Toddy Cold Brew System - Original Cold Brew Coffee Maker Since 1964

Original Cold Brew Innovation

The Toddy Cold Brew System invented the cold brew category over 60 years ago. This proven design has stood the test of time because it simply works—no gimmicks, just perfect cold brew.

Low-Acid Brewing Method

The cold water extraction process produces coffee that's 67% less acidic than hot-brewed coffee, making it gentler on sensitive stomachs while highlighting coffee's natural sweetness.

Makes Concentrate for Versatility

Brew once, enjoy for up to 2 weeks. The concentrate dilutes 1:1 with water or milk, giving you control over strength and allowing you to make both hot and iced coffee drinks.

Large Batch Capacity

Makes approximately 7 cups of cold brew concentrate from 12 ounces of coffee—enough for 14+ servings when diluted, perfect for households or entertaining.

Simple Immersion Process

No complicated machinery, electricity, or special skills required. Just add coarse ground coffee and cold water, wait 12-24 hours, and release the delicious concentrate.

Complete Brewing System

Includes everything you need: brewing container, glass decanter with lid, reusable filters, rubber stopper, and detailed instructions.

Durable & Long-Lasting

Made from BPA-free plastic and laboratory-grade glass. The brewing container and decanter last for years, with only filters needing periodic replacement.

Easy to Clean

All components rinse clean easily. The decanter is dishwasher safe, making cleanup effortless after brewing.

What You'll Need

• Toddy Cold Brew System
• 12 oz (340g) coarse ground coffee
• 7 cups (56 oz) cold or room temperature water
• Large spoon or stirrer
• Refrigerator space

Step-by-Step Brewing Instructions

1. Prep the Brewing Container (0:00): Insert the rubber stopper into the bottom hole of the brewing container from the outside. Place one paper filter in the bottom of the container, covering the stopper.
2. Add First Water (0:02): Pour 1 cup of cold water into the brewing container to wet the paper filter.
3. Add Half the Coffee (0:03): Add 6 oz (half) of your coarse ground coffee to the container.
4. Add More Water (0:04): Slowly pour 3 cups of cold water in a circular motion over the coffee grounds. Do not stir yet.
5. Add Remaining Coffee (0:05): Add the remaining 6 oz of coarse ground coffee on top.
6. Add Final Water (0:06): Slowly pour the remaining 3 cups of cold water over the grounds in a circular motion.
7. Wait 5 Minutes (0:06-0:11): Let the coffee sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow grounds to fully saturate.
8. Gentle Stir (0:11): Gently press down any floating grounds with a spoon. Do not stir vigorously—just ensure all grounds are wet.
9. Brew (0:11-12:00 to 24:00): Cover the container with plastic wrap or a plate. Let sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. For smoother, less acidic results, brew for the full 24 hours.
10. Release the Concentrate: Place the glass decanter under the brewing container. Remove the rubber stopper and let the concentrate drain completely (about 10-15 minutes). You may need to gently lift and tilt the container to help the last bit drain.
11. Discard Grounds (Optional): After draining, you can remove the felt filter with grounds and compost them, or let the container sit for an additional 30 minutes to extract every last drop.
12. Store & Enjoy: Cap the glass decanter and refrigerate. Your cold brew concentrate stays fresh for up to 2 weeks.

The Original & Still the Best

While dozens of cold brew makers have emerged, the Toddy remains the gold standard. Its simple, proven design has made millions of gallons of perfect cold brew since 1964.

Incredibly Smooth & Low-Acid

The cold water extraction eliminates 67% of the acids found in hot coffee, resulting in a naturally sweet, smooth brew that won't upset sensitive stomachs or cause acid reflux.

Cost-Effective

One batch of Toddy cold brew costs approximately $8-12 (depending on coffee choice) and yields 14+ servings—that's less than $1 per cup versus $4-6 at coffee shops.

Concentrate Convenience

Make cold brew once and enjoy it for up to 2 weeks. Perfect for busy mornings—just pour, dilute, and go. No waiting for coffee to brew or cool down.

Versatile Brewing

Unlike iced coffee makers that only make cold drinks, Toddy concentrate works for both hot and cold beverages. Get two coffee makers in one.

Foolproof Results

The immersion method is incredibly forgiving. Unlike pour over or espresso, there's no technique to master—just combine coffee and water, wait, and strain.

Minimal Equipment

No electricity, no complicated machines, no expensive cartridges. Just simple, reliable tools that last for years.

Perfect for Entertaining

Brew a large batch before guests arrive. Serve a variety of cold brew drinks without constantly brewing fresh coffee.

Founded in 1964 by chemical engineering graduate Todd Simpson, Toddy created the cold brew category. After experiencing harsh, acidic coffee in Guatemala, Simpson developed a cold water extraction method that produced smooth, low-acid coffee.

The Toddy system quickly became the professional standard for cold brew coffee, used by coffee shops and restaurants worldwide. Over 60 years later, the original design remains largely unchanged—because when something works perfectly, there's no need to reinvent it.

Today, Toddy continues to manufacture all systems in the USA, maintaining the same quality standards that made them famous. Millions of coffee lovers have discovered that smooth, delicious cold brew doesn't require expensive equipment or complicated processes—just the simple, proven Toddy system.
