and this is by far the easiest to do bulk cold brew concentrate

The concentrate that comes from this method is terrific.

The instructions call for one part cold concentrated coffee to three parts hot water... more of the concentrated coffee if you like it stronger.

The coffee concentrate, is, of course, excellent

We drank ours before then, but we used to freeze the coffee concentrate in ice cube trays to keep for longer storage

Best of all, the concentrate is good for a lot of things.

Next time, I use the Toddy Maker, I will try using more coarsely ground coffee beans and perhaps the liquid concentrate will be more plentiful.

(Toddy recommends using 1 part concentrate to 3 parts water, milk or cream), and you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 14 days and have it still taste as fresh as it did the first day

I'm curious what the concentrate will be like when I use a stronger/different roast

Soaking the beans overnight provided enough concentrate for at least 10 cups of coffee--maybe more

I'm hoping the coffee concentrate stays good for a week or two in the fridge, as promised.

Besides being very economical and convenient (you have concentrated coffee ready to go in the fridge) it's also the best-tasting coffee you'll ever have - the cold brew process results in a much less acidic brew which perfectly captures the flavor profile of your beans

glass container, shaking it up and letting it sit 12-24 hours, and it worked just as well, but the concentrate wasn't as strong

The concentrate even works great for recipes calling for espresso, and as an added bonus, it doesn't have the acidity

Really makes the smooth and strong concentrate I've been searching for.

The concentrate is strong enough to cut the milk and sugar.

Essentially you put some ground-up beans in a giant plastic bucket, let them soak overnight, then drain the resulting liquid (coffee concentrate) for storage in the fridge

It's easy, it makes great coffee concentrate, and it's inexpensive.

I still get the strong concentrate.

so it throws me off to use so much, but having cold concentrated coffee ready to go has been a great time saver and benefit to our health.

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

Makes great concentrated coffee

If you want a stronger concentrate (like we did), you'll end up going through A LOT of coffee grounds; so much so, in fact, that we discovered it was cheaper to just buy coffee from Starbucks every morningThere are several design improvements that could be made to this unit that could make preparation, brewing, and clean-up better

The concentrate is great for making mocha lattes; mocha cakes, icing, and other goodies; adding to roasts for a lovely dark flavor; just a quick cup of coffee.

I always freshly grind whole Italian Roast and it seriously yields an intensely dark and robust concentrate.

The concentrate is great to add to recipes like chili and meat stews

AND...a 12-24 hour brew time gives you enough coffee concentrate for about 2 weeks (depending on how much coffee you drink).

We grind coffee every 2 weeks - this makes enough concentrate to get me and my fiance through that time (although it does get a little stale toward the end)

I read the directions, very easy to follow, the concentrate was great.

Its cold brew process make a great coffee concentrate that has much less acidity than hot brew.

You learn from experience how to make enough concentrate to last for as long as it will stay fresh refrigerated

The extract is rather tasteless, no matter how strong or weak you make the concentrate and no matter how long you allow it to steep.

It makes great cold coffee concentrate for iced drinks but also works well for hot coffee.

We have found that we most enjoy the concentrate when it's been brewed for 24 hours, and then we reuse the grounds for a different, bit more harsh concentrate.

I like the convenience of have a whole jar of cold brew concentrate in my fridge that I can use throughout the week.

A little cheat, I have been buying just standard "bricks" of preground coffee and getting perfect results (or at least superior to the on the shelf concentrate I was purchasing before.

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

it's not like you are pouring the concentrate into anything.2

Then there's the problem of having to have a kettle of boiling water ... and then the recipe of 1 part concentrate to 3 parts boiling water

I use 1/2 gallon water plus 1/2 package (about 6 ounces) of coffee to make a nice concentrate

and then you have enough coffee concentrate for about a week!

Makes amazing cold brew coffee concentrate

The Toddy Cold Brew system make really good coffee concentrate

Very simple to use to make a great concentrated coffee.

 If this is your first time with cold brew, I heavily advise taking your time enjoying this delicious coffee concentrate and adding a bit of water to your cup

Some would say the taste is too bland but for someone (like me) who drinks a lot of coffee each day, the concentrate is easy to mix and goes down smoothly

Want great coffee concentrate that lasts for weeks in your fridge

This makes a great brewed tea concentrate that can be stored in the fridge/freezer also

The concentrate is very smooth and rich

The Toddy is SUPER easy to use and makes enough concentrated coffee to last me several weeks

We have found that we most enjoy the concentrate when it's been brewed for 24 hours, and then we reuse the grounds for a different, bit more harsh concentrate.

Allow mixture to cool completely, then add 4T PURE vanilla extract (do not use imitation vanilla).Bottle and enjoy

Generally get about 10-15 brewings per filter (the filtering slows down as they're getting clogged) and coffee lasts me about a week per brewing.

My first brew didn't drain as well as it should have.

as strong as you want it to be.

I emailed the manufacturer, and they said the plastic is not made with BPA, and that is a great plus!I would recommend this to anyone, and have purchased this for many, as well as got additional decanters for myself!

I like my coffee strong and don't dilute the "extract" nearly as much as they recommend.

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)
