There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There is no better way to describe it than "smooth". The cold brew system cuts the acidity by 2/3, so I guess that is the difference. I will never go back to hot brew, I actually carry the concentrate with me when I travel!
I have tried different brands of coffee and found that I prefer a medium roast. The Trader Joe Breakfast Blend and the Kirkland World Roast are my faves so far. Pretty much any coffee you enjoyed hot brew will work for cold brew. Its better to grind it more coarsely, but I have bought pre-ground and it worked just fine (but see my tips on filters below). I tried a flavored coffee and that was a bust (flavor was really weak), but that could have been user error or just not the right flavor to try (it was swiss chocolate orange). I am interested to try the chicory flavor listed on the Toddy website as "most popular".
This is definitely one of the least expensive and most basic "appliances" in my kitchen. If you have never tried cold brew before, you can do a small test run with a small pitcher first. After it sits for 12-14 hours, pour it through a filter. This is not an ideal way to always make cold brew because it will be cumbersome and you won't get much for your effort...but you can try it just to see if you like cold brew. The Toddy system is well-priced enough to make the purchase worthwhile in the long run. Each batch I make lasts me about two weeks. I drink one cup per day.
As a perfectionist-in-reform-training, I stressed a bit at first about the exact quantity of grind versus water, the coarseness of the grind, and exactly how long to let it sit and brew. What I learned is that it doesn't matter too much because the result is stronger or weaker concentrate, so you simply add more or less hot water when you drink it.
Measurements...I use the Toddy recommended 12 ounces of coffee for 7 cups of water which is approximately twice the number of ounces of grind as cups of water(so if you were testing this at home and did one cup of water it would be just under 2 ounces of coffee). And for those of you, like myself, who are unsure of how to measure 12 ounces of coffee...it is luckily the same as measuring a liquid, 8 ounces=1 cup, so 12 ounces is 1 1/2 cups of grind.
Grind...I have used coarse grind and regular "coffee maker" grind and both have turned out fine. However, I am not a super-snobby coffee drinker. So you can experiment with both and see if you can tell a difference. For me, I have three little kids and don't want to spend the time grinding my own coffee, so I buy it pre-ground. The concentrate pours out faster upon completion if you use a coarser grind, but that was about all I could discern.
The filter...I push it snugly into the bottom and then lay a regular #4 filter on top of it. I tried wrapping the #4 around it and that was a huge bust, it wouldn't drain. I think using the extra filter helps preserve the Toddy filter, giving it a longer life. So I wet the #4, lay it on top and quickly pour a cup of water and a half cup of grind to set the filter so it won't float up. Then over the next half hour or so, I pour in a cup or two of water and pour some more grinds in. I usually do this while I am busy in the kitchen with other things so I can let each water/grind pouring sit for 5-10 minutes. I reserve about a cup of water at the end to pour over grinds that haven't sunk into the mixture, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and gently push any remaining dry grind into the mixture with the back of a spoon. Note: you are supposed to pour the water in slowly in a circle, and do not ever stir it. I put a round Tupperware lid on top...not sure why the system doesn't include a lid.
Brewing and Draining...Generally, I set up the mixture Sundays at 4pm so it is ready Monday morning at 6am. If it sits a bit shorter or longer that seems to be ok, but I've never left it more than 15 hours. Fourteen hours seems like the ideal time to me. To drain, I put the Toddy container on top of the glass carafe and pull the plug. Sometimes it takes 30 minutes to finish draining, so be aware. I think the extra filter slows it down. Once it wouldn't come out at all, so I simply poured the mixture into a bowl, reserving as much of the grind in the Toddy container as possible. Then I scraped out the grind from the Toddy container, rinsed the filter and poured the mixture back in. It drained just fine then. This also works well if you have a brilliant moment and insert the plug from the inside. I will neither confirm nor deny whether I have done this. :)
Cleaning...This is easy to clean. I have a general disdain for anything that doesn't go in the dishwasher, but have not been annoyed or tormented by cleaning out this system. If you have a compost bin, you know what to do with the grinds. If you don't and you have pine trees, azaleas, rhododendrons, hydrangeas or any other acid-loving plants, you can put the grinds around the plants. Otherwise, you just bang it on the side of the trash can and most of the grinds will come out. Then I scrape the rest out with a spoon. I've never had the Toddy filter dislodge on its own, I always have to poke it out by sticking a straw or pen through the hole to dislodge it. I then rinse the Toddy filter well, put it in a well-marked ziplock (so it doesn't get thrown away) and keep it in the fridge.
Drinking...I highly recommend the Zojirushi hot water dispenser. It keeps water hot all day and uses very little energy. I use the hot water to mix with my Toddy coffee concentrate (so no matter what time I am ready for coffee, it is ready), and we use it for oatmeal, grits, and tea. Its very handy. As an aside, they also have fabulous rice cookers.
I've read some comments about the glass carafe...yes, it is fragile, so be careful. I haven't broken it yet.
This is a GREAT system that is well worth the price!
We have six different ways to brew coffee (drip, espresso, V60 single-cup, vacuum pot, French press, and Toddy cold brew), use a burr grinder, and even roast our own coffee from time to time.
Of all the different types of coffee we brew, the Toddy Cold Brew system is my favorite. The coffee is smooth like French press, very low on acid (meaning the coffee is less bitter and doesn't aggravate ), can be very easily adjusted in terms of strength from one cup to another (I typically do 2/3 cup concentrate w/1 cup cold water for a 12-oz cup), and is fairly easy to make. The parts for the system all last a long time (I've only had to buy replacement filters once in the past 3 years) and are easy to clean as long as you follow the directions (and using a coarse grind, as is specified in the directions is absolutely essential). Cleanup is fairly simple (a big spoon can get all of the grounds out and the filter cleans easily with water) and the filters will easily last for 10 brews or more.
The only downside to this brew method is that it requires A LOT of coffee grounds (12 oz by weight) and it is recommended to let the water/grounds mixture sit for around 12 hours (or more) to get a strong concentrate before draining it into the decanter. Because of this, I typically only make it every couple of months, but I would brew it a lot more often otherwise.
If you don't drink coffee as much as I do, the concentrate can last in the fridge for up to 3 weeks (which can make up for the amount of grounds required). But if you enjoy it half as much as me, it probably won't last more than a week (unless you're conservative in how much you drink).
Regardless, I can't recommend this coffee brewing method highly enough. You won't know what you're missing until you try it!
It is not without its minor flaws, however. It is a bit more expensive to make coffee this way. Clean up is a bit difficult. The rim of the plastic upper part could be an inch taller.
I am going to tell how I approached each of those problems, it seems to work well for me.
In using the full pound of coffee and 72 ounces of water called for (It soaks for 12 hours per instructions) the top container is filled to the very brim...water and grounds are easily spilled over the top when pressing the grounds down (again per instructions) to assure uniform wetness.
I now use about 75% of a pound of coffee and 90% of the water called for. I place a #4 basket filter over the round Toddy filter to make for a better flow at the end of the process. I leave it all for about 30 hours and it is at least as strong as that obtained by following the instructions provided. Remember...this is not an exact science! I get more cups of coffee per pound this way and also have much easier clean up and less mess in the making. With the coffee and water mixture about an inch below the top of the container, one simply does not make the spills normally encountered.
When done, I let the concentrate run into the carafe per instructions, but then press the outsides of the grounds and then the center to get all the concentrate out...I do this twice. A surprising amount of extra concentrate is saved in this fashion. I then remove the carafe, place a plastic bag over the top of upper unit and invert it into the bag. The round filter is right at the top and I can easily pick it out.
In the sink I have placed a very large bowl (I use a stainless one) and rinse the parts that need it into the bowl. The grounds do not get away or get down my drain. When done I can just toss the bowl of water and grounds rinsed from the filter, etc. into my back yard and the clean up is basically complete.

I recommend toddy home cold brew system to all of those who loves their coffee (especially cold brews) as much as I do! The system brews amazing coffee/tea concerntrate which can last upto 2 weeks!
I brewed 240gms (9oz) of coffee (Coarse grind) with 1.2l of water in the room temperature for 18 hours, and the results are mind blowing! You get a smooth, silky and a flavourful coffee which can be mixed with various mixers such as water, milk, tonic water, etc. I wouldn't say it's the best buy rather it's the ONLY buy which is worth it under the price point. It's the OG of the coffee brewing systems out there!
Quality of the materials present in the equipment - 8/10
Easy to clean - 9/10
Value for money - 9/10
Coffee brew taste (cold) - 10/10
Durability - (i will update the review post 3 months)
The package consists of 2 Felt filters (Toddy recommends to replace filters every 10 uses/3 months), 3 Complimentary paper bag filters, a stopper, glass decanter (it can be only used for storing cold beverages), a silicon lid, plastic container and a user manual. It will be quite beneficial for the users to go through the manual if they're brewing for the first time!
