Cold Brew Guide

(Toddy Cold Brewing System)

 Requirements:

• Toddy Cold Brew System (Domestic / home-use size)
• Scales
• Fresh coffee beans
• Adjustable burr grinder
• Filtered water
• Filter bag (optional; see Method 2 if not using a filter bag)

Ratio:

• 340g coffee to 1.9L water (8 cups)
• Brewing Time: 8-24 hours (depending on taste)

 

Grind: Very coarse

 Method 1 (Brewing With Filter Bag)

1.) FILLL:

Insert the stopper into the outside bottom of the brewing container. Dampen the disc-shaped felt filter and insert it into the inside bottom of the brewing container.

Open the top of your paper filter bag and place the bag into the brewing container. Pour 340 g of coarse-ground coffee into the bag, followed by 8 cups (1.9 L) of water. Stir coffee grounds gently with a spoon or spatula to ensure even saturation. Tightly twist the top of the bag to close it.

2.) BREW:

Steep your coffee grounds at room temperature 8 to 24 hours to create a smooth, rich flavour.

3.) FILTER:

Remove the stopper and let your coffee concentrate flow into the glass decanter. Remove and discard the 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 2 parts water or milk.

Mix to taste, making your coffee as strong or as mild as you prefer. For rich, smooth iced coffee, simply pour coffee concentrate and water or milk over ice. For a flavourful yet gentle cup of hot coffee, stir concentrate with steaming hot water.

Method 2 (Brewing Without Filter Bag)

1.) FILL:

Insert the stopper into the outside bottom of the brewing container; then, dampen the filter and insert it into the inside bottom of the brewing container. Next, add 1 cup (250 mL) of water into the bottom of the Toddy brewing container and 170 g of ground coffee. Slowly pour 3 more cups (700 mL) of water over the grounds in a circular motion.

DO NOT STIR (stirring the bed of grounds can result in a clogged filter!)

Wait 5 minutes, then add the remaining 170 g of ground coffee. Finally, slowly add the last 4 cups (950 mL) of water. Lightly press down on the topmost grounds with the back of a spoon to ensure all grounds are wet.

2.) BREW:

Steep your coffee grounds at room temperature 8 to 24 hours to create a smooth, rich flavour.

3.) FILTER:

Remove the stopper and let your coffee concentrate flow into the glass decanter, where it will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.

4.) SERVE:

Remove the stopper and let your coffee concentrate flow into the glass decanter, where it will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
