Clever Pour Over Coffee Dripper

...ok, I'm going to say a bit more: Had one of these for a little over 2 years now and used it just about every day and usually more than once a day. It shows zero signs of wear and tear and makes consistently great coffee every time. My own method is simple: Boil 350ml of water. Put a size 4 filter paper in the dripper and use 50 ml of the water to moisten the paper. Drain this through into my cup, then stand the dripper on the worktop and pour the remaining 300ml of water into it. (Discard the 50ml from your cup). Add around 18gm of coffee of choice and lightly mix it so all of it is soaking in the flavour. Wait 3 mins and then put the dripper back onto the cup. Muse on life as the water filters through. Remove the dripper and enjoy. I understand that the reason for putting the water in first is that it speeds up the flow rate. If you put the coffee in first, it clogs up in the centre of the filter and slows it down. PROS: Cheap device producing clear, clean, non-bitter coffee from any bean, every time. Ritualistically therapeutic but simple method. Easy clean up: used filter in the food waste caddy; fill dripper with cold water and empty out, then repeat and let it empty through the valve over the sink. Ready for next use! CONS: Zero. The Clever dripper exceeds the capacity and simplicity of the Hario Switch and is a fraction of the cost. In other words there is no competition. All the benefits of a French press plus drip or pour over. Get one now....before they put the price up after realising what they have!

I love coffee. I have been through many filter coffee machines, espresso machines, bean to cup machines, and have ended up with this and absolutely love it. Why this beats Espresso: +------------------------------------------------------+ Let's face it, most of us drink coffee to wake us up in the mornings. People often think that Espresso has a lot more caffeine than regular drip coffee, but they're wrong. Because Espresso is only a small 'portion', it has less caffeine than say a full mug of regular drip coffee. Not only does the clever have a better effect at waking us up in the mornings, but Espresso machines take up a lot more space and creates more mess! The grind size etc also have to be very specific to make a good espresso. With the Clever Coffee Dripper, because you allow the water to contact all the coffee for as long as you want, grind size really isn't important at all. Why this beats Aeropress: +------------------------------------------------------+ The Aeropress is very very good, but I can only get about 1/2 mug size full of coffee. The clever brews a lot more, and you don't have to push down on the plunger early in the morning... Why this beats French Press: +------------------------------------------------------+ I'm really sorry to say that the French Press in my honest opinion is a horrible way of brewing coffee. Now, I'm not saying that the coffee tastes bad, but in my experience, you get lots of ground coffee in your cup due to the metal filter, and it is a nightmare to clean out. With the Clever, you use a filter paper which is a lot more efficient at keeping those coffee grounds away! Look in your mug after finishing your drink and you'll see no coffee grounds in there at all! It's also a lot easier to clean - just throw the paper with the used coffee grounds in the bin (although you could use the coffee for compost), and just rinse the clever out. The Clever does make a cup that tastes very similar to French press though because of the immersion process. Why this beats Instant Coffee: +------------------------------------------------------+ It uses ground coffee ... Why this beats Filter Machine Coffee: +------------------------------------------------------+ If you look at the water spout in a filter coffee machine, and compare where the holes are to where your coffee is, you'll see that only the central area of the coffee grounds gets used. This means that the coffee in the middle gets overextracted, whilst the coffee closer to the edge of the filter barely gets touched. This makes your coffee not taste that good, but thanks to the Clever, every single coffee ground is used, which leads to a much smoother flavour. So how do we use it? +------------------------------------------------------+ It entirely depends on you! It's a very forgiving process. I like to put 2 scoops of ground coffee in there, pour the hot water in, after 1 minute just stir it a tiny bit (being careful not to rip the paper filter) then leave for another 3 minutes. After that 4 minutes total is up, just sit it on top of a mug! Simple! Although this is large, it is perfect for 1 large mug of coffee (yum!). There's lots of video tutorials on YouTube if you get stuck, but it really is a simple process. I highly recommend the Starbucks House Blend with this, it tastes really smooth! The plastic is BPA free as well, so you know it's safe. There have been issues before where there would be 'cracks' developing in the clever dripper, but apparently they have now changed the plastic to be a lot stronger / safer. I would also recommend the Filtropa size 4 filter papers for this - they fit perfectly! I hope this review helps, but for the price, the coffee you get out of it tastes absolutely outstanding. I think coffee shops will struggle to beat this for brewed coffee!

good quality and fit

Pros: This is the second clever pour dripper I've owned, and I'm a big fan. Aside from making delicious coffee, these are much more compact than having a full coffee machine, which makes extra sense if you have a small kitchen and already have a kettle for tea. The biggest advantage it has over similar products is precisely that it doesn't pour until you place it on top of a mug and the seal is released. The fact that you can choose how long to let the coffee brew before dripping is a big plus. We swapped over from a French press after noting that the lack of a filter was staining our teeth when used regularly. It's also much easier to clean up afterwards given the filter. When filling it to the top, my partner and I each get one medium cup out of a single brew (note these aren't huge cups, but enough for us). Ours is slightly tinted rather than clear (like the past one), which is an advantage because my last one got stained. Cons: While the lid helps retain the heat a bit more, evidently this dripper doesn't keep coffee warm, so if your routine requires a heating base, this isn't the product for you. As far as I know, it isn't dish washer safe, so it does require hand washing as well. Also, be careful when you are filling up a mug because if you aren't careful, it can overflow (has happened a couple of times when I've not paid attention).

Deze clever dripper is echt top. Ik gebruik hem al jaren op de camping kf in een hotel.

I love this filter as it stops running the second you lift it off a cup or pot. You can place it safely onto the bench top without it leaking. I would never use another filter. I am onto my second one after many years as the silicon closure stopped working reliably after several years. Would buy it again anytime. Great gift too.

La uso a diario y me la llevo de viaje. Muy buen café y muy sencilla de usar. Volvería a comprar otra sin dudarlo.

Der Clever Dripper ist eine super Methode für alle, die einfach nur schnell leckeren Kaffee haben möchten und sich nicht viel mit dem richtigen Mahlgrad und der exakten Wassertemperatur beschäftigen wollen. Ich habe bspw. fein gemahlenen Kaffee geschenkt bekommen und hatte keine andere Filtermaschine im Haushalt. Zumal ich auch der einzige Kaffeetrinker bin. In diesem Anwendungsfall ist der Clever perfekt, da ich so 1-2 Tassen direkt zubereiten kann und das Ergebnis schmeckt einfach gut. Ich kann es bestens empfehlen.

Portatif güzel kaliteli bir plastikten üretilmiş. Ben iş yerine giderken yanımda götürüyorum ayrıca evde de tekli demlemelerimde kullanıyorum fakat önerilen demleme yöntemi açıkçası bana pek lezzetli gelmedi. Ben daha çok v60 demler gibi demliyorum 3dk'lık demlemeler yapıyorum aynı zamanda Electrolux explore filtre kahve makineside kullanıyorum açıkçası makine demlemesinden daha iyi kahveler elde ediyorum. Bu şekilde demlemelerde kullanabilirsiniz.
