AstroBrew quickly gained popularity among coffee enthusiasts after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Aiming to redefine cold brews, AstroBrew Cold Coffee Maker has made its official debut at CES 2026. This at-home appliance is capable of brewing and chilling true cold brew coffee in 20 minutes.
AstroBrew cold coffee maker is a sleek, portable appliance that offers café-quality brews without pods, compressors, or harmful refrigerants. You can enjoy a cup of cold coffee anywhere, anytime. I don’t know about you, but this will be a godsend for me in camping season when the mercury is still high.
The process of cold coffee making at home is complex, involved, and time-consuming. By reducing the time, AstroBrew not only makes the process easier, but its compact design, measuring 4.5 x 13.2 x 10.2 inches, allows it to fit neatly in your bag and go wherever you need it.
Cold brew has always required time, compromise, or waste. AstroBrew changes that. We built a fundamentally new brewing and cooling system that delivers true cold brew flavor, instantly, with dramatically lower energy use – Joseph Damigella, Founder and CEO of AstroBrew.
According to the company’s claims, you can store up to 34 ounces (about 6 cups) of cold brew in the appliance and keep it ice-cold (at 32 degrees Fahrenheit) and fresh for up to a month, and that too without refrigeration or ice. While I like the cold retention and freshness part, consuming a month-old brew may not be such a good idea, no matter how fresh it feels.
As to how it works: AstroBrew doesn’t rely on pods and compressors to make your cup of Joe. It uses regular ground coffee, preferably medium ground. Instead of steeping them overnight, the machine uses a combination of pressure, turbulence, and recirculation to prepare the cold brew within 20 minutes.
AstroBrew features Snowdrop cooling technology, wherein it uses thermoelectric semiconductors to quickly and efficiently transfer heat out of the coffee. With the push of a button, you will get an ice-cold beverage without any ice. That really has won us coffee lovers, as ice would just dilute the brew. The no-pod design also promotes eco-friendly practice by forgoing the contribution to the coffee capsule waste.
The portable design may be bulky for some, but the stainless steel appliance works better and faster than its counterparts, helping this newcomer win against established brands. Its air-tight seal and UV light keep the brew fresh longer, and prevent spills. The metallic tap is a cherry on the cake for this cold coffee maker.
I will be making cold brew, cold espresso, espresso martini, cold Americano, and so much more with AstroBrew. Winner of the 2025 Lavazza Open Innovation Award and Homecrux Best of CES 2026 Innovation Award, AstroBrew is currently available for pre-orders with an exclusive CES discount running through January 20, 2026.
