Ready to master the art of cold brew? Let’s turn coffee into the coolest drink of the year—smooth, bold, and refreshingly easy.

Here we're big fans of the Toddy Cold Brew Systems. They're user friendly and can be set up, forgotten and will give you a consistent, strong brew every time.

But if you're after something smaller check out the Hario Cold Brew Pot.

How to Use a Toddy Cold Brew System: A Cheeky Guide to Cool Coffee

  1. Prep the Plug & Filter
    Stick the rubber plug snugly into the bottom of the brewing container—don’t be shy, push it in! Then, dampen the filter and place it at the bottom. This little guy’s your MVP for keeping grit at bay.
  2. Coffee Goes First
    Dump in half your coarse-ground coffee (about 170 g). Yes, half. Hold your horses—we’re layering here.
  3. Add Water Like a Pro
    Pour in 1 cup of cold water in a circular motion. Feel fancy yet? Wait 30 seconds for a little bloom action.
  4. Repeat the Layers
    Add the rest of the coffee, then slowly pour in 3 more cups of cold water. Do not stir—seriously, hands off! Let gravity work its magic.
  5. Let It Sit (Patience is a Virtue)
    Cover the container and let it steep for 12–24 hours. Overnight works great unless you’re feeling dangerously caffeinated already.
  6. Release the Elixir
    Place the brewing container over the glass decanter, remove the plug, and let the coffee drip down like liquid gold. This is your moment. Bask in it.
  7. Serve It Cool
    Mix your concentrate with water, milk, or however you like. Ice it up and sip like the summer royalty you are.

Optional: Store leftovers in the fridge, but let’s be real—they won’t last long.
