Cold is not a word usually associated with making java, but a growing number of caffeine connoisseurs are snapping up cold-brewing systems like the Toddy Coffee Maker. Ground coffee and cold water go into a plastic brewing container and are allowed to steep for 8 to 12 hours, resulting in a coffee concentrate that is then combined with hot water and warm milk or poured over ice to make the cup of your choice. The lack of brewing heat means fewer acids are extracted from the coffee, resulting in a beverage that’s smoother and milder than your traditional cupful.
Toddy Cold Brew System
“(The Toddy) is the ultimate coffee maker.”
                    -The Washington Post
Now you can create a ‘coffeehouse’ coffee – served steaming hot or iced cold, and in the comfort of your home – for much less than expensive signature coffee drinks!
As important as those fresh roasted beans are to your cup of coffee, it’s what you do with them that counts the most.
In 1964, as a chemical engineering graduate of Cornell, Todd Simpson 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.
