I was looking around but couldn't find it someone here... Rivers?
had an awesome recipe and i never got around to trying it.. you create
a thick brew and add hot water as needed for each cup - very smooth and
great taste - anyone know how to do it?

There is a cold steeper popular in Japan that does that. Maybe the
folks in alt.coffee can help you out.

Google "coffee toddy". There's a recipe for making it without the gadget at:

I've had toddy coffee, and it may have been the best coffee I ever drank.
One of these days I'll make my own and see.

Peace,

Good memory - from back in the days when we used to talk about useful
stuff around here like coffee and barbecue. The instructions that Paul
posted are pretty much what I might have posted in the past. I weighed
a cup of beans to check it out. My formula calls for 1/2 pound of
ground coffee to 3 quarts of water. This makes a concentrate that you
mix with water to taste to make normal strength coffee.

I've only used it for iced coffee (equal parts concentrate and water,
with ice) but there's no reason that it couldn't be used for hot coffee
as well, mixing it with hot water, of course.

I had "toddy coffee" in one of those fancy coffee shops once and
thought they used too much water in what they served me, and said so.
They made me another that was stronger, and better. By the way,
http://www.delocator.net/index.php will find you coffee shops near your
zip code that aren't Starbucks.

Now that Memorial Day has passed, does anyone have any good, new
barbecue stories?

I managed to keep the hot sauce off the grill this time.

It turns out that just about *any* reasonable scheme for making up
concentrated batch coffee that can be diluted for drinking, will produce a
mellower cup. Even just using too many grounds and not enough water can
work. French press and similar methodologies are probably best.

Tofu kebabs is tofu kebabs. What's new to talk about?
I, unfortunately, was stuck in a field in Kansas with not an ounce of
tofu around for miles, & the food sucked.

I have yet to fire the grill up this year. I spent memorial day rolling
tape with a band that has their own line of corsets.

It's always a good idea to have a second source of income when you're a
band (or a corset maker).

And you've just proved what I said in another thread is wrong. I guess
you don't have all your Googles blocked.

Mt brother in law Dave up in Volcano on the Big Island uses the
"Toddy" to make Cold drip coffee, and it's pretty awesome really. His
comments -

" The coffee. Well, it started when Iona got me a TODDY cold drip
coffee
maker (She says she's seen it advertised also in Real Goods catalogue).

It's a 2 quart plastic container with a recessed bottom that is about
2" in
diameter. In this recession is placed a 3/4" thick felt filter. I
grind
the coffee (It works so well that I can use the cheapest coffee
available)
to a very fine state. I cover it with a piece of coffee filter paper
held
in place by by a springy coat hanger piece that I bent into a circle
that
would fit and keep the filter and coffee from floating. Then I fill
the
rest up with water. Oh yeah, I use a lb. of coffee. It drips very
slowly
thru and into a glass decanter that receives the coffee concentrate.
It
takes about 10 hours. Then I fill the TODDY again with water for a
second
run and mix the two results. The two results are quite different.
The
first is a super smooth super concentrate that you can actually drink
straight and it will blow you away serious. The second carries some
of the
bitter dry flavor of the coffee that we are used to drinking and also I
do
this because it makes a lb. last longer around here...4 days instead of
two!
and its still 50 times smoother and better than any coffee you've ever
had.

As a side note Burger King now offers their
"premium coffee" also made from concentrate for the sake of
consistency, and has been getting good reviews as the "coffee wars"
heat up...
