Overall Verdict
The OXO Compact and the Toddy Cold Brew System are two neck-and-neck competitors. The OXO Compact is the smaller version of the OXO Good Grips, both of which use the proprietary rainshower drip method. Both the OXO and the Toddy use a similar brew ratio, which you can adjust with their free-style brewing method.
The OXO tends to produce a somewhat stronger and more defined brew whereas the Toddy brews a much more complex flavored concentrate. Another key difference with the OXO is that decanting is a lot easier than with the Toddy.
Since the size difference is the key, the choice here is really whether you need a small or large quantity of cold brew concentrate. If you’re a connoisseur of true cold brew richness, then the Toddy is more likely to satisfy your tastes.
