This is the one that we bought. Not too expensive, very worth it.
I bought a $20 pitcher on Amazon and make cold brew at home. Prep it the night before, put it in the fridge, and you’re good to go in the morning. Linked to Amazon below.

This is good advice, but I think it’s one sided. I worked in a coffee shop for years and also sold coffee professionally. I make my cold brew at home using this cold brew maker. I love the hard plastic, airtight lid to keep out fridge odors, and simple design. I drink cold brew daily and this pitcher will last about 5 days. Since it’s plastic I don’t worry about it breaking. It’s also very clean to use.
The main difference from using a cloth or mesh sieve and a bowl is the work and mess. I have found no taste difference between a coffee shop and home brewed. Cold brew is a very basic process.
Talk with your brother to see if he just wants something simple or if he’s trying to get into the art of cold brew and show off to his friends. A simple cold brew pitcher is easy to use and doesn’t take up counter space.
I also agree a bag of coffee from a local coffee roaster is a good idea. Ask them for a recommendation and type of grind.
Nothing glamorous but this brews cold coffee and is easy.
She might want to take an extra step at the end and filter through a paper filter to catch smaller grains. But overall a good easy product to use.

There a lot of more expensive options out on the market, just depends on what you are looking for in a brewer.
