Buying advice
Go for the largest batch you can justify — the Toddy's 48oz concentrate serves a small team. Label your container and use a dispenser or spigot so nobody double-dips. Filter twice to keep sediment out of a shared carafe.
FAQ
What is the best cold brew for for office?
It depends on your batch size and cleanup tolerance: Cold brew is set-and-forget: coarse grind, 12-18 hours, filter once. The pitcher and filter design is the real decision. Match the brewer to how many cups you make and how much fiddling you want.
What coffee gear works in an office?
A simple drip machine with a thermal carafe, or a French press for small teams. Avoid loud grinders — grind at home.
Is it OK to leave gear at the office?
Yes — a thermal carafe drip machine or a French press is low-maintenance and doesn't need daily descaling.
