Ugh. These toddy filters are the worst. (i.redd.it)

Did you guys see the Now Brewing? 🤞it comes true/comes soon
misskatthebrat [OP] 5 points 2y ago
Omg sooo excited!
Cbrew2020 2 points 2y ago
What is that?
misskatthebrat [OP] 15 points 2y ago
It is a quarterly magazine that showcases new in store equipment, merchandise and food/drink products, as well as barista stories from locations around the world. Your manager should have it available to read, or you can find it on the Partner Hub.

I looked for 10 minutes just to realize I can’t see it from partner hub at home and I don’t work till Monday and I NEED to know what it said LMAO
givemeapples 19 points 2y ago
Basically we are getting a new cold brew brewer! And it will not require filters!
misskatthebrat [OP] 5 points 2y ago
Haha yea. That's a downside to the hub at home. Also Monday isn't far away!!!

Only if you're a drive thru store though!
rio8envy7 20 points 2y ago
Looks like it’s gonna need to be double filtered
misskatthebrat [OP] 10 points 2y ago
Noticed it also ripped clean on the other side, so I just started over heh
rio8envy7 6 points 2y ago
Probably better that way tbh.
wifeypoopoo 14 points 2y ago
Agreed! Every one that I make has a big FILTER ME! sign on the lid 😆
Gameb0i6 8 points 2y ago
They really are. Can’t wait to get the new cold brew machines that don’t require these filters.

When this happened to some of the newer baristas at my store they actually used tape to "fix" the hole. When I went to pitcher up the cold brew it was full of grounds and tape was floating in it... whyyyy

I almost didnt want to type this because I'm a little embarrassed by the things they do. They also tried to fix a leaky pipe with a duct tape last week. It looked like a Bob Belcher tape job too, like someone got confused and just kept taping randomly until the roll was gone.
misskatthebrat [OP] 3 points 2y ago
Oh my life. Time to peer mentor and put them kids into place. So not okay! I would be embarrassed by them too.

Mine always rip after i pour the water on the outside. Gives me false hope :(
sparkytheboomman 6 points 2y ago

if you have a light touch you can lip the filters over the top of the toddies just barely and itll make getting water inside much easier. dont rush cold brew because the faster you go the higher your tear chance and double the time it could have been.

after the water inside, scruch it up from both ends in a zig zag so if you opened it up it looks like the bp logo on how it folds (circular even pattern of up down all around) then tie it well so grounds dont come up (double knot since it doesnt need to be opened when its done)

when you pour water outside the filter, dont do it on the filter seams, dont go fast, and do it right on the knot that you made since its the thickest part and has the most durability to withstand the water pressure

Tl;Dr: Lip filter over toddy 7 in / scrunch up the opening and double knot / Pour water on the scrunched knot 7 / Go slow then fast when pouring.
misskatthebrat [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Very detailed process you've got! Thank you for the tips. In this case, it was just a crappy filter, and no I don't really have a gentle touch, especially with wearing tacky gloves.
real-3st 2 points 2y ago
if you guys dont have a riser for the bottom its also 3x easier to tear because it falls down
sandycat555 1 points 2y ago
I wondered why we didn't have this problem that often, must be because we used the risers. Also at our store only the strong survive LOL Most partners are either old timers or particular about how they do things.
real-3st 1 points 2y ago
You can also use the binder clips that your store defintely has to hold it open too. the extra 5 seconds for it saves you the minute cleaning up on failure

At my store we double bag em
misskatthebrat [OP] 1 points 2y ago
That is insane to me! The filters are so expensive.
bitchlasagna355 2 points 2y ago
i just started about a month ago at my store and i was making toddys for the first time. The filter did the exact same thing and i ripped it :(
I felt so bad for wasting a whole bag of cold brew.
Glad to know I'm not the only one though :)
Cs0690 2 points 2y ago
I’m so ready for the new cold brew systems!!!!!
breadcat3 2 points 2y ago
yesterday I was making cold brew when I realized that all the water was spilling out bc the tap was down since someone had put the toddy back like that. called my coworker back to show her my misery and she went to move the filter to look inside and it immediately tore right through. pain.
misskatthebrat [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Ahhh yikes!
Slightly_Caffeinated 2 points 2y ago
Shit, and those filters are expensive too 🤭
kizzythaboss -4 points 2y ago
I stopped caring after a while. It settles at the bottom and whoever has it after my shift is the one that has to deal with it. I brew and that's it. 🤷🏾‍♀️
misskatthebrat [OP] 6 points 2y ago
Hahaha I've got picky teammates.
kizzythaboss 0 points 2y ago
The thing is, because we are all fed up with management, we all have to a certain extent. But, it's target so, definitely not quitting. Yet...🤔
