    I’ve used the toddy for a few years and love it. I use a ratio of 400g coffee to 2l of water. I then dilute it 1 part coffee to 2 parts water or milk.

    I've had the Hario for a few years now. The toddy looks like it would make amount of cold brew that would be more ideal for the amount that we drink, just can't go past the convenience of the Hario and fridge space 🤙🏾

    I like to use the Hario filter in a tall glass of water after using it to extend the cold brew amounts.

    I use the Toddy after my Hario got dropped. I find cleaning the fabric filters easy, i give it a good rinse and every couple of brews I soak them in a glass with some Cafetto Evo for a bit and they come up nice and clean.

    The Hario is the same as The one from the Country Line Store using a mason jar in which I had use. This one left some grounds in the bottom (not much), but for me it is very annoying. I also have the Toddy, for now I prefer the Toddy. I can dilute this by glass if I prefer. It really does not leave grounds behind. I have drank the Toddy straight "NOT MY JAM." I have added milk, cream. and sugar upon that it was great With the Toddy I used 3 cups of coarse ground, this made it too strong. I like to say "A Chest Buster." Next time I will try 2 cups.

    I have to side with the Toddy as I prefer paper filter. The old Today's didn't come with that lid so you have to use a plate or cling wrap. The paper bags are a big improvement over just the fabric filter.
    I've also found to clean the fabric filter, much like puck screens and cloth filters, soak them in some espresso cleaner and then give it a real good rinse. In the Queensland summer sun it will dry in no time.
    Out of curiosity do Toddy sell that lid for it's older customers?

    • @AlternativeBrewing

      Thanks for sharing! Yeah the paper filtration is a bonus and makes better coffee than the Hario for sure. Good point.
      I do not believe they sell these separately unfortunately ! :(

    Wuld you be able to tell me what the width of the hario is? I dont much prefer the glass (breakable life situation and work) but I have a simliar sized thing that might slot nicely.

    I have used the Toddy method of coffee brewing off and on since the mid-1970s. I got out of the habit over several house moves with the loss of plug and filter, and am now thinking of taking it up again. Never used a grinder, just bought already ground coffee available at the grocery, so not coarse ground, probably fairly fine ground. Never used a paper bag. That must have been added on later, and I can't help but think that paper must do something unpleasant to the final flavor, considering how paper is made. If I ever decide to have something in the brewing chamber to hold the grounds it will likely be a linen or cotton drawstring bag, that I will put in the laundry with everything else that needs washing. As to the filter plug, which in the USA is made of felted, not woven material, I will just pop it into the dishwasher as I used to do all the time when I was doing Toddy. The ratio I got was a 1:8 for what to me was the ideal concentration, using 454 grams of ground coffee with just shy of 2 Liters of cold water, brewed at room temperature over 24 hours. Between myself and my husband, lasted 1 week. Never had a lid, so will likely just use a plate to keep the brew protected from dust.

      So good! Thanks for sharing! and love the raw material filters and plug for re-using 🙌 great way to do it

    Literally both can brew similar cold brew. The only advantage of Toddy lies in the capacity.
    But I rarely make cold brew due to the lower extraction when using cool water, resulting in wastage.

    Can you talk to the grinder and grind size you used?

    • @AlternativeBrewing
      @AlternativeBrewing  4 місяці тому

      Hey - so I've used a medium to coarse grind. You'll want to grind it yourself or get someone to grind it for you., To my knowledge there's no supermarket that sells ground coffee for cold brew. Which grinder you use is really up to you. Coarse grinds for cold brew - want to be ground by a ceramic or steel burr grinder - and not a Blade / spice grinder 👌 that's really about it

      @@AlternativeBrewing I’m using the DF64 gen 2 with DLC espresso burrs. Just followed your recipe on your video so we will see if I used the right grind setting. On the DF64 gen 2, I was at grind setting 78 and noticed that my lid was moving open and the grind setting opened up to like 82 after I was done grinding all those beans.

    I find it mildly funny it doesn't have that "put on lid and it opens the drain" those have been around in various ways since the 90s at least. Tea tech and all. That would make that unplugging a bit less weird. Imagine slipping and dropping that drain plug into the decanter

    ALL SUCH SILLINIESS! OK I use a .10c VOSS glass bottle, large, add good water and ground coffee, shake and let it brew over night. Next morning, run it through an AEROPRESS, makes 2 good size mugs of coffee.

    @manuelester3035 4 місяці тому

    I don't know where you got your dilution math from 😂 if the toddy is 1:6 and the hario is 1:10, then you need to add less than 1 part water per 1 part coffee to get to the same strength.

    • @AlternativeBrewing
      @AlternativeBrewing  4 місяці тому +1

      You're absolutely right! DW my math was triple-checked - and was pointing me towards 25-30ml. IRL this was way off for flavour experience. I kept trying until 70ml cold brew to 80ml water to get a similar flavour experience to the 1:10. This is a very limited experiment though and may not work across the board 🫶

      Another advantage of the Toddy: as it’s a two piece brewer, you can brew your next batch while still drinking the current one. That’s huge, as the long brew times, would mean getting a second Hario, or going without for the 24 hour brew period. ‘Course, I guess you could empty the Hario into mugs/glasses, whatever, and start brewing right away for the next day…. Never mind.

      Can the mizudashi be airtight closed or the air in the fridge is allowed to interract with coffee?
