The Toddy Home Cold Brew System is the original cold brew coffee maker — invented in 1964 by Todd Simpson and trusted by home brewers and coffee professionals around the world for over 60 years. By steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12–24 hours, the Toddy extracts rich, smooth, full-flavoured concentrate with 67% less acid than hot brewing methods, producing coffee that is noticeably smoother, less bitter, and easier on the stomach.
One batch of 340g of coffee yields approximately 1–1.1 litres (36–38oz) of cold brew concentrate — enough for multiple drinks over up to a week when stored in the fridge. Dilute with water, milk, oat milk, or serve over ice. Use it hot or cold. The Toddy does one thing exceptionally well and has done for over six decades.
Why the Toddy Home System Produces the Best Cold Brew
Cold brewing in cold water rather than hot changes the chemistry of extraction entirely. Heat extracts acids and bitter compounds quickly — cold water extracts them far more slowly and selectively, producing a concentrate that is naturally sweeter, rounder, and significantly less acidic than the same coffee brewed hot.
- 67% less acid than hot-brewed coffee — independently verified; noticeably smoother, sweeter taste with no bitterness; far easier on the stomach for those sensitive to coffee acidity
- Dual filtration system — reusable felt filter plus paper filter combination removes fine particles and sediment for a clean, silt-free concentrate
- 2 reusable felt filters included — the Toddy felt filters are the key to the system’s clean, smooth result; replacements are available at Coffee Hit
- Glass decanter with lid — airtight storage keeps concentrate fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks; pour directly from the decanter
- Rubber stopper — seals the brewing container during the steep for clean, mess-free brewing
- Non-electric cold brew — no power, no complexity; just coffee, cold water, time, and the Toddy system
- Produces approximately 1–1.1 litres (36–38oz) of concentrate per 340g of coffee
- Steep time: 12–24 hours — 12 hours for a lighter, brighter result; 18–24 hours for a deeper, more intense concentrate
- Concentrate keeps for up to 1–2 weeks refrigerated — brew once, enjoy all week
