Fill First, insert the stopper into the outside bottom
of the brewing container; then, dampen the disc-
shaped felt filter and insert it into the inside bottom
of the brewing container.
Next, open the top of your paper filter bag and place
the bag into the brewing container. Pour 12 ounces
(340 g) of coarse-ground coffee into the bag, followed
by 7 cups (56 fl. oz./1.65 L) of water. Stir coffee grounds
gently with a spoon or spatula to ensure even
saturation. Tightly twist the top of the bag to close it.
Brew Steep your coffee grounds at room temperature
12 to 24 hours to create a smooth, rich flavor.
Filter Remove the stopper and let your coffee
concentrate flow into the glass decanter. Remove
and discard the paper filter and coffee grounds.
Coffee concentrate will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in
your refrigerator.
Serve We recommend starting with a ratio of
1 part coffee concentrate to 3 parts water, milk, or
soy. Mix to taste, making your coffee as strong or
as mild as you prefer. For rich, smooth iced coffee,
simply pour coffee concentrate and water, milk, or
soy over ice. For a flavorful yet gentle cup of hot
coffee, stir concentrate with steaming hot water.
METHOD 1: COFFEE CONCENTRATE
For the best flavor, start with 12 ounces (340 g) of coarsely ground coffee and
7 cups (56 fl. oz./1.65 L) of filtered water by volume.

Fill First, insert the stopper into the outside bottom
of the brewing container; then, dampen the filter and
insert it into the inside bottom of the brewing
container.
Next, add 1 cup (235 mL) of water into the bottom
of the Toddy brewing container and 6 ounces (170 g)
of ground coffee. Slowly pour 3 more cups (710 mL)
of water over the grounds in a circular motion. Wait
5 minutes, then add the remaining 6 ounces (170 g)
of ground coffee. Finally, slowly add the last 3 cups
(710 mL) of water. DO NOT STIR (stirring the bed
of grounds can result in a clogged filter).
Lightly press down on the topmost grounds with the
back of a spoon to ensure all grounds are wet.
Brew Steep your coffee grounds at room temperature
12 to 24 hours to create a smooth, rich flavor.

METHOD 2: COFFEE CONCENTRATE

Fill First, insert the stopper into the outside bottom
of the brewing container; then, dampen the disc-
shaped felt filter and insert it into the inside bottom
of the brewing container as usual.
Next, open the top of your paper filter bag and place
the bag into the brewing container. Pour 8 ounces
(230 g) of tea leaves into the bag, followed by 9 cups
(72 fl. oz./2.13 L) of water. Stir tea leaves gently with a
spoon or spatula to ensure saturation. Tightly twist
the top of the bag to close it.
Brew Steep your tea leaves for 12 hours
to create a smooth, vibrant flavor.
Filter Remove the stopper and let your tea
concentrate flow into the glass decanter. Remove
and discard the paper filter and tea leaves.
Concentrate will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in
your refrigerator.
Serve We recommend starting with a ratio of
1 part tea concentrate to 7 parts water, milk, or soy.

as you prefer. Serve hot or iced.
METHOD 1: TEA CONCENTRATE
The Toddy®brewing container is designed to hold 8 ounces (230 g) of loose tea
leaves and 9 cups (72 fl. oz./2.13 L) of water.

Fill First, insert the stopper into the outside bottom
of the brewing container; then, dampen the filter and
insert it into the inside bottom of the brewing
container.
Next, add 3 cups (710 mL) of water into the bottom
of the Toddy brewing container and 4 ounces (115 g)
of tea leaves. Slowly pour 3 more cups (710 mL) of
water over the leaves in a circular motion. Then, add
the remaining 4 ounces (115 g) of tea leaves. Finally,
wait 5 minutes and slowly add the last 3 cups
(710 mL) of water. DO NOT STIR (stirring the bed
of tea leaves can result in a clogged filter).
Lightly press down on the topmost tea leaves with
the back of a spoon to ensure all tea leaves are wet.
Brew Steep your tea leaves for 12 hours
to create a smooth, vibrant flavor.

METHOD 2: TEA CONCENTRATE

EASY CLEANUP
Dispose of the grounds or tea leaves (and paper
filter bag, if using METHOD 1).
Remove the reusable felt filter from the bottom
of the brewing container.
Rinse out the filter with water (no soap).
Immediately put the damp filter in a resealable
plastic bag and place in the freezer.
Note: Dishwasher safe. For longest life, we
recommend hand-washing all reusable parts.

Q: How much concentrate will my Toddy® system produce each batch?
A: If you are brewing 12 ounces of coffee, it should yield approximately
38 ounces of coffee concentrate. If you are making tea, your 8 ounces of
tea leaves should produce approximately 50 ounces of tea concentrate.
This should be just above the Toddy logo on your glass decanter.
Q: Where should I store my cold brew concentrate?
A: To maximize freshness store your concentrate in your refrigerator using
your glass decanter and lid.
Q: My Toddy® system won’t drain. What should I do?
A: To avoid clogging, make sure the coffee you use is coarsely ground. This
will allow the water to saturate all of the grounds without clogging your
filter. Also, when pouring your water over your grounds, do so gently to
least disrupt them. If your filter does become clogged and drainage stops
before full extraction is complete, gently poke the rounded blunt end of a
dinner knife through the grounds until the tip hits the filter. Then
gently scrape the top of the filter. Do not stir your coffee grounds or
brew on an unsteady surface, as it may agitate the grounds. Try Toddy®
Paper Filter Bags in your next batch to prevent felt filter clogging.
Q: My market doesn’t sell coffee in 12 oz. sizes. Can I brew a full pound?
Can I brew 8 oz.?
A: Yes. To brew one pound (16 oz./450 g) of coffee, increase the amount of
water added to the grounds to 9 cups (2.13 L). Please note: The brewing
container will be very full, so use caution not to overflow. To brew 8 ounces
(230 g) of coffee, decrease the water to 4.5 cups (1.07 L).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How often should I change my reusable felt filter?
A: The felt filter may be used up to 10 times (discard after 3 months). Toddy®
Paper Filter Bags are for one-time use only. You may purchase new filters
and other Toddy®genuine replacement parts from your local retailer, your
favorite online supplier, or at ToddyCafe.com.
Q: How should I grind my coffee beans?
A: Use the coarsest grind setting for best results. If you purchase beans from a
coffee shop, ask your barista to grind for French press. Many home grinders
have no grind settings - grind your beans 75% of the time recommended
for hot brew systems.
Q: Can I use traditional paper filters in my Toddy® system?
A: No, the Toddy®Cold Brew System requires specially designed felt and
paper filters.
Q: The instructions say to leave the grounds and water undisturbed. Some
of the grounds clump up and resist getting wet, thus remaining dry after
I add the water. Should I stir to wet all the coffee grounds?
A: Yes, you can stir the grounds if using the paper filter (Method 1). Stirring is
not recommended for Method 2 as the felt filter may clog.
Q: How can I best protect my Toddy® system for longtime use?
A: Follow our easy cleanup practices found below to get the most out of
your Toddy®system. When removing your filter, push a round, thin object
through the bottom of the brewing container. Do not use anything sharp as
this may cause leakage during brewing. Keep your Toddy® brewing
container away from extreme temperatures and do not push your stopper in
too hard to prevent cracking and leakage.
Q: Can I drink cold brew concentrate hot?
A: Your Toddy® Cold Brew System makes a delicious concentrate for hot
coffee as well as iced. We recommend 1 part concentrate to 3 parts
steaming hot water for a flavorful yet gentle cup of hot coffee.
Q: Can I use a knife from the bottom of the brew container to remove the
felt filter?
A: We recommend removing the felt filter with your hands instead of using a
knife or other sharp utensil from the underside. You can also use a straw or
chopstick if you have those items available.
Q: How hard must I push the stopper in to seal the brew container?
A: We recommend gently pressing the stopper into place and turning it a
quarter turn to seal. No need to use a great deal of pressure.
Q: Does my Toddy®Cold Brew System have a warranty?
A: Toddy offers a one-year product warranty for defects in material or
workmanship with a valid proof of purchase from an authorized reseller.
Please contact us at [phone] or ToddyCafe.com.
