"(The Toddy) is the
ultimate coffee maker."
-
The Washington Post
As important as those fresh roasted beans are to your cup of coffee, it's
what you do with them that counts the most.
It all started in 1964 when Todd Simpson, a chemical engineering graduate of Cornell, developed and patented a cold brew system that, using regular coffee beans, creates a
superior-tasting cup of steaming HOT coffee. And, with 67% LESS ACID
than coffee made by conventional hot brew methods, it's
easier on sensitive stomachs.
The Toddy coffee maker extracts the coffee bean's true delicious flavor
and eliminates much of the acidity, producing a bold, super-smooth
coffee that can be served one cup at a time.
The Toddy brewer is also ideal for making tea - served hot or over ice.
"I am so excited that you decided to carry the Coffee Toddy. As I told you, I have one and I love it. The coffee it makes tastes better than regular hot brewed coffee. It tastes like really fancy coffee at a fine restaurant. It works like this: you pour an entire pound of coffee into the coffee toddy with 6 cups of cold water and allow it to stand for 12 to 18 hours. After that, you drain it out past a filter into a pitcher which comes with the toddy - it is a concentrate that you add to water and it keeps in your fridge for weeks. I think it's one part concentrate to 3 parts water for the perfect cup of coffee. You can also add it to milk and pour it over ice for the best iced coffee you've ever tasted! All this and 67% less acidity."
What more could us ICers who love coffee want! Another perk: (no pun intended!) in the morning you don't have to get up and brew coffee - just pour the concentrate and water into your coffee cup and microwave it. It's ready in 2 minutes!'

COLD-BREWED COFFEE CONCENTRATE INSTRUCTIONS
-
FILL - The Toddy brewing container is designed to
hold (1) one pound of coffee and (9) nine cups (72 fluid ounces) of
water. (If your coffee is packaged in sizes larger or smaller than one
pound, click here for detailed proportion suggestions.)
Add (2) two cups of water into the bottom of the Toddy brewing
container. When pouring the water over the grounds, the water should be
added gently, in a circular motion, to make sure all the grounds get
wet and there are no dry pockets. Then, add (1/2) half-pound ground
coffee. Slowly pour (5) five cups of water over the grounds, then add
the remaining (1/2) half pound ground coffee. Finally, wait five
minutes and slowly add (2) two cups of water.
DO NOT STIR. Lightly tap the topmost grounds with the back of a spoon
to ensure all grounds get wet. Allow to cold brew for 12 hours before
draining.
-
BREW - We recommend that you cold-brew your coffee
grounds 12 hours to achieve maximum results. Remove the stopper and let
coffee concentrate flow into the glass decanter. Toddy's cold-brew
process should yield (6) six cups (48 fluid ounces) of coffee
concentrate. The coffee beans absorb the balance of the water.
You may cold-brew your grounds longer than the recommended 12 hours.
However, if you do, more acidity and caffeine will be absorbed into the
liquid (although the amount of acidity and caffeine will never be as
much as coffee brewed by conventional hot water methods). The
trade-off: Richer concentrate will be produced (with the same amount of
liquid), therefore allowing you to produce more cups of coffee per
pound of coffee beans.
-
SERVE - The Toddy produces a naturally low acid,
bold yet smooth coffee concentrate that may be refrigerated for up to
14 days without any deterioration in taste or freshness. And,
importantly, there's no waste. Toddy can be made one cup at a time
simply by adding steaming hot or cold water, milk or cream. It's also
microwavable (do not boil concentrate).
We recommend a ratio of (1) one part coffee concentrate to (3)
three parts water, milk or cream. However, one of the benefits of using
the Toddy system is that you can mix to taste (make it as strong or as
weak as you prefer).
And, you drink the coffee you make (unlike hot brewed coffee,
where an average of 3-4 cups are consumed for every 8-10 produced).
NOTES: Different coffee brewing methods require
different types of grinds. It's important that you use a universal or,
better yet, coarsely ground coffee with your Toddy.
If you grind your beans at home, you may use an inexpensive
blade grinder, grinding your beans between 9-11 seconds - similar to
the grind used in an old-fashioned percolator.
COLD-BREWED TEA CONCENTRATE INSTRUCTIONS
-
FILL - The Toddy brewing container is designed to hold
1/2 lb. of loose tealeaves and (9) nine cups (72 fluid ounces) of
water.
Add (2) two cups of water into the bottom of the Toddy brewing
container. When pouring the water over the grounds, the water should be
added gently, in a circular motion, to make sure all the tealeaves get
wet and there are no dry pockets. Then, add (1/4) quarter pound of
tealeaves. Slowly pour (5) five cups of water over the tealeaves, then
add the remaining (1/4) quarter pound of tealeaves. Finally, wait five
minutes and slowly add (2) two cups of water.
DO NOT STIR. Lightly tap the tealeaves with the back of a spoon to
ensure all tea get wet. Allow to cold brew for 12 hours before draining.
-
BREW - We recommend that you cold-brew your
tealeaves 12 hours to achieve maximum results. Remove the stopper and
let tea concentrate flow into the glass decanter. Toddy's cold-brew
process should yield (6) six cups (48 fluid ounces) of tea concentrate.
The tealeaves absorb the balance of the water.
-
SERVE - The Toddy produces a pure, naturally low
acid tea concentrate that may be refrigerated for up to 14 days without
any deterioration in taste or freshness. And, importantly, there's
no waste. Toddy can be made one cup at a time simply by adding steaming
hot or cold water, milk or cream. It's also microwavable (do not boil
concentrate).
For a cup of fresh, steaming hot tea, simply add 1 part
concentrate to 7 parts steaming water (or add cold water and
microwave). For a glass of delicious iced tea, simply add milk or
water, and serve over ice. One of the benefits of using the Toddy
system is that you can mix to taste (make it as strong or as weak as
you prefer).
