By Far this is the best product to brew coffee with. I discovered how to do this when buying coffee from our local roaster. I recommend this to anyone who loves a smooth rich cup of joe.
Using fresh ground dark roast coffee beans does make a difference. I am trying a second cold brew with the same ground coffee beans we just used. The end product is smooth, rich and tasty. I liked the cold brew results so well I drank it black - normally I add milk to my coffee. If it works we have doubled our yield. So far - I would recommend this product and am glad we purchased it ourself.
If u like cold or hot coffee this is the way to go. it can be added to the whole pot or just to a cup. after making your coffee, i suggest u put some Vanilla Extract in the pot and let it sit. (a friend goes to mexico and gets the mexican vanilla, says its the best, but i just used what ever i had in cabinet) A friend works for a coffee shop in New Orleans and they say this is 'there' little secret. if u put it in the whole mixture use about a teaspoon, or just a splash in ur cup. Enjoy.
After discovering this coffee maker, I can no longer drink my office-made coffee, and I drive right past the Starbucks every morning. Get ready for the best coffee you've tasted. My wife's friend gave this to us a few years ago, and I snickered at the idea of cold brewed coffee. I drink my coffee black, so sugar and milk cannot hide imperfections in my cup. We've discovered a brand from Louisiana that we love, and that our grocer carries in one pound bags. My wife made a pot anyway and it was fabulous.
There are some still out there, however. No more metalic/burnt taste from home coffee makers. To make the best coffee, you need to find a full pound bag of coffee - when you look at the grocery or coffee store (or internet), you'll be surprised to discover how few manufacturers still use a pound. The coffee has a vastly better flavor than with traditional heat-source coffee makers. Layers upon layers of flavor. Look closely.
You can make with less than a pound of coffee, but it requires a little bit of guesswork as to how much water to use.If you love coffee, then you will not regret trying the Toddy cold brew coffee maker.
We have tried decaf and it is just as good. I agree that there should be a lid to put on it but aside from that the coffee you get is so smooth and wonderful I could never go back to drip coffee. I have recommended it to several friends. We are hooked. I really like the fact that it is less acid. Try it you will like it. It is worth the little extra that you have to pay.
