Great easy to use unit for making cold brew coffeeThis thing makes the most wonderful coffee. I am an admitted coffee snob but was suffering from the acid in the coffee I drank. It all ended with this set up. It makes great coffee that is so darn much easier on your system. 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.Read full review
I originally purchased one of these systems for my sister who heard how wonderful they are. In return, I received one for Christmas. I used to stop to get my coffee from my favorite spot every morning before work. I now purchase the beans from my favorite spot and use the Toddy every morning. I went to said favorite spot the other day to have coffee with a friend and found my drink to have a very different flavor, acidity, and it gave me a harsh coffee buzz that I pdidn't enjoy. I recommend this system to anybody who wants to have cold coffee on demand with less acidity, great flavor and vast convenience. I have purchased one for my Mom and one for a friend. All 5 of us are avid Toddy believers!
Perfect for use with my Toddy T2N cold brew coffee maker. It seals airtight for storage. Opening is just the right size to grip and clean.

I've used the Toddy Cold Brew System for over 25 years. It is an easy way to make coffee that is significantly lower in acid than hot-brewed coffee. And the taste is smooth and gentle.

The cold brew coffee is great. I have been using the product for over a year. Only complaint is I wish there was a system where only the plastic holding container is needed. It having two containers for the coffee seems a little much.
