Medium. Basically zero acidity. I used 8oz coffee and 4.5 cups water. I'm going to keep up with how much concentrate is measured out to estimate my total yield.Originally posted by Scrumhalf View PostTurbo, glad to hear you like it. Did you try the light of the medium roast?
Make sure you seal the bag shut and push the air out through the valve.

it's been a great purchase. it was a $200 system and she ended up getting some sort of manufacturers coupons and sales etc...long story short, went to kohls that morning and well you read the thread:weights:Originally posted by Turbo3000 View PostI see. I looked at the ninja and I think it is a great system. It would probably be fine for my needs. It is more of a brew over ice than a cold brew, but I doubt my palate could truly discern a difference. I got the toddy system to try because it was $31 vs $110+ for the ninja. I was also trying to limit counter takeover. I hate stuff out in the kitchen.
i mean we are going through about 1.5lbs of coffee a week lol

it's a good drink to walk around with. i carry my gym bag with me that has my other water bottles in there. but usually i'll finish the cold brew like halfway through training. try it, i bet you'll like it...i also like having coffee breath in the morning:D

Drinking during workout seems like a good idea. I might do a 1:3 ratio and drink it during.

Didn't a 1:2:1 mix of coffee concentrate:water:milk and poured over ice. It was fantastic. Extremely smooth.
I think I'll do a 1:1 mix of concentrate:water in the AM before gym.
Going to do a batch using regular grocery store coffee to taste the difference. I think the fact that the beans were roasted a couple of days ago contributed a lot to the smoothness. I think cold brew works best for my lifestyle. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house. I like having the option of having a cold or hot beverage. I can keep it brewed and ready in the refrigerator.

And the results after 20 hours. Taste test later today or tomorrow morning as pre workout.

Arrived.
And here goes my $40 experiment. The toddy will be returned if I don't love it. I'll then purchase a stainless steel French press.

That's my point and the coffee taste is so good. I will get some other kind to try.Originally posted by Turbo3000 View Post2.5lbs for 16. That is a deal.
I didn't notice my final total last night. Just checked my receipt... 2 8oz bags for 22 all in. Should last me awhile. The wife doesn't drink coffee.
