Add fresh ground coffee to the dripper (with Filtropa filter paper) and brew for two and a half minutes. We recommend washing by hand in warm soapy water, then rinse thoroughly in clear water to remove any residue. The main chamber allows you to immerse the grounds, and a gasket on its base allows you to decant your coffee directly into a mug or carafe. This means the Clever Dripper is a great option for those who want to experiment with different types of coffee beans and brewing methods.

Place the Clever on a surface (we recommend the special plate that comes with your dripper) and add the coffee grounds. A tasty halfway house between the fuller body of the Aeropress and the delicate flavours of a V60, the Clever Dripper is a great first brewer. After a total of about 3 minutes gently place the Clever Coffee Dripper onto your carafe or coffee mug. It was only a short lived project, sadly, but it was also the first time I spoke directly with James Hoffmann who offered me some learnings from his own filter coffee pop-up café in London where he used the Clever Dripper.Its shape is reminiscent of the pour-over coffee maker but uses the immersion method thanks to a special valve placed at the bottom. Pour just below boiling water over the coffee in a slow circular motion, until the desired capacity is reached. This results in a really clean cup of coffee without the sediment and rich body that is typical of brewing using a cafetière. It is super user-friendly producing a consistent brew without the sediment you'd often get with metal filter methods.

But as you will discover, you can coax out an array of different characteristics from this coffee whether you're after a juicy filter coffee to enjoy black or perhaps you'd prefer more body with some chocolatey/toffee notes to have with milk. Simply add your water to the coffee and leave to brew for the desired time before activating the drip by placing it either straight on the cup or on a server for sharing. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. The resulting coffee retains much of the delicious body of a French press, but does away with the sediment.You can also upgrade your coffee experience by using Kalita Japanese Premium paper filters, or CoffeeSock Organic Cloth Filters made in the USA. Fool Proof: So simple to use and easy to keep clean, the Clever Dripper will make enough coffee for two people with the minimum fuss. Place the Clever Coffee Dripper on top of a mug and watch as it fills with perfectly brewed perfectly clear coffee in seconds.
