The FN did a show in New Orleans and wound up at the Blue Bottle where they showcased their coffee drip apparatus. Basically they dripped water at 88 drops per minute into a container that held the ground beans. The coffee flowed/dripped out the bottom, so no long soak. It was like Walters laboratory from Breaking Bad.

Over 12 hours that comes to around a gallon of juice. I forget the actual time they used but it was more that 12 and less that 24 hours.

I just thought I’d point out a different technique.

Thanks for keeping this post up. I found it trying to figure out how to rework my cafe du monde, which just tasted horrible from my dripmaker. I used my old french press to cold brew all night. This morning, I added raw cream to the bottom of my coffee cup, plunge the FP and poured coffee about half way in the cup. It tasted wonderful for iced coffee! But I added 1 cup warmed water and it tastes perfect for warmed coffee too! Thanks for everyone’s comments… even if I am a little late in finding the post… And using the FP was brilliant! Easy easy easy!

I’ve used the toddy cold brew about every 2-3 weeks for years with Cafe du Monde or CDM coffee with chicory. It makes a wonderful dark brew. Try diluting the concentrate with half water and half almond milk. With a little sweetener, this is Yum. As far as filtering, the only problem I ever had was when hubbie stirred the batch when setting it up. According to the Toddy instructions, this causes the finest grounds to settle and clog the filter. Other than that, make sure you run plenty of water through the filter after use, preferably in the opposite direction that the coffee was filtered through.

I’ve been purchasing cold brew by the quart at Cash and Carry, a formerly wholesale food outlet, now open to the public in Salem, OR. It tastes great but I think I’ll try my hand at a home cold brew! Thanks for the info!

I’m so excited to see a post about coffee concentrate! I’m addicted to Cool Brew and it’s so much cheaper than going to starbucks every day. they even have decaf.

Tip: If you want a sweeter version add a teaspoon or more of sweetened condensed milk! it’s so tasty!

My French Market Coffee doesn’t drain into the glass decanter. I used the thick felt filters that came with the Toddy. I tried stirring, but that didn’t help. How can I get the coffee strained?
