has anyone used this to make cold brew coffee?

I have not. I think if you used coffee grinds with this strainer, most of the coffee would sift right through the netting. You'd probably need something in between the coffee and strainer (such as a paper one used in drip coffee machines?). Good luck!

I have never tried the Toddy. This is my first Cold brew pot and its definitely very handy. I put 80 grams of coffee or whatever preference of concentration. Fill up the pot with water and its ready the next day.

I've never tried cold stuff in it, but it keeps my coffee hot for a LONG time. I've had coffee in it from the morning, and it is still hot late afternoon/early evening.

Maybe if you used a very coarse grind of coffee (to keep it from getting through the mesh) you could pull it off, but my hunch is that the coffee would be weak and not nearly as tasty as drip. I have tried several different devices for brewing a "single cup" of coffee and, by far, the best I've found is the Aerobie Coffee Press, available from Amazon for $26. The Aerobie Press brews the best coffee I have ever tasted anywhere (if you buy good quality beans and follow the instructions carefully), as the 1400 glowing Amazon reviews of the device will attest.

no! I use VERY fine ground coffee (I like it strong) and the strong brew setting for 6 six 3-4 minutes max. 13 minutes crazy!

Yes, I have done that several times. Works well, I also use it without anything in it and use the hot water to make hot chocolate, tea and instant coffee.

I would use it, remembering that it is espresso, of course. I have used it to make iced coffee, like a Frappuccino to fortify weakly brewed coffee.

Hello Chenyi, This coffee pot was intended for cold use only. The reason being that the fine mesh filter soaks in the water to infuse a concentrated flavor. If you buy a coffee press, this is intended for hot coffee but can be used for cold. The press is the ultimate for hot coffee, and the cold brew Japanese method for cold.

I'm sorry but I have never used this product to make tea, only cold-brewed coffee.

Cold water cannot be used as it won't extract the coffee from the beans like hot water. Ideal water temp for brewing is a few degrees below boiling. Cold water extraction requires many hours and is best done in a different vessel.

Yes and it's really easy to do. I really love this BrewStation. It makes the best coffee and it keeps the coffee hot....

I don't have a percolator anymore (my favorite coffee brewer) but suspect the answer is yes. I'm using Mr Coffee drip coffee maker and just put the tablet in the empty basket and run through the cycle. I then run the brew cycle twice more with nothing in the basket, does a great job.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring yourcoffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

Yes, Caleb. You can put cold water in the coffee maker, just the same way as you do when making coffee, and it will boil the water. My daughter uses an old one just for that purpose, because she does parties for a powdered coffee, that you just add hot water to.

Sorry, I have not tried it that way. I've only used a regular coffee maker with mine. I guess experiment is next.

No it does not brew cold coffee straight out of the machine. It needs to be brewed over a cup of ice. They do have discs made specifically for iced coffee. I think they are stronger than using just a regular coffee disc.

I've never tried. I was given a smaller one and got tired of having to do multiple brews so purchased the bigger one. I will say, DO NOT wash in the dishwasher. My favorite cup of coffee tho. I use it every day. Best tasting coffee.
