While the usual coffee gear was running through the dishwasher, I dumped some too-fine grounds into the French press and put it in the fridge over night. It was mild (less acidic) yet strong. Jury is still out…

Cold water processed? Interesting, I'll have to try that one of these days. I've also considered getting a gebana for very social coffee events, but have been spending money elsewhere instead. It might be good to try with these various Ethiopian coffees.

Yep, Coffee Toddy is the first commercial coffee maker to use the Dutch cold water process. There are rumors that the method was also used in Peru, but in any case, folks are mixed when it comes to their preference for cold processed coffee. I agree that it would probably be best used in iced drinks, or perhaps desert coffee.

I tried some of that cold-brewed stuff at my parents’ place. He called it Toddy coffee and it was really smooth, but almost too much so, lacking in acidity. But it’s still a decent cup, especially for iced coffee.
