The County Line Kitchen and Bean Envy are neck-and-neck when it comes down to brew quality. They also rank in our tests as two of the better immersion filter cold brew coffee makers. The key difference lies in what kind of design you prefer. 

The Bean Envy is a stylish glass carafe brewer with a unique two-stopper design. One for brewing and a silicone stopper with a better fit for sealing after the filter is removed. The Bean Envy will generally not fit in the door bin of a small refrigerator.

The County Line Kitchen range, on the other hand, comes in 1 and 2-quart sizes which can easily fit in your refrigerator door bin. Alternatively, with their spill-proof screw-on lid you can easily lay the brewer on a shelf after the filter is removed.
