Next morning your unplug the bottom and let the coffee drain into a carafe. It is delicious, and like 40% less acid than hot brewed. Best part: you get 48 oz of concentrated coffee that you can put in the cooler for 2 weeks with no degradation to taste. Just mix it with hot water or microwave. The good hotels are all making this stuff now. Google Toddy and go to the site. I can appreciate the serious nature of our coffee worship!

Jayme is a big coffee drinker... me only on occasion. She uses a Toddy and really likes it a lot. She has a lot of experience with brewing coffee as she was the manager of a (good) coffee shop for several years... not starf*ckers. The coffee lasts a good week in the fridge. I prefer the iced coffee over hot during the summer and it is WAY easier on the stomach because of the lower acid content. Vote Toddy '08!!!!!
