The Clever Dripper is a hybrid brewing method that combines immersion (like the French Press) and filtration (like pour-over).
It’s designed for consistency and ease, producing a cup of coffee that’s clean, rich, and full of flavor — with none of the bitterness or sludge.
Perfect for beginners and experts alike, the Clever Dripper gives you total control over steeping time without needing advanced pouring techniques.
🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 20 g medium-ground coffee
- 300 ml hot water (about 93°C / 200°F)
🛠️ Equipment
- Clever Dripper brewer
- #4 paper filter
- Gooseneck kettle (optional)
- Mug or carafe
- Scale and timer
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Process
1. Set Up the Brewer
Insert a paper filter into the Clever Dripper and place it on a mug or carafe.
Rinse the filter with hot water to remove any paper taste and preheat the brewer.
Then, discard the rinse water.
2. Add Coffee and Water
Add 20 grams of medium-ground coffee to the dripper.
Pour 300 ml of hot water evenly over the grounds.
Make sure all coffee is wet, then stir gently to ensure even saturation.
3. Steep
Place the lid on top and let the coffee steep for 2–3 minutes.
This immersion step allows for deep, balanced extraction — giving the cup sweetness and body.
4. Drain the Coffee
After steeping, place the Clever Dripper on your mug or carafe.
The valve at the bottom opens automatically, letting the brewed coffee flow through the filter.
The draining should take about 1–1.5 minutes.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Once the dripping stops, remove the dripper and discard the filter.
Swirl your coffee gently, then serve hot.
You’ll get a cup that’s clean, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.
💡 Tips for the Perfect Clever Dripper Coffee
- Use a medium grind — finer will slow drainage, coarser will weaken flavor.
- Don’t rush the process; 2–3 minutes of steeping gives optimal extraction.
- Use fresh, filtered water for best clarity and taste.
- Experiment with ratios (1:15 to 1:17 coffee-to-water) to suit your preference.
- Rinse your filter thoroughly — it prevents papery notes in your brew.
