The siphon brew style of coffee is made over a 24 hour period. We used it in our shops for nearly 20 years and it was a big hit. The Toddy Coffee Maker is a simple siphon brew method of making coffee. A course ground coffee is placed in the white container where filtered water is poured on top. The coffee/water mixture is stirred so that the water soaks into the ground coffee. Over the 24 hour period more water may be added to the white container and the coffee slurry will need to be stirred. When the 24 hours is up the coffee is drained into the glass jar through a filter and then put in the fridge. At this point the coffee is very strong concentrate. It can be served hot or cold adding filtered water to taste. The Chatz shops served this over ice in the summertime and it literally flew out the door. The beauty of this method is that the brewed coffee is extremely low in acid. This method is very popular in Japan, but may have originated in Peru.
