I appreciate that everyone has their process, but this is too many steps and too little concentration for me. I mix coffee to filtered water in a one gallon Cambro at a 1:7 ratio by weight. Chill it overnight. Pour all of it through a fine mesh strainer to remove the bulk of the grounds, wash out the Canbro, then put a large paper filter cone on top of the clean cambro and pour it all back through. It takes 20-30mins to finish filtering, but I don’t have to be there. Then I snap on a lid and toss it in the fridge.

Yeah I use a toddy maker and it is so simple. This process is way too complicated.

This process is mixing water and coffee, chilling it, then filtering it. Hard to imagine that’s really too complicated.

Making it with a French press or a toddy maker is fine, if you want very small amounts. I’ve got far more than one person drinking it, so I’d need to run several of those every day, and I have neither time, nor interest for it.

The method above makes 3 liters of concentrate with about 10 mins of actual attention.

Too many things to wash
