ToddyTHMPF20 Toddy Paper Filter Bags, Home Model Filters, Natural, Pack of 20

These bags are wonderful. The coffee drains quickly. When I was using just a filter, it might take an hour to drain completely. The grounds are easily disposed of, too. No mess.

The media could not be loaded. My inlaws convinced me to buy the whole Toddy system, so I bought one. But YIKES! It's way more complex than it needs to be. All you really need is these filters--WAY easier and cheaper than using the whole system (see instructions below). With the full system, I was tired of worrying about the woolly bottom filter (which can leak coffee grounds and always looks dirty with embedded coffee grounds); the rubber bottom stopper (which can get lost--I had to re-purchase them); messy clean-up of grinds (which is time-consuming); and complex procedures (that you have to remember how to do).Here's the EASIER, CHEAPER way using JUST these filters:1) Fill the filter bag with a whole package of ground coffee and sit it in a container (a pot or pitcher will do, as long as the water you pour in next rises high enough in the container to saturate the coffee in the filter).3) Pour 7 cups of water into the filter bag with the coffee and let the bag sit in the pot for about 10 hours (or however long you would normally brew). It can sit inside or out of the frig. Don't worry about the grounds falling out--the bag will just sit there in the right position once it's wet.4) After brewing, lift the filter bag up out of the pot and squeeze it so all the coffee juice is out of it into the pot (or just let it pour out).5) Throw away the filter bag with the coffee grinds. Pour the coffee from your pot into a pitcher of some sort.Easy, right?Now, here's the COMPLEX way to do it (how the Toddy system works and why we no longer use it):1) First, the Toddy system requires you to grind your coffee coarsely (so, we got a coffee grinder) unless you buy filters additionally.2) To set up the system, you first have to cover the hole in the bottom of the white tub with a woolly filter (which turns into a mess of embedded grinds and sometimes doesn't stop finely ground coffee from leaking through).3) Then you have to plug the hole under that with a rubber stopper, which will be in place while the coffee is sitting and brewing.4) Then, you pour your bag of coffee grounds into the white container and add 7 cups of water.5) After about 10 hours (or however long you want to brew), you set the white container on top of the glass pitcher to let the coffee filter through. But first you have to remove the rubber stopper--at which point the coffee starts pouring out before you can get it set onto the glass pitcher, so there's always a little bit of a mess on my end.6) Once you have the white tub sitting on top of the glass pitcher, the coffee slowly strains through the woolly filter at the bottom of the white tub into the pitcher. The woolly filter is re-usable, but you'll never get it clean, so explain to the family that it's okay for it to be dirty and to not throw it away).7) After the coffee strains through, you are left with a mess of coffee grounds in the white tub, which you get to scoop out with your hands or ladle into the trash--and then wash the tub thoroughly.Way too much of a pain. Go the easy route! These filters are great!

Order arrived quickly and well packed. Exactly what I needed for my cold brew system.

Have been making Toddy for years. These paper filters make clean up so easy, and the Toddy coffee is so smooth. Toddy coffee is the way to go.

Easier to make cold brew; easier to clean up from making cold brew. Making cold brew in my Toddy used to be a real pain: put in 1 cup of water and then 6oz of coffee and then 3 cups of water in a circle and then wait 5 minutes and then do another 6oz of coffee. Sigh. Certainly not something that I would do before work. With these bags, you just dump 12oz of coffee in this bag that lines the Toddy and then add 7 cups of water. That is it! I did my second set up this morning before work and it was so quick and easy to do. I use the bag on on my scale to measure out 12oz of coffee and put the bag into the Toddy, following up with the 7 cups of water and then twisting closed the bag. So easy. Clean up was incredibly easy, too. Essentially, you just lift out the bag! (Obviously, you would wash out the Toddy, but no more messy coffee grounds all over the place). In addition, the filter is way cleaner when using the bag and I bet you are extending its life by at least 50%. Remember to -- gently -- squeeze out the bag (without ripping it!) to get every last drop of coffee gold. I had been looking into different cold brew options because I found the Toddy process/cleaning so tiresome, but I have stopped looking because these bags make all the difference. Originally, I was skeptical about all those 5-star ratings; however, it really is a 5-star product - in spite of the cost being a tad more than I would like.

I've been using the Toddy Cold Brewing system since before it was Hip and Cool to drink cold-brew. I bought my system probably a good 10+ years ago, and it still works like a charm!On a whim, I saw these in Bed Bath & Beyond and thought I'd give it a whirl. If there is one thing about the Toddy system that can be a bit annoying, it's making sure your grounds are chunky enough not to clog the drain - something I've done unfortunately. This filter isn't 100% necessary of course, but it makes clean up MUCH easier - and I would argue, it does make the coffee just a little bit smoother!If you use the filter, the instructions recommend using 12oz instead of the normal 16oz. I've also upped the water content, based on some discussions with my local coffee shop that also has been one of the OG providers of Cold Brew - from 7cups to 8cups. Otherwise, the instructions are the same as before: use the coarsest grind, use X amount of water and let sit for 12hours minimum (sometimes I forget and end up brewing for much longer).The clean up is SO much easier; I think the filter needs to be replaced less often and the coffee is just that tiny bit smoother. Instead of having to smack and scrape out the grounds, the bag easily lifts them out.I probably make a pot of cold brew every week or every other week; I've been using these religiously and definitely plan to continue to help feed my coffee addiction.
