You're supposed to leave it on the counter for 8-12 hrs, not the fridge. Just wondering why you’re worried about the basket spilling in the fridge.

Its one of the few products that I have bought a second one after getting to keep the review model!

I have read complaints that the Toddy sits uncovered for the duration of the cold brew process. I don't need acid reduction as the coffee I use is lower in acid, but I like the idea of making up the storable liquid, and have been looking at both Toddy and Ronco. Really enjoyed your review of the Ronco. Have you also used the Toddy cold brew system, and is the Ronco easier to use?

Really enjoyed your review of the Ronco.

Most espresso machines force water under great pressure through a small portafilter creating the crema you see. So the espresso has a better extraction rate. This method using the coffeetime only uses the pressure of gravity to strain the coffee. it creates a very potent coffee concentrate, but i wouldn't put it in the same category as espresso. For an inexpensive method of creating espresso i'd try a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_(coffee_pot)" rel="nofollow">mokapot</a>, they make fantastic stovetop espresso for very little investment Hi Jerry,

And the taste is significantly smoother, without much of the bitter acid taste, even with regular folgers / maxwell house store brands To answer the last part of your question yes you can make it vary in strength by using more or less coffee.

I shifted the directions around slightly I used the plastic bottle that goes on the bottom of the machine to hold the coffee and water mixture overnight, for the brew, then i poured it into the top, rinsed the grounds out of the bottom piece and placed it back in so the mixture could filter. I'm not sure of the final ratio but i did find out slightly more coarse coffee worked much better than finely ground. Hope this helps and thanks for the question! ~Paul Hi Jeannette,
