+1 on a "cold brewer" that's just a jar and a filter. Cold brew is the easiest damn thing in the world and it's incredibly delicious. I actually sometimes brew cold brew and then heat it up, just because I like the smooth taste. You also don't have to give any kind of a shit about grind size or consistency since it's getting a 12-hour soak anyway. A lot of my cold brew is just espresso leftovers when I accidentally set the grinder wrong.
However I find that not all coffees taste good as cold brew. Some trial-and-error is needed.
I also find that paper filtering is much easier on my stomach than metal filtering, so I'd encourage it for anyone who has a sensitive stomach and doesn't already use a paper filter. Whatever oils are supposedly bad for my cholesterol, also make me feel like I'm simultaneously digesting myself and being rocketed to space, so IMO those are better off sent to the compost. I even use paper filters for Moka pot and espresso, in the form of circles cut from Chemex filters (courtesy of https://goodbrotherscoffee.com/ https://goodbrotherscoffee.com/).
