Collection: Toddy

Why Choose Toddy?

Toddy is the original name in cold brew, trusted by cafés and roasteries worldwide long before cold brew became a trend. Its immersion cold‑water extraction system produces a smooth, low‑acidity coffee concentrate that keeps beautifully in the fridge and forms the base for iced coffee, nitro, signature beverages, and even hot drinks with a different sweetness profile. Designed to be simple, scalable, and forgiving, Toddy cold brew systems help Coffee Plus customers in India produce consistent cold brew at home or in a café, with minimal equipment, no electricity, and easy cleanup.

Toddy Cold Brew Systems

Toddy’s core products are its home and commercial cold brew systems, both built around the same principles: coarse‑ground coffee, long room‑temperature steep times, and dual filtration for clean, sediment‑free concentrate. The Toddy Home Cold Brew System includes a BPA‑free brewing container, reusable felt filter, silicone or rubber stopper, paper filter bags, glass decanter, and lids, giving home users everything required to brew café‑quality cold brew in weekly batches. A standard home recipe uses about 340 g of coarse coffee and roughly 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water, steeped for 12–24 hours, to yield a concentrate that can be diluted at roughly 1:3 with water or milk and kept refrigerated up to two weeks.

For businesses, the Toddy Commercial Model scales the same idea to larger volumes, typically handling 2.5 gallons (about 9.5 L) per batch for a yield of approximately 2.5 gallons of concentrate from 5 gallons brew volume, depending on recipe. Commercial kits include a durable food‑grade brewing container, heavy‑duty reusable felt filters, optional paper filters, and in newer versions a patented Toddy Lift insert that raises the grounds bed for easier draining and higher yields. A standard commercial recipe uses around 5 lbs (2.27 kg) of coarsely ground coffee and 14 quarts (13.2 L) of water, steeped 12–24 hours to produce a stable concentrate that can be refrigerated and served over ice or on tap for 1–2 weeks.

Revolutionary Technologies / Innovation

The heart of Toddy’s system is its cold‑water immersion extraction and dual‑stage filtration. By steeping coarse grounds in room‑temperature or cold water for 12–24 hours, Toddy extracts soluble compounds that contribute sweetness, body, and aromatics while leaving behind much of the acidity and bitterness that are more readily extracted at high temperatures. This results in a concentrate with a smoother, rounder profile that is easier on the palate and stomach and tastes less sharp even when served strong or over ice.

Filtration combines a reusable felt filter, which acts as a primary barrier and fines catcher, with optional paper filter bags for even cleaner, sediment‑free concentrate and easier cleanup. The felt filter’s fine fiber structure traps micro‑particles and contributes to Toddy’s characteristic silky texture and “crystalline” flavor quality that many cafés—and Blue Bottle’s widely referenced guide—praise as superior to basic immersion brewers. The optional Lift in commercial systems further improves efficiency by elevating the grounds bed for more complete drainage, increasing yield and reducing labor.

Toddy Heritage / Innovation Legacy

Toddy has been making cold brew systems since the 1960s, long before cold brew was mainstream. Founded in the United States and headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, the company has spent decades refining a single category: simple, effective equipment for producing better cold brew coffee and tea. The Toddy Home Cold Brew System became a staple in roasteries and cafés as a reliable way to produce smooth cold brew concentrate; as cold brew demand grew, Toddy expanded its line to include dedicated commercial systems scaled for cafés, restaurants, and roasteries.

That long history means Toddy’s design decisions are rooted in real café experience rather than trend‑driven experimentation. The 12–24‑hour steep recommendation, the specific felt filter construction, and the commercial batch sizes (2.5 gallons concentrate from 5 gallons brew volume) are all results of years of field use, barista feedback, and iterative improvements—not theoretical lab work alone. For Coffee Plus customers, this heritage translates into gear that has already been proven in busy operations across the world.

Why Toddy Stands Out

Compared with DIY cold brew setups or generic immersion brewers, Toddy stands out for its combination of simplicity, repeatability, and filtration quality. The system uses gravity rather than pumps or electricity, has no moving mechanical parts beyond a stopper and lift, and relies on routine felt filter maintenance—rinsing and refrigeration between uses—for ongoing reliability. That simplicity reduces points of failure, training time, and maintenance costs for cafés and makes cold brew accessible even to beginners at home.

Toddy also outperforms many alternatives in flavor stability and shelf life. Because the cold‑water extraction and dual filtration minimize sediment and oxidizable components, properly stored Toddy concentrate can maintain quality for up to two weeks in refrigeration. This is a major operational advantage: cafés can brew in off‑peak hours, then serve consistent cold brew for days; home users can brew once or twice a week and enjoy ready‑to‑drink cold coffee without daily brewing. When integrated into a Coffee Plus program, Toddy helps cafés offer high‑margin cold beverages with predictable yield and very low waste.

Who Toddy Is Perfect For

Toddy is ideal for home coffee drinkers who love cold coffee but don’t want to fuss with daily brewing or complicated gear. A single Toddy Home batch can produce enough concentrate for multiple days of iced coffee, frappé‑style drinks, or even gentle hot coffee when diluted with hot water, all without requiring precise kettle pours or expensive espresso machines. For Coffee Plus customers with limited time in the mornings, Toddy becomes a “set and forget” solution—set it up in the evening, decant the next day, and enjoy café‑style cold brew all week.

Specialty cafés, restaurants, and hotels also benefit significantly from Toddy’s commercial systems. With batch sizes up to around 9.5–11 L of concentrate, Toddy Commercial allows businesses to prepare cold brew for on‑tap service, bottled offerings, or use in signature drinks like cold brew tonics and coffee cocktails. The low acidity and smooth profile appeal to a wide range of guests, including those who normally find hot coffee too acidic, while the long shelf life reduces prep stress and product wastage.

Toddy is especially well suited to roasteries and Coffee Plus wholesale partners looking to add cold brew SKUs without investing in complex, mechanized equipment. A Toddy Commercial system integrated into a roasting or production schedule lets roasters quickly develop and standardize cold brew recipes for different origins, then package them as ready‑to‑drink products or concentrates for clients. When combined with Coffee Plus roasted coffees and cold‑brew‑focused roast profiles, Toddy becomes a reliable platform for monetizing the growing cold coffee segment.

Technical Excellence and Quality Assurance

Toddy systems use BPA‑free plastic brewing containers, high‑quality felt filters, silicone or rubber stoppers, and robust glass decanters designed to withstand the stresses of repeated brewing and cleaning cycles. Home systems are engineered for ease of disassembly and cleaning: brewing containers can be washed with warm soapy water, felt filters rinsed with hot water and stored damp in sealed bags in the refrigerator, and decanters cleaned like any other glass carafe. Commercial containers are built heavier, with reinforced walls, strong handles, and optional lifts to handle the weight of multiple liters of coffee and grounds.

Quality assurance extends beyond materials to process guidelines. Official Toddy and partner brew guides specify coarse grind size (similar to French press), specific coffee‑to‑water ratios (for example, 12 oz coffee to 7 cups water for home, 5 lbs to 14 quarts for commercial), steep time windows, and draining procedures to minimize issues like filter clogging or channeling. Following these tested parameters helps Coffee Plus customers consistently produce low‑acid, full‑bodied concentrate that tastes the way Toddy systems are known to perform.
