Product Description

The Toddy Maker is a simple device that uses cold water and a carefully designed filter system to produce an exceptionally pure coffee concentrate from ground coffee. The advantages of coffee brewed with the Toddy Maker make it a popular choice among both individuals and the food service industry. Cold water brewing extracts the desirable flavor elements, but eliminates many of the undesirable oils and acids found in hot brewed coffee that are not soluble at low temperatures. Cold brewed coffee tastes smoother and is easier on the stomach. Toddy coffee has been recommended by doctors to their patients who are sensitive to the acid in hot brewed coffee. The original Toddy Maker consists of a plastic brewing container with a plug and filter at the bottom. One pound of regular grind coffee and nine cups of cold water are added and allowed to steep for eight to twelve hours. The plug is then removed and the resulting concentrate is allowed to drain through the filter into a glass carafe which is also provided. The grounds are then disposed of (they make good compost) and the filter rinsed thoroughly. The concentrate must be refrigerated. To make a cup of hot coffee simply mix one part concentrate with three parts water and heat in the microwave. To make iced coffee mix one part concentrate with three parts water and serve over ice. The concentrate is good for about three weeks in the refrigerator, and can be frozen for several months

Customer Reviews

Mixed Feelings4
I love coffee but I’m not a connoisseur. I have been following manufacturer’s directions and so far I have to say this method has been expensive. The coffee tastes great but I’m not sure if I feel inclined to experiment to get more out of a pound. The novelty may be worth buying it though and you can always use your automatic drip or french press for regular drinking and save the Toddy for special occasions - e.g. when you have a party. Can’t comment on the low acidity claim because I don’t have that problem. In short, if you’re not concerned about the cost of buying more pounds of coffee, go ahead and purchase. You may love it.

PERFECT BREW!!!5
This is absolute perfection and ease in cold-filter brewing. Makes ANY house a coffeehouse without the exorbitant prices. I make my own coffee latte at a fraction of the price…and I NEVER have to wait in line or deal with attitude. LOL A MUST HAVE!

toddy is great4
Toddy makes great coffee and it makes life easier to have it around. It’s a little flimsy feeling, but the results are great.

glass carafe broke easily1
I use a variety of french press coffee makers (whicheve is least expensive). The Bodum 4-cup press was not the least expensive but I wanted to try it anyway. The pouring spout of the glass carafe broke after the first week when it came into relatively gentle contact with another item in my sink. I went to our local Ross store and purchased a 3-cup french press from another brand for $3.99 + tax.

luv this french press, but…3
i think this is a great way to make coffee. i love the simplicity. i have never had one of these before so i can’t make a comparison here, just a few comments.

Overall i am quite happy with this press, but have some design complaints:

1. wish it had measuring lines on the side, so i could more easily remember how much water to add. i heat water in an electric teapot and usually make only one cup, so i have figured out how much water i need to put in it and have lined that up with some writing on the glass container (thank goodness there is writing on the side), but if i need to make more cups, i will have to figure that out and remember that too. i know its european, but any numbered lines would have helped. (yes, i know i could measure the water before heating it, but i usually have water standing in the electric kettle, so i dont know exactly how much im heating up)

2. even though the plunger does a great job filtering the coffee, afterwards the grinds get stuck between the mesh and the metal holding it and i have to spend some time rinsing them out. this wouldnt happen with a finer grind, so maybe i just need to learn how to get the grind just right. but i still think its a problem that could have been designed away.

3. its says its dishwasher safe and i have done it. but now i noticed that water is getting trapped in the lid between the metal top and plastic part and if i shaked it i could here it sloshing inside. i couldnt figure out how to take it apart to dry it properly. all i could do was keep shaking the water out through the seems. so, i won’t be putting the top in the dishwasher again, cuz i am afraid of getting any soapy water in my coffee. i think the top should have had a seemless design.

all that said, im still happy with my new french press, just wish their design team reads these comments :)

Customer Reviews

Works as Promised 5
Decalcifies my DeLonghi Magnifica without much effort from me. A critical part of maintenance for high-end espresso machines.

Works like advertised.5
Bought this to clean out my Capresso C3000. It worked like its supposed to.

User error3
I give this product 3 stars because I had to throw out my espresso machine after using. Why not 1 star, you ask? Because it’s my fault for being an idiot.

Here’s the deal. I owned a 5 year old steam driven espresso machine and had never descaled. I bought this product thinking it was time to start. Bad idea. I used the product according to instructions, and the water was clear but there were chunks of brown stuff in it. So I did another treatment and it was still chunky. Since my first box of product was gone, I bought another. I thought this time I’d let the liquid sit for a couple hours to loosen everything up. That was my fatal mistake. The water began running a murky gray and even after flushing with clean water a number of times I could still see the specks shimmering in the water that came through. I assume it ate away the finish inside the machine and I wasn’t going to take my chances on what ingesting that could mean for my body.

So like I said, I had a bad experience but it was my fault. Although the instructions could have cautioned against leaving the product in the machine to sit. Maybe that’s common sense in the barista world, but since I owned a STEAM machine and had NEVER decalcified, I was clearly starting below the average espresso IQ.

Look for me to review a new espresso machine in the near future!

Customer Reviews

Great coffeemker5
I am a college student, so this was a lot of money for me to drop on a coffee maker. I spent several days reading reviews on many coffeemakers. I decided I really wanted to get a thermal carafe and ended up deciding on the Braun. I am glad that I did. I think the built in water filter is cool, I will really decide when I have to buy a replacement in a month or so…I like the gold filter a lot, its easy to spray out in the sink. The carafe keeps coffee hot for quite some time, and I almost never pre-rinse with hot water, which will add at least an hour to the time. It brews quickly, but a timer would have been nice so I could wake up to already brewed coffee.


If you REALLY like coffee5
This coffee maker is perfect for the connoisseur! There is no burner, so your coffee stays the perfect temp. If you’re going to be drinking it over the course of several hours, I’d recommend filling the carafe with warm water for a few minutes prior to brewing to ensure 4 hours later you still have hot coffee. Slow perk, is just the right amount of time to get the perfect cup - no waiting for 15 minutes, but not so quick it doesn’t have time to filter through those luscious fresh ground beans!
