Overall Verdict
The Hario Mizudashi and County Line Kitchen cold coffee brewers are both a good fit for any refrigerator door. However, the Hario is not a brewer we recommend. Despite its attractive and slender appearance, it fails to produce a worthwhile cold brew coffee. The reasons being the filter is too short, the carafe not airtight, and the brew ratio unfavorable.
County Line Kitchen mason jar cold coffee makers are our best recommended small-sized brewers to fit in a refrigerator door or on a shelf. The brew quality is comparable to our top picks for an immersion filter brewer.
County Line Kitchen brewers come in small 1-quart and larger 2-quart sizes. The filter is made of a stainless steel mesh and the plastic screw-on lid has a flip cap for pouring. Once the filter is removed, you can even store the jar on its side. You also have the choice of a plastic lid with or without a handle, or a standard mason jar aluminum lid.
