If you like the resulting coffee, get the Toddy System; if not, you've only wasted a pound of coffee.

They're noisy, messy and take forever to grind up 3 pounds of coffee beans.

But I like using the pound better, as you make coffee less often

You can basically try this method without the toddymaker: soak a pound of ground coffee in 9 cups of cold water for 12 hours, and strain/filter out 6 cups of coffee concentrate to mix with 3 parts hot water.

I think I have lost a pound or two just by cutting out the cream and sugar for two months!There is no better way to describe it than "smooth".

I have been making iced coffee off and on for a few years now by grinding up a pound of beans and mixing it up with water in a 1 gallon cambro container, letting it sit out for about 24 hours, then straining it with coffee filters in a wire mesh strainer.

Not to mention, a pound of coffee every two weeks is a heck of a lot cheaper than using those pods every day

* The instructions recommend brewing one pound of coffee grinds at once, along with 8 cups of water or so

Also, the little felt filters it does come with like to pop out and literally wasted almost a pound in beans at this point

2.2-Pound Pouch here on Amazon and grind it very fine and let it set in the Toddy for almost 24 hours.

I buy 3 pounds of coffee beans at our local warehouse store, and grind it there before bringing it home.

so my particular recipe is 1/3 c concentrate, 1/3 c water, 1/3 c fat free Half n Half, 1 tbsp syrup (vanilla or organic maple), ice.
