It’s official, buying the Toddy was a brilliant idea.  Yes it’s basically a piece of plastic, a glass jar, a cork, and a round filter.  But I stick some coffee and water in it and forget it for 12 hours and then I have a full container of coffee for the fridge — enough for the week.  Any kind of coffee!  I am in heaven.  It may not be a “machine” in the traditional sense of the word but it’s by far my favorite coffee machine now.  More so than my espresso machine or my Senseo and it doesn’t even take power!
