Cold Brew
Cold brew or cold press? Either way, cold brewing yields a super-smooth, utterly tasty coffee concentrate.

Time To Make The Coffee
How We Brew
- Toddy Cold Brewer
- 12 oz bag ofΒ Yeti Cold Brew BlendΒ ground Extra Coarse
- 8 cups (2 quarts) of filtered water
You Brew You
- If you donβt have a Toddy brewer, you can make cold brew in a large resealable glass jar or just about any food-safe container that you can cover tightly.
Step 1: Prep Toddy Brewer
- Insert the stopper into the bottom of the brewing container from below.
- Wet the felt filter and insert it into the bottom of the brewing container from inside.
Step 2: Add Coffee
- Pour the 12 oz. bag of Yeti into the Toddy Brewer.
For 1 lb of coffee, the instructions remain the same, simply substitute 72 fl oz (9 cups) of water
Step 3: Add Water
- Add the water in two steps, letting the coffee bloom after each addition. As always, the focus is on making sure that all of the grounds are saturated,
- DO NOT STIR (stirring can result in a clogged filter)
- If there are still dry grounds on the top, gently press them below the surface with the back of a spoon.
- Cover with a lid and steep in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours.
Step 4: Release the Brew!
- Remove the stopper and let your coffee concentrate flow into the glass decanter. This step typically takes between 10-20 minutes depending on your brewer.
- Store the concentrate for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
Step 5: Pour and Enjoy!
- Since this is a concentrate, mix your intended beverage 1:1 with water, milk, or your preferred liquid.
- Enjoy your glass of scientific magic and marvel atΒ lifeβs mysteries.
- We prefer to drink our Yeti cold brew in the sunshine with our morningΒ muesli.

Toddy Cold Brew Maker
Beauty Takes Time
The Toddy Maker is the secret to the rich, smooth, cold brew we crave every summer β and love just as much all year long. Brewing without hot water and using a thick felt filter creates a silky coffee concentrate thatβs naturally lower in acidity than hot-brewed coffee.
Pour it over ice on warm days, warm it up when the weather cools, or mix it into your favorite coffee drinks whenever the craving hits. Keep the concentrate in the fridge for up to 14 days, though we wonβt blame you if it disappears faster.
Our Yeti Cold Brew Blend was specially designed for this brewing method. Check out our Cold Brew GuideΒ to get started.

Yeti
Rich and refreshing, Yeti was made for the cold! Cold brew needs acidity and bitterness turned way down. We did it without flattening flavor. This brings lovely milk chocolatey flavors and huge intense body that can stand up to whatever milks, flavors and mix-ins you can conjure.
