FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: How much concentrate will my Toddy system produce each batch?
A: If you are brewing 12 ounces of coffee, it should yield approximately 45 fluid ounces (1.3 L) 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: 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: My market doesn’t sell coffee in 12 oz. sizes. Can I brew a full pound? Can I brew 250 g?
A: Yes. To brew one pound (16 oz.) of coffee, increase the amount of water added to the grounds to 9 cups. Please note: The brewing container will be very full, so use caution not to overflow. This recipe will yield a stronger concentrate so increase your dilution prior to serving. Brew 250 g of coffee with 1.4 L of water.
For quick reference, use a 1 to 5.5 metric ratio where for every gram of coffee, use 5.5 mL of water. Or use a 1 to 5.33 US Standard ratio where for every ounce of coffee, use 5.33 fluid ounces of water.

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: 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 use traditional paper filters in my Toddy system?
A: No, the Toddy Cold Brew System requires specially designed felt and paper filters.

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 2 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.

Q: What else can I make with the concentrate from my Toddy Cold Brew System?
A: We’re delighted to introduce a unique collection of food and beverage recipes using cold-brewed coffee and tea. Please see our exclusive recipes online at ToddyCafe.com.
