Cotton Cold Brew Coffee Filter Bag - Mason Jars & Toddy System 1-Pack Large

This bag is awesome. It fits perfectly in my Toddy Cold Brewer. It's less wasteful than the Toddy paper filters, and it's very consistent. I use it in combination with the Toddy filter so I have really clean coffee. It makes everything about the process easier. First, you can easily soak the grounds and stir them around (you don't have to worry about a clogged filter from stirring.) I have also found that it keeps the grounds better submerged, and if it "floats" too much, you can just use it like a giant teabag and kinda dunk it up and down to make sure everything is fully soaked. Once your coffee is brewed, pul the plug and watch your Toddy drain faster than you've ever seen it before. The felt filter will only be responsible for catching the fine grounds and a few strays that made it out of the bag, which makes it drain better and more consistently, as well as increasing the life of the felt filter (Toddy normally recommends changing them after ten uses, but I can get more than that out of them using in combination with this bag.) Clean up is easy - I just squeeze out the excess liquid, and then flip it inside out over my compost bin. Then I rinse it out and let it dry. Some tips: If the bag gets dirty, wash it with some gentle soap (dish is fine, but something gentler and that doesn't leave any residue, like Charlie's Soap or a castile based soap is preferable.) If you want it SUPER clean, soak it in some oxiclean (I'd recommend saving this for a once every 10 or 20 uses type of "deep clean", or when you start thinking the residue will mess up your brew.) Do not leave the edges of the bag hanging over the edges of the cold brewer - the bag will act as a wick and you will end up with coffee all over your counter. I made this mistake once. Tie the bag up and leave it fully contained in the cold brewer like a big ol teabag. Another cool thing is the bag is 100% cotton (organic too, but that buzzword doesn't really matter), except for the drawstring. So, once this thing wears out, you can pull the drawstring out, cut it into strips and compost it. Very eco-friendly. Coffee is already kinda a wasteful luxury when you think about it, so I'd prefer to be as "green" about the rest of the process as possible. Additionally, you will save money using this, because you will go through fewer Toddy felt filters, you will get more liquid coffee out of your grounds, and you won't buy any paper bag filters. All in all , great product, buy it. Would recommend to a friend (I actually have already.)

When I first reviewed, my headline was Great Quality Bag! I'm revising to the best on the planet because after over 3 months of use it still washes up beautifully and makes the cold brewing process easy and graceful. Just ordering my second one now as back up, since I love it so. Do yourself a favor and buy the 2 pack to save money in the long run! When I received the filter bag I was surprised by its light weight but after using it I'm thrilled! It's strong, filters out the grinds perfectly and because it isn't bulky, it works really well and easily. After using it I rinse it in cold water, then wash it under cold water and give a final rinse in hot water. This bag is much more efficient than the regular nut milk bags I've been using which are thicker material. This filler bag is perfect for cold brewing. I've been making cold brew for years using the filter bags I was familiar with. So grateful I found this product designed for cold brew! I'm sure there are other ways to make cold brew- I do it this way- I put the coffee in a wide mouth half gallon mason jar and let it sit about 24 hours. Then I put the filter bag into another jar and pour the cold brew into the bag. No fuss, no muss, just pull out the bag, let it drain a minute and Its done. Love my cold brew and this bag. Thanks, Dobbleltree!

This is exactly what I was looking for but didn't know it. I kept looking at various cold brew systems but I could just never make myself pull the trigger. First, they didn't make that much at one time and second, I had plenty of very serviceable containers to use to brew the coffee. I saw this on another site and immediately ordered it. It is perfect. I can make as little or as much as I want using my own containers. It is so easy. You just put the coarsely ground coffee in the bag, close it up and submerge it in water and let it go. The next day you have perfect cold brewed coffee. No grounds get out. It makes the best cold brewed coffee I have ever had. It is super easy to clean and dries quickly so you can use it over and over. You can even travel with it. The only thing I would suggest to the company is to use recyclable packing material and covering for the bag. I highly recommend this.

This is truly perfect. I started out making cold brew using cheesecloth and later moved on to mesh bags intended for making nut milk. Both of those methods left more coffee grain behind than I cared for, requiring extensive filtering afterward. This cloth bag is truly perfect. Truth be told, it would be very easy to make my own since I have both a sewing machine and basic sewing skills, but I decided to order this anyway given its reasonable cost and I’m not at all disappointed. There is zero residue left at all after brewing and the taste is amazing.

I bought this two years ago and have been using it constantly since it’s a really great purchase very good value for the money in terms of reusability. It’s fine after a wash in the sink works very well and the cold brew produces tastes awesome.

I use this product to strain yogurt to make greek yogurt. Works as intended and cleans easily, the drawstring is a nice addition and is sewn well. It is a bit pricey though, so I'm not ordering another one. Probably cheaper to buy organic cotton and sew bags yourself but who has time for that?

My friend suggested this bag and I wasn’t so certain about it. However after the first use and I drank my ice cold glass of cold brew- I fell in love. The quality of my cold brew just went up tenfold in my opinion. I definitely recommend turning the bag inside out before filling with coffee grounds so that the grounds don’t get caught up in the inner lining (saw a recommendation below). Easy to clean- I just apply a little soap with my hand and scrub under warm water and allow to air dry. The bag is so thin that it allows easy filtration of coffee to water. Pure drink and quenches my absolute caffeine addict drive. Highly recommend.

Oh my word this bag is a game changer! I’ve been making cold brew for about a year, and had been straining it through cheesecloth in a strainer...I loved the coffee, but dreaded the straining and clean up. Plus I always ended up with a bunch of coffee sludge at the bottom of my pitcher. With this bag, I have significantly less sludge, insanely easy clean up, and I get more coffee because I don’t loose as much liquid in the straining process. I was a little nervous about how well it would do with the super fine espresso ground coffee, but it has done great! I got this for my birthday in July and love it more and more every time I use it. I love it so much I bought one for my BFF and fellow cold brew lover for Christmas. The bag has gotten a little stained, but it doesn’t bother me, because I’m only using it for coffee. I dump the used grounds in the trash, rinse any residual grounds off in the sink, and then flip it inside out and wash it in the washing machine. I’ve been air drying it since I wasn’t sure I wanted dryer sheet residue mixed in my coffee, but it’s no big deal and drys fast. The large bag is plenty big and will hold more than a pound of coffee. 100% recommend.
