Toddy Cold Brew System - Commercial Model

Since 1964, Toddy has delighted baristas, food critics, and regular folks alike for its smooth, delicious flavour. By extracting the bitter acids and oils that other brewing methods leave behind, the Toddy Cold Brew System produces a smooth, low acid concentrate ideal for hot or iced coffee or tea.

Acclaimed in the pages of The New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, Time, and more, we invite you to enjoy the benefits of cold brew coffee for yourself. Did you know over 1,000,000 Toddy Cold Brew Systems have been sold in the last 50 years?!

The Toddy Commercial system uses its patented cold-water extraction process to produce cold-brewed liquid coffee and tea extract that offers a full-bodied, aromatic flavour profile that translates into a bold, super-smooth taste. Brew 5 lbs of your favourite coffee and you should yield approximately 2 1/2 gallons of extract.

The Toddy Maker Cold Brew commercial model is a non-electrical brewer that produces a bold, smooth [low acid] extract that is superior to powders and hot-brewed liquids in overall mixability, quality and taste.

Because of this, many connoisseurs consider the Toddy the only way to create a delicious, naturally sweet tasting cold coffee, chai or tea beverage - served over ice, or as an iced blended, latte or frozen drink. The Toddy Commercial Model is BPA Free.

Please note these are slightly older models and do not include a Commercial Model Lift.

Cold-brew coffee

The Commercial Model is designed to brew 5 pounds (or 2 kg) of coffee at a time, with a yield of 2.5 gallons (or 320oz/8L) of extract. All metric measurements, as shown in parentheses, have been adjusted to approximate equivalents, to ensure accurate ingredient ratios and simplify usage.

1. Insert one commercial filter into the nylon strainer. Put strainer and filter into brewing container with the open end facing upwards.
2. Put 5 pounds (2 kg) of coarse ground coffee into the filter.
3. Slowly pour approximately 14 quarts (11.2 L) of cool water into the open filter, making sure to saturate all the coffee grounds.
4. Tie the filter bag closed with the (included) string. The string should be tied approximately 3 inches (8 cm) from the top of the filter bag. Leave plenty of room for the coffee to move around. Tying the bag too tight will result in dry pockets in the grounds and the coffee extract will be very weak.
5. Optional: Gently massage the grounds through the strainer to assure saturation.
6. Cover with lid and let brew for 12-24 hours.
7. Drain extract into Toddy storage decanters or other suitable storage container and refrigerate. If grounds block spigot, gently move grounds from in front of spigot. Yield: 2.5 gallons (8 L).
8. Disposal/clean-up: Lift grounds and filter from brewing container using a strainer. Dispose of filter and grounds (caution: filter is fragile when wet and subject to tearing). Rinse strainer and air dry for reuse.

Cold-brew tea

The Commercial Model is designed to brew 2 pounds (or 1 kg) of tea at a time, with a yield of approximately 2 gallons (or 256oz/8L) of extract. All metric measurements, as shown in parentheses, have been adjusted to approximate equivalents, to ensure accurate ingredient ratios and simplify usage.

1. Insert one commercial filter into the nylon strainer. Put strainer and filter into brewing container with the open end facing upwards.
2. Put 2 pounds (1 kg) of your favourite loose leaf tea into the filter.
3. Slowly pour approximately 10 quarts (10 L) of cool water into the open filter, making sure to saturate all the tea.
4. Tie the filter bag closed with the attached string. The string should be tied approximately 3 inches (8 cm) from the top of the filter bag. Leave plenty of room for the tea to move around. Tying the bag too tight will result in dry pockets in the tea, which will cause the tea extract to be weak.
5. Optional: Gently massage the tea leaves through the strainer to assure saturation.
6. Cover with lid and let brew for 12 hours.
7. Drain extract into Toddy storage decanters or other suitable storage container and refrigerate. Yield should be approximately 2 gallons (8 L). For Cold Brewed Iced Tea, mix 1 quart (1 L) of tea extract with 7 quarts (7 L) water. Yields: 2 gallons (8 L)
8. Disposal/clean-up: Lift wet tea and filter from brewing container using a strainer. Dispose of the filter and tea (caution: filter is fragile when wet, and subject to tearing). Rinse strainer and air dry for reuse.
