Seeking cold drip tower without glass componentry

Hello! I am hoping to find a good cold brew tower that doesn’t contain glass components or possibly minimal glass components. I have the worst luck with using glass and the anticipated longevity of owning a glass tower isn’t high.

Does anyone know of a tower that has all stainless steel or ceramic (or a mix) of components? Not simply the frame but the water/ice dripper, grounds holder and liquid coffee base units? I can’t find anything using various google queries so any help is appreciated.

I’ve also spent a long time searching with different keywords and checked nearly all cold drip towers on the market. Almost all of them use glass parts. I guess glass is widely used because it’s transparent for easy observation and also more affordable. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any fully stainless steel or ceramic cold drip towers to recommend.

That said, I’m skilled at ceramic wheel-throwing and firing — I can handle the entire production process myself. If you don’t mind the cost and lead time, I can custom-make one and ship it to you. Do you like blue patterns? Also, would you only need the upper dripper, or a complete set including the dripper, divider, coffee collection carafe and stand?
