Clever Dripper Coffee Maker in Brown(Large)

The design of the Clever Dripper sets above other pour over products in my opinion. The valve system that lets the coffee brew and releases the coffee when you set it on top of a cup, makes all the difference.I have had mixed results with normal pour over systems in the past, but the Clever system works the best of all those that I have tried, it is also very easy to use.The consensus opinion seems to be that using the James Hoffman method is best i.e. putting the water in first and then putting the coffee on top of the water. just then give it a gentle stir to remove clumps and then put the lid on.The other thing I do is to well rinse the filter papers first to remove any residue and taste. I put the paper in the dripper, fully wet it under a tap, tip the water out, part fill it and set it on a cup to run water through it, then boil some water and run that through it as well. I find that if I do this, the filter papers don't taint the taste of the coffee. You do get a substantial amount of filter papers with the dripper.As long as you use good quality, freshly roaster coffee i.e. not sitting on a supermarket shelf for six months, and preferably whole bean and grind it yourself, you should be able to make some excellent coffee.Strongly recomended

Great for a solid one cup coffee filter cup, sturdy, easy to use and keep clean. No off flavours imparted at all. Water flows fast and does the job well

This brewer has been able to produce the absolute best tasting coffee I've had and it does so with practically no effort, both for hot and iced coffees. Having previously brewed with the likes of the aeropress and toying around with cold brew recipes (which are both great in their own right), this is able to compete with both of those methods and exceeding both of them while also being extremely easy to use, extremely easy to clean, yet also being very versatile in producing different styles of coffee within the same brewer.The method I use for the hot brew and the iced coffee which I had discovered through the James Hoffmann video where he cites workshop coffee being the ones to have come up with adding water first, then your grounds, this has worked for me very successfully and is super simplistic and is very repeatable most importantly.While I can't speak to the longevity on how this holds up over time (maybe there are undiscovered issues) I've been thoroughly impressed with how this brewer produces very tasty coffee with the technique being as straight forward doesn't make it feel like a chore.The only downside I really see with this brewer is you're really only making 2 cups at a time with it, which in my case, is perfectly fine, but something to keep in mind if you were to brew for a group or something. That said, you will be able to get coffee to your cup in 5mins easily.

Although more expensive than other coffee drippers, this has the added advantage of allowing the coffee to steep in the water for as long as you like, to make a good strong brew. The lid helps to keep in the heat and aroma whilst keeping out any flies or dust particles. I also use a tea cosy to help keep the coffee warm. It's a good size and very good quality

Easy to use, less cleaning faff than the cafetiere i previously used.A vefy practical way go combins steeping with filtersDo you lose some of the oils to the filter paper? I'm not sure whether there's quite so much richness

This is the best thing I have ever bought for myself for work. I was looking for a convenient way to make quality coffee at work - I don't enjoy instant coffee, and nobody else uses the dripper machine so it's a faff to set up and clean for just myself. I had been using a cafetière, but the grit at the end of the cup was annoying me. This brilliantly combines the benefits of steeping coffee like a cafetière with the clean, soot free drink from a dripper machine. Easy to clean, durable so far, and the valve effectively stops the product from dripping when it's not sat on a cup. Perfect size - could probably make 2 small cups of coffee at a time.

Really lovely brewer.Fairly mess free hands off approach to brewing coffee. I’ve been using this with an 1zpresso J Ultra set to 2.0.0 grind size.Using James Hoffman’s recipe on YouTube has yielded great results.Very cost effective and quick brewer to use, I would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t quite want to invest in a full v60 setup with a goose neck kettle, but wants lovely coffee.

I'm finding it hard to justify making espresso at home. This is easy, you can start with this, prep your brekkie and have a hot delicious mug waiting to have with your brekkie. It's worth it
