Ovalware vs Goodful Side-by-Side Comparison

By ·Updated
Ovalware vs Goodful: A Difference in Size and Brew Quality

Overall Verdict

The Ovalware is rated as one of the top immersion cold brew coffee makers we have tested. The glass carafe’s narrow neck and wide base are matched to a stainless steel filter. The stylish-looking brewer has a stainless steel stopper, but the wide base isn’t a fit for all refrigerator door bins. 

The Goodful brews a much larger quantity and its long, slender design makes it suitable for most types of refrigerator door bins. The plastic material, however, is not the best quality and the screw-off lid is a bit clunky. If you want an in-door brewer with a large brew quantity our best recommendation is the Takeya, both for design and brew quality.
