Hot on the heels of its CES 2026 reveal, Ecoldbrew is now gearing up for its official Kickstarter debut. The portable cold brew maker has generated considerable interest since attendees were first introduced to what the company touts as the “world’s first personal automatic cold brew machine.”
In contrast to traditional cold brew that takes a minimum of 12 hours, Ecoldbrew’s engineering team, comprising veterans from Xiaomi, Philips, and De’Longhi, has developed what the company claims to be a “five-minute, portable coffee solution for modern lifestyles.”
The result is a compact unit with a built-in grinder and centrifugal brewing system. It features an adjustable grind dial, flip-up bean compartment, and progress display. The device attaches to its own insulated thermos or compatible Stanley mugs and includes a built-in straw. “Each five-minute cycle produces 12 ounces of cold brew,” the company notes.
Operating Ecoldbrew is simple. All one needs to do is add whole beans, pour in cold water or ice water, hit the button, and five minutes later, enjoy fresh cold brew. The device grinds the beans inside and spins them at 4,000-5,000 RPM in the brewing chamber. Cold water cycles through micro-filters, pulling out flavor without generating much heat. The result tastes like traditional 12-hour cold brew: smooth, easy-drinking, with characteristically low acidity.
The device is the size of a 40-ounce tumbler and works with popular Stanley travel mugs. It’s perfect for commuters, office workers, and outdoor enthusiasts. The rechargeable battery provides up to eight brewing cycles per charge. The Ecoldbrew Kickstarter campaign is now live, with units available for the $99 early-bird price. For anyone who’s ever wanted cold brew without the overnight wait, this might be the device that finally makes it happen.
