Cheap, simple to use and great tasting. I wanted to be able to create cold brew concentrate in a fairly decent size batch, so decided to give the Toddy system a go. A few considerations though for anyone wanting to buy 1) A full batch is 7 cups of water and 340g of coarse coffee - that's a whole (standard size) bag....so if you're hand grinding, it's a good work out, if you're on a bean budget, beware 2) you can use paper filters and/or their felt filter if you use finer grinds - i used felt only with coarse and didn't get any residue 3) it says the concentrate will stay fresh in the fridge for 2 weeks, I noticed a drop in flavour quality around day 7 and I think I got around 12 cups of coffee out of it with a ratio with water around their recommended quantities, perhaps a little stronger.
