Reusable Cold Brew Coffee Bag 2-Pack Large 12x12in Cotton Toddy Compatible

I have tried making cold brew using an expensive metal filter with chain, and a great deal of sludge and grounds would seep out. I tried adding paper filters to the metal one, but it didn't help. I even tried the white nutmilk bags, and the coffee grounds would migrate into the seams as well as leaving sludge behind. Then I saw these filters and thought I would give them a try. I have been amazed how such a simple design can work so well. First, I have no sludge or grounds in my coffee when I brew it. Second, I love the quality and design. The seams are on the outside, so very little of the coffee grounds ever end up in the seams. The material holds up extremely well, and the bag rinses out quickly and dries quickly. The drawstring is of high quality as well. I use an old 80 ounce pickle jar to make my cold brew coffee. I put the bag inside the jar with the top draped over the mouth of the jar. Then I add my coarse ground coffee, pour water in to fill the jar, stir the coffee in the bag, pull up the drawstring to close the bag, wrap the drawstring around the top of the bag and loop the end under one of the circles around the top of the bag, and then set it in the refrigerator until the next morning. At that point I remove and rinse the bag, and I put the brewed coffee in a glass pitcher in the refrigerator - and delicious, non-acid tasting coffee is ready for several days. I surely wish I had found this item first, before wasting money on other, less useful filters.

I've used this in my Toddy system and it works great. I don't have the felt disc anymore, just rely on the bag to filter coffee grounds. Easy to rinse clean. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Update: 30 Jan 2020. Best buy ever! We've used reusable cheese bags for other filtration purposes but never thought to use it for cold brew until we got tired of clogged filters. This brand was the only one we could find that fit the Toddy Cold Brew just right. And its good, really good. It does the filtration in a a little more than a minute with hardly any residue at the bottom of the Toddy or clogged filters. We still use the filter at the bottom of the Toddy to give double; its also a habit. We use the bag about 3 times in a fortnight to make coffee. The bag can be emptied and is easy to clean. We use Dawn dish washing soap to hand rinse the bag . We also rinse it in vinegar before final wash in water, as that helps rid some of the staining. The bag does become a slightly darker shade from repeated use, but dos not affect quality or usability. (Prev)Disclaimer: it's only our first use, so cannot tell how durable it will be. We have been using the Toddy Cold brew system for a long time for our coffee, and the most frustrating thing was the filter which seemed to clog and the drip took a LOOOONG time. Also, cleaning the filter was no fun. It never felt clean enough. Came across this looking for a good quality cheesecloth/ meshbag of the size that fits into the Toddy system. Great buy. It fits perfectly into the Toddy lining it ,(first fix the stop and the filter). Follow Toddy process to brew coffee/ tea and drain by opening the stop. I loosely tied the drawstring just because it was there. No dregs, the coffee literally pours out and you have it bottled and chilling in a few minutes. Empty the bag, wash in warm water with Dawn soap and let dry. Voila, ready for next use. Cleaning the Toddy is also easier. It is also a great sustainable and cheaper option than single use filter bags. Before first use wash in warm water and dry.

I've been using an almond nut milk bag for the last two years. Filtering is a pain and I found I needed to filter twice after using the nut milk bag. I purchased this organic cotton cold brew coffee bag and it works pretty good, but not completely sludge free. Here's how it went down: I used 12oz of Peet's Major Dickson's blend whole beans. I use a burr grinder and had it set on the coarsest grind. Placed the ground coffee in the bag and cinched it up tight. Placed in a gallon container and filled with cold filtered water and sat on the counter for 24 hours. When it was finished, I noticed a small layer of sludge on the bottom of the container. I took out the filter bag and gently squeezed the bag, then dumped the grounds. Mind you, not near as much sludge when using the nut bag. I only had to filter it one time to get it perfect. I was hoping no filtering required, but that just wasn't going to be. I will say it was much easier filtering this one time than before. Another reviewer said to use a coffee filter to get the remaining sludge out, but that takes way too long. I use a cotton baking cloth folded in half in a metal strainer, works like a charm.

Impressive!!

If you want to make bold, flavorful, cold coffee, you need these bags. My wife and I love the results. Best cold coffee we've had. As an added bonus, these bags help to reduce our plastic consumption. Don't forget to thoroughly wash and dry between uses.

I love these strainers so much! I use them with my small Toddy cold brew maker and they fit perfectly. They hole the 5 cups of ground perfectly. They also block any coffee grounds from falling through too keep the cold brew smooth. They’re easy to clean and save so much money over having to purchase paper filters.

I NEVER leave reviews but I am in this case because these coffee bags are incredible. I've made the best cold brew with ease. They are super easy to clean. I have not had one single spec of coffee ground mix into the tea! I use a strainer however I don't think it's necessary. Anyways, love these coffee filters. They have held up perfectly over the last couple years.

Much more economical and less wasteful than paper filters. Work perfectly. Easy to wash and reuse.

👍🏽

Eine praktische und nachhaltige Alternative zu Einwegfiltern – klare Kaufempfehlung!

Mycket bra

I can't speak for different qualities of bags as this is the only one I've tried but it worked flawlessly first time, coffee came out silky smooth and cleanup was surprisingly easy, tip the majority of the grounds out and rinse the rest off from both sides of the fabric
