    A fool-proof and inexpensive full-immersion method of brewing coffee, this little gem is as familiar as a drip machine - it uses #4 filters - and is as simple to use as a French press.

    The resulting coffee retains much of the delicious body of a French press, but does away with the sediment. The steep-and-release mechanism means that you can accurately control the brewing, and extract the coffee directly into your mug with no mess.

    And at this price, it's about one of the best value brewers you can find.

    • Bilingual Packaging
    • Requires a standard #4 filter
    • Practical Capacity: 500ml (16.9oz)
    • Heat-resistant, durable and BPA-free Eastman Tritan™ copolyester
    • Made in Taiwan
  • The recipe:
    Dose: 18.5g | Water weight: 310g | Ratio: 16.75 : 1 | Brew time: 2:30

    Prep protocol

    1. Fill kettle to maximum volume, and set to boil (100°C / 212°F)
    2. Carefully fold seams of paper filter to allow filter to sit flush in the dripper
    3. Rinse the filter with hot water to remove paper taste and also to heat the brewer
    4. Empty water from dripper, place on scale, tare

    Brewing protocol

    1. Add boiling water (100°C / 212°F) to full weight (310g)
    2. Add coffee grinds to the water, start timer
    3. Use spoon to break-up all dry clumps while stirring the grinds to ensure a full saturation
    4. Cap the brewer with the lid no later than 0:25 to steep until 1:10
    5. At 1:10 remove cap
    6. Break crust by stirring with spoon, pulling residual grounds off of the filter walls, and stir two full rotations
    7. Place dripper on top of carafe/cup to activate drain-valve while stirring 4 more times to initiate a vortex, replace lid, and wait for coffee to fully drain
    8. At 2:30 remove lid to check water level (all brewing water should be drained, but it may go as long as 2:45)
    9. Enjoy!

Love this thing!

I use the Clever Dripper on the weekend when I have time to enjoy the process. If I'm making a cup or two for myself, it's perfect. James Hoffman is a great resource for getting started with this brewing method. I recently found a reddit thread called "Large batches with the Clever Dripper" if you're interested in using it to make bigger batches (4 cups/1L), as well. I'm also going to play around with making concentrated coffee and diluting it to get a larger batch. Anyway, it's a really fun brewing method and an outstanding product. I love the coffee I brew with this thing.

Fanatastic little brewer

After using the Handy brewer for tea, I was curious about a steep-release coffee maker.

The CLEVER is wonderful and works well. It brews delicious coffee with a lot of body but retains the benefits of a paper filter.

I highly recommend this brewer to anyone interested in immersion brewing who doesn't want to deal with lots of coffee oil.

I think the best place to start to learn about home coffee brewing.

Not as finicky as some other brew methods...so goof for a newbee. Check out the James Hoffman youtube video on the Clever...very helpfull.
