A large immersion pitcher with printed ratio scales, the CB40 brews 6 to 7 cups of cold brew or iced tea at a time.

Spec-led review. Built from the manufacturer’s published specification and price rather than hands-on testing. Figures we could not find stated are left blank instead of estimated. Updated when we get one in.

From $32.99Warranty 2 years

The Maestri House CB40 Cold Brew Coffee Maker 40oz is a 40oz Tritan pitcher with a 350-mesh stainless steel filter and ratio scales printed on the pitcher and filter. Maestri House lists it at $32.99, and its own store showed a $29.99 sale price on 2026-11-08.

What is the Maestri House CB40 Cold Brew Coffee Maker 40oz?

It is an immersion cold brew pitcher. You fill the filter with coarse grounds, set it in the pitcher with cold water and leave it to steep in the fridge. Maestri House says the 40oz (1.2L) capacity brews up to 6 to 7 cups of cold brew or iced coffee at once, and describes it as suitable for loose-leaf iced tea too.

The pitcher is BPA-free Tritan, which the maker calls shatter-resistant and heat-resistant. The filter is a 350-mesh ultra-fine stainless steel, aimed at residue-free coffee. Maestri House describes the design as 100% leak-proof and airtight, with a removable powder compartment top cover that keeps grounds from floating. It comes in Green, White and Black, with the Black variant shown as unavailable on 2026-11-08.

Maestri House does not say whether the pitcher or filter is dishwasher safe on the page we read, so check the manual before putting it in a machine. The brand says the kit is complete, and the accessories listed do not include a travel case.

How do the ratio scales and filter work?

The filter is the part most people care about on an immersion brewer. Maestri House gives a 350-mesh stainless steel basket with a removable bottom cover, which the maker says makes cleaning easy. A spout position lets you place the filter at the spout while pouring so it does not spill.

The scales on the pitcher and filter are meant to take the guesswork out of strength. The maker's range is 60g to 120g of grounds to 1200ml of water, which covers a lighter brew at the low end and a more concentrated one at the high end. Maestri House does not state a steep time on the page we read, so follow the manual that comes in the box.

The airtight seal is how the maker says it preserves the flavor and prevents spills. Nobody here has brewed with it, so how well the seal holds is the maker's claim.

Maestri House CB40 Cold Brew Coffee Maker 40oz vs OXO Good Grips Cold Brew 32oz

The OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker 32oz is listed at $59.97. It holds 946 ml, uses a borosilicate glass carafe with a plastic brewing container, and has a brew-release switch that drains the coffee into the carafe. Its filter is a reusable stainless mesh that also supports paper filters, and the mesh is dishwasher safe.

The Maestri House holds 1200 ml, which is about 254 ml more, and costs $26.98 less at list price or $29.98 less at the sale price. The OXO has the drain switch and paper filter option. The Maestri House has more volume, printed ratio scales and a published two year warranty. If you want the cheaper, larger pitcher, the CB40 fits. If you want the release switch, the OXO has it.

Maestri House CB40 Cold Brew Coffee Maker 40oz vs Takeya Deluxe Cold Brew 1qt

The Takeya Deluxe Cold Brew Coffee Maker 1qt is a Tritan pitcher with a permanent fine mesh filter and a patented airtight, leakproof lid that lets it lie on its side. It holds 946 ml and is made in the United States. Takeya's price is not publicly stated on our page, so there is no price gap to quote.

Both are Tritan pitchers with a steel mesh filter. The Maestri House is larger at 1200 ml and adds ratio scales. The Takeya counts the dishwasher as safe and publishes its country of manufacture. Neither claim has been tested here, and both makers call their lids leakproof.

Is the Maestri House CB40 Cold Brew Coffee Maker 40oz worth it?

At $29.99 it is one of the cheaper ways to get a large, sealed cold brew pitcher with a fine steel filter. At the $32.99 regular price the case is still reasonable, and the two year warranty is longer than some rivals state. Sale prices move, so check what the price is on the day you buy.

You are paying for capacity and convenience, not for any proven taste advantage. Nobody tested this brewer, and cold brew quality depends heavily on your coffee, grind and steep time.

Who should buy the Maestri House CB40 Cold Brew Coffee Maker 40oz (and who should not)?

Buy it if you drink cold brew regularly and want a 1.2L batch size, if you like measured ratios, or if you want a plain pitcher with a steel filter and a warranty. It also suits people who want to brew iced tea in the same pitcher.

Skip it if you want a glass pitcher, because this one is plastic. Skip it if you need a brew-release drain switch, which the OXO offers. And skip it if you only want a small single serving, since a 40oz batch is more than one person may drink before the coffee is best used.
