Description
Cold brew coffee has been around for centuries, but the Toddy style Cold Brew System has played an integral part in the modern craze surrounding the beverage. The orginal device was invented in the 1960s by Todd Simpson after he encountered cold brew on a visit to Peru. Once it hit the U.S., the Toddy grew in popularity because it allowed coffee lovers to easily make cold brews right from home.
The design has changed very little over the years. The Toddy is comprised of a large plastic container that sits atop a glass decanter. To use, let coffee grounds and water soak in the plastic container for the recommended time, place the container on the decanter, and release a small silicone stopper to fill the decanter with your fresh cold brew.
Our product tester wrote that the “setup requires close attention the first time around” and may be trickier than that of other cold brew makers. However, the review was largely positive aside from this critique.
Our reviewer added that cleanup is easy because all of the pieces detach and are dishwasher-safe, except for the filter. They also praised the coffee’s flavor, calling it “very strong, yet smooth” and noted that a “single batch lasted a long time.”
