Toddy “Cold Brew” System – Iced Coffee Maker

The Toddy® Cold Brew System is the original pioneer of cold brew coffee products. This is a non-electrical coffee maker that produces a smooth, rich liquid concentrate used to make unequaled cold brew (iced) coffee at home. By allowing time for heat replacement, Toddy’s ingenuously simple cold water filtration process extracts the coffee bean’s true flavors, leaving behind much of the unwanted acidity.

Toddy® Cold Brew System is the perfect for delicious iced and blended frozen drinks including cold brew teas.

Toddy® Cold Brew System includes:
Brewing container, Brewing container lid, Brewing handle, Glass decanter, Decanter lid, Toddy filters (2), Silicone stopper, Paper filter bags (3)

Instructions for Cold-Brewed Coffee Concentrate

For the best flavor, start with 12 ounces (340 g) of coarsely ground coffee and 7 cups (56 fl. oz./1.65 L) of filtered water by volume.

1. Fill – First, insert the stopper into the outside bottom of the brewing container; then, dampen the disc shaped felt Toddy filter and insert it into the inside bottom of the brewing container. Next, open the top of your paper filter bag and place the bag into the brewing container. Pour 12 ounces (340 g) of coarse-ground coffee into the bag, followed by 7 cups (56 fl. oz./1.65 L) of water. Stir coffee grounds gently with a spoon or spatula, to ensure saturation of grounds. Tightly twist the top of the bag to close it.
2. Brew – Steep your coffee grounds at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours to create a smooth, rich flavor.
3. Filter – Remove the stopper and let your coffee concentrate flow into the glass decanter. Remove and discard paper filter and coffee grounds. Coffee concentrate will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
4. Serve – We recommend starting with a ratio of 1 part coffee concentrate to 3 parts water, milk or soy. Mix to taste, making your coffee as strong or as weak as you prefer. For rich, smooth iced coffee, simply pour coffee concentrate and water, milk or soy over ice. Stir concentrate with steaming hot water for a flavorful yet gentle cup of hot coffee.

Instructions for Tea Concentrate:

For the best flavor, start with 8 ounces (225 g) of loose tea leaves and 9 cups (72 fl. oz./2.13 L) of water.

1. Fill – First, insert the stopper into the outside bottom of the brewing container; then, dampen the disc shaped felt filter and insert it into the inside bottom of the brewing container as usual. Next, open the top of your paper filter bag and place the bag into the brewing container. Pour 8 ounces (225 g) of tea leaves into the bag, followed by 9 cups (72 fl. oz./2.13 L) of water. Stir tea leaves gently with a spoon or spatula, to ensure saturation of the leaves. Tightly twist the top of the bag to close it.
2. Brew – Steep your tea leaves at room temperature for 12 hours to create a smooth, vibrant flavor.
3. Filter – Remove the stopper and let your tea concentrate flow into the glass decanter. Remove and discard paper filter and tea leaves. Tea concentrate will stay fresh for up to a week in your refrigerator.
4. Serve – We recommend starting with a ratio of 1 part tea concentrate to 7 parts water, milk or soy. Mix to taste, making your tea as strong or as weak as you prefer. Serve hot or iced.
