How they stack up

KitchenAid 28 oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker

The KitchenAid 28-oz model is smaller and more compact than the 38-oz version, making it ideal for tight spaces, unlike the larger Toddy or OXO Compact systems. It includes a built-in stainless steel tap and fill level indicators, features not found in the OXO or Hario models. However, it lacks the airtight seal of the Ovalware pitcher and doesn't offer the large 45-ounce capacity of the Toddy system.

OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker

The OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker's borosilicate glass carafe and measurement markings distinguish it from the plastic-based OXO Rapid Brewer and KitchenAid models. It offers versatility in brewing both hot and cold coffee, unlike the Hario Mizudashi which is limited to basic brewing. However, it doesn't feature the airtight seal of the Ovalware pitcher or the built-in tap of the KitchenAid models, and it requires manual pumping, unlike the more automated Toddy system.
