I did some experimenting for a while and eventually settled on the Oxo cold brew system. It's super quick to clean and start a batch. The water amounts are set and they suggest 10oz of grounds which is the size of many pre ground bags. The only factor left is time. I've found that 12 hours suits me. If I want a batch to enjoy with creamer, I'll do 16 hours.
I was making cold brew with that oxo system for some years. Its very low maintenance and easy to do. Only gripe I really have is the narrowing taper on the glass, which means i had quite a lot of near misses almost dropping it. Put a rubber band around the glass for anti-slip and its great.
IIRC I was doing 100g of coffee and 600ml of water for around 20hr steep. Makes a concentrate but I was personally just drinking straight shots of it occasionally ^_^
I have a Toddy cold brew system that I use during the summer. It's pretty simple and it looks like it functions similarly to the Oxo. I agree that 12 hours is a good time.
The only thing I do differently is to get whole bean coffee instead of using preground. I have Cuisinart grinder that works decent enough for me.
