the Primula Pace, this Burke model also brews up to 51 ounces (little over 6 cups). It features an airtight lid and is made of the same high-quality materials – borosilicate glass and removable stainless-steel coffee filter.
The only difference is in the way in which they are made. Burke is just a little bit more compact, and it is also encased in plastic. That means the glass is less likely to shatter (if you were to accidentally knock it against the fridge, for instance). This extra security feature is a definite plus.
To cool off your hot days and give you the pleasantly cold Java mouthfeel you’re addicted to, this iced beverage maker is here to serve. Perfect for both iced coffee and iced tea, you can make a huge batch of your favorite brew with this amazing appliance.
Featuring a strength selector for your desired intensity, a reusable filter basket, and a pitcher that can be used in three different positions, this Brentwood model definitely has a lot to offer.
With its 64-ounce pitcher, simple on/off button, and easy operation, this maker is a great fit for anyone.
Although they are both enjoyed cold, mostly with ice, iced coffee and cold brew are two very different Java drinks.
Iced Coffee is a hot brew served over ice. There are debates over just when the brewed liquid and ice join forces, but one thing is certain – for the ultimate taste, the hot Java should be chilled as quickly as possible. This is best achieved when brewing directly over ice, which is what an iced coffee maker should do. The key is also in how you’re pouring the coffee. Do it too quickly, and you’ll melt the ice and dilute the flavor. Iced coffee tastes best when coffee comes in contact with ice slowly, drop by drop.
Cold Brew, on the other hand, is an entirely different thing. The method of preparation here is ridiculously simple – you just steep coffee grounds in cold water (either by an immediate or slow immersion). The catch is in how long it takes for the extraction to take place, which is usually between 12 and 24 hours. We agree that it sounds a bit exaggerating, but the wait is definitely worth it.
To sum it up, iced coffee is a hot brew (the hotter, the better) that is slowly poured over ice and chilled that way. So basically, it is cooled coffee. Cold brew is the long extraction process that takes place after steeping ground coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours.
While coffee, in general, has many good things to contribute to your health – when consumed in moderation, obviously – cold brew and iced coffee are actually healthier. And here is why:
The problem that some people have with iced coffee is the diluted taste. Regardless of how slowly you pour, that ice will eventually melt and, well, turn into water. And when water and coffee combine, you end up with a watery cuppa and a diluted, bland taste. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
There is a Japanese flash-brewing method that has been gaining recognition in the coffee world. This method uses the same amount of ice (as you would normally use), but takes into consideration the water content of that ice after melting. Now, subtract that from the water you need to brew your hot coffee, and you have a much more intense and concentrated hot brew that, after getting mixed with the melted ice, will become your regular cuppa. Pretty genius, right?
Now that you have all you need to make a killer iced coffee – the right coffee maker and the perfect recipe – the next step is to brew yourself a cuppa and cool off your palate with a flavorful and deeply-aromatic brew. Nothing beats a chilled coffee drink on a hot summer afternoon, don’t you agree?
