Put the rubber stopper in the bottom of the brew container (pull into place from the inside of the container).  Put the filter in place inside the container.  Pour in the coffee (coarse ground, not fine).  Fill the brew container with cold water (the container is sized to brew 1 lb. of coffee at a time).  Set aside for at least 12 hours.  Carefully remove the rubber stopper while holding above the glass container and drain the brew container into the glass storage container.  Mix the coffee concentrate with hot water or frothed milk (1 part concentrate to 3 parts water of milk is approximately normal strength).  Clean-up hint:  (1) after the brew container is fully drained and while it is still sitting upright on the glass container, (2) slip a kitchen trash bag over the brew container, (3) flip the brew container so that the spent coffee empties into the trash bag and (4) rinse the empty container in the sink.

 

Our comments:  This is the only way to prepare coffee!  No bitter taste.  The concentrate will keep for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.  Buy "The Toddy Coffee Maker" from Toddy Products, 1206 Brooks Street, Houston, Texas 77009 (713) 225-2066 ... or on Amazon.
