Cold brewing as a brewing method is growing in popularity as a way to make smooth coffee with less acidity. The Toddy Cold Brew is our accessible choice to cold brewing, and here’s how to get it done:
- Insert the stopper into the outside bottom of the brewing container.
- Dampen the disc-shaped felt filter and insert it into the inside bottom of the brewing container.
- Open the top of your paper filter bag and place the bag into the brewing container. Measure out and pour 340g of coarse-ground coffee into the bag. Our ‘Ground for Plunger’ option on our product packs is perfect.
- Measure and pour 7 cups of water into the bag. Stir the coffee grounds gently with a spoon or spatula to ensure saturation.
- Steep your coffee grounds at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours to create a smooth, rich flavor.
- Place the brewing container on top of the glass decanter. Remove the stopper and let your coffee concentrate flow.
- Remove and discard paper filter and coffee grounds. Coffee concentrate will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
When serving, start with 1 part coffee concentrate, 3 parts water, milk, or soy. Pour over ice for smooth iced coffee, or stir in steaming water for a gentle hot coffee. Our full-bodied bitter-free blends work great both ways, so let your tongue guide the way.

I already have a cold brew system but I have heard your coffee is the ultimate! Was wondering which grind I should order?
Our ‘Ground for Plunger’ option is coarsely ground, making it suitable for most cold brewers. Definitely works well for the Toddy Cold Brew
Hi!
I have a 1.5L cold brew system! I just brought 2x 200g bags and wanted to know how much coffee you would suggest using?
Our recipe above uses a ratio of 340g of grounds to 7 cups (or 1.65L) of water. If you’re using the Toddy then our recommendation is to start by trying that ratio then adjust as you like. If you’re using a different cold brewer this recipe should still be a good starting point, but what’s ideal can vary depending on what you’re working with.
