A cold brew "maker" is not a complex thing. All you need is coffee grounds sitting in cold water for a day or so. This can be accomplished in multitudinous ways.
We have a gallon jar with a tap at the bottom and a tall 3" diameter mesh filter with a flange to sit under the lid. I had to (food-safe) solder the filter back together after a few years, but it makes a huge stack of strong brew with which we are most pleased.
Yeah. Literally any glass jar will do the job. Add water. Add grounds. Shake. Refrigerate. Run it through a coffee filter or fine seive into another jar. Done.
You do not need a single purpose contraption for this task. This feels like consumerism.
TBF, we have a dedicated setup for this because we like having cold brew available at all times. It's worth a little investment in something permanent if it's going to be in constant use. A metal filter does the job for 90% of the gallon jar, and we pour the bitter dregs through a paper filter at the end of the week.
