If you're looking for a gift to give a cold brew lover, the Vinci Express Electric Coffee Maker and the Dorothy™ Electric Rapid Cold Brewer are your best options.
Let's look at these two products in better detail to help you understand why:
Vinci Express Electric Coffee Maker
In my opinion, this has to be one of the sleekest coffee makers available.
Aside from the fact that it can make you a cup of cold brew in just five minutes, it also comes with an attractive, minimalist design that's lovely to the eye.
However, more importantly, it can produce a smooth and delicious brew that rivals the coffee you get at a good café.
It utilizes patented technology that enables brewing in just a few minutes, which would typically take 24 hours or more.
- Cold Brew Coffee Just Got Faster! The Vinci Express Cold Brew Coffee Maker allows you to make homemade cold brew coffee in just minutes instead of waiting the traditional 12-24 hours.
Plus, you won't have to sip around the sediments that usually grace the bottom of your coffee with this machine; all you get is a pure, delicious cold brew.
Additionally, it costs less than $100, making it a great deal!
So, if your friend is always in a rush, but you want to ensure they're ready with a cup of good coffee every morning, this is a great gift idea.
They can use it to brew at home and even on the go!
Presto Dorothy™ Electric Rapid Cold Brewer
Like the Vinci Express, this coffee maker ensures you have a cup of delicious cold brew right when you want it.
However, unlike the Vinci Express, it's an electric coffee maker that guarantees you taste no unpleasant bitterness because it won't expose your beans to high heat.
- Make smooth, flavorful cold brew coffee at home in just 15 minutes. No more waiting 12 to 24 hours.
- Rapid cold brew technology spins coffee grounds through water “tornado” to make cold brew fast.
So, you get a smooth, sweet brew that tastes like the ones brewed for up to 24 hours, all without the long wait.
Additionally, it's compact, lightweight, yet durable, allowing you to use it at home or take it with you to the office.
Most affordable: Bonsenkitchen Infuser and Bodum Cold Brewer
If you have a tight budget but want to get something sure to excite your coffee-loving friend, you absolutely can!
These gift ideas cost less than $20, and they are sure to please in the performance department. Let's look at these two options in more detail.
Bonsenkitchen Coffee Infuser
This infuser should be a staple in every coffee-loving home.
You can use it not just to make a huge batch (1 liter) of cold brew that stays fresh and delicious, but you can also use it to make tea when you want a lighter caffeine dose.
So, if your friend likes both cold brew and tea, this is a great option.
- Easy to Use: Simply add coffee, steep overnight and drink, the airtight lid helps ice coffee maintain freshness and flavor in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Also, it's dishwasher-safe, making it easy to clean, and it's highly resistant to corrosion. You don't have to worry even if you forget to wash it for a few days.
Moreover, it's BPA-free, which is essential for products used for overnight steeping.
Take note, though, that this is best received as a gift if the person you're gifting it to has the patience for a steep time commitment of 12 to 24 hours.
Bodum Cold Brew Coffee Maker
This elegant piece comes in a classic French press design, is compact, comfortable to carry to work or a weekend picnic, and easy to use.

- Includes two lids: One for the fridge overnight, and one with a plunger to press down the coffee grounds in the morning
- 51 Oz. Capacity.
What's unique about this coffee maker is that it has two lids, one to make sure that your coffee steeps nicely in the fridge (no air coming in or out), and another one with which you can press the coffee grounds down right before you pour yourself a cup.
This way, you get a full-bodied brew without the annoying sediments.
