Clever Coffee Dripper and Filters, Large 18 oz, Original Classic Design, Safe BPA Free Plastic, dripper coffee maker, drip coffee maker pour over, 100 filters, coaster and lid

It is my favorite coffee maker. Simple, quick, reliable. I just wish they’d make one double size so we could make coffee for two. For one person, I like the outcome when using 4 tablespoons of coffee + 185-190° water dribbled in all at once almost to the top. Let it sit on the counter for a few minutes – I don’t time it carefully - give the top a little stir, and let it drain into my largest mug. The only glitch is that occasionally it leaks when it’s not sitting on a receptacle. I have gotten into the habit of setting it down in a shallow bowl in case the valve isn’t closing completely.

I had a similar item years ago but got rid of it when swamped with chemex, aero press, single drip cones, etc... All these work just fine but I wanted something that was a single mug's (12oz) capacity as that was all I drink on a daily basis. This clever dripper fit that bill and I have enjoyed its simplicity and good performance ever since. The build is very good and sturdy and I use the #4 cone with it, but you could use a #2. Very easy to rinse out when finished and a thorough clean once a week. Also love this light-coffee-colored-plastic as the one I had before did eventually stain from coffee so I'm one step ahead this time. You get 12-14 oz out of this and maybe 16oz that it claims but coffee grounds take some space.

This is easier to make coffee than a pour over. Taste wise it is between a pour over and french Press. Whole , I prefer the taste of a French press, The F.P. allows oils through that are a little bad cholesterols stuff through. Of special note is the EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER Service. My Clever Dripper had it such that I had to lightly push down on the silicone sealing Ball to keep several table spoonfuls of liquid from coming through before the weight of the water forced the ball more securely into place. When I reached out to C.S. , they quickly sent me a ball and washer kit ( it has 2 of ea. ) This was a super easy fix and all is great. BTW, I researched and found the James Hoffman way of using the Clever Dipper. His was is more efficient, takes less time and produces great coffee. I have now been enjoying Clever Dipper coffee for almost 2 o months

The Clever dripper works really well. I dosed at 15g/250ml ground on the fine side of drip. Water first, then coffee and stir. 2 mins steep, Stir again. Then... I saw the bit of water at the bottom that saw no grounds, so I slightly tapped the Clever on my warming-up cup, and dumped the warming water and this bit into the sink. The brew from there on was quite dark. Problem avoided. The process is WAY simpler than regular pour-overs, clean up WAY easier than French Press, just rinse, push up the valve and let dry. Just as fast as Keurig, more flavorfull coffee from the same beans. Just have to see how it lasts and performs over time.

I have three of these in different locations that I frequent. That's how good the Clever Coffee Dripper is! I take it on the road with me when on tour and man does it save me cash and getting stuck at a Starbucks with overroasted, burnt coffee. Anyone who uses a cheap plastic quick pour-over with filter is missing 50-75% of the flavor your coffee really has to offer- simply by letting the hot water and grinds sit together for 10-15 minutes. And those who prefer French press will be very surprised at the quality and taste. It uses #4 filters (I recommend Amazon's UNBLEACHED pack of 200). Some filters are super thin and the water will pass through too quickly. The unit comes with about 75 bleached, but they appear to be thinner than the unbleached mentioned above. Slowly pour boiled water (2 cups or a bit more, to the top if you like) into the coffee (in circular fashion, working from outer edges to the center) then cover the main container with the top and sit the unit on the provided coaster. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes (there's no need to manually mix with a spoon). Find a medium ball jar that the unit can sit on securely and also make contact with the inner ring that allows the coffee to drip down. Mine has a 3" diameter and is about 7" high, plenty of extra vertical room. That's it. For an extra kick, I combine regular grind coffee (Chock full o Nuts, Maxwell House, any roast is fine) with some fine ground Latino coffee like Bustelo, Pilón, El Pico- maybe 35% of the total coffee, depending on how strong you like it. Be sure to mix the two dry coffees together with a tablespoon before pouring in the water. If you leave the finer ground coffee on top, the water won't penetrate through the coarser regular grind below. I wash with each use in warm soap water. Coffee oils/grease build up and create bitter results if you don't wash it. Every 5 uses or so, let the soap water sit in the container for about 10 minutes before rinsing. Though the price point is a bit high for this plastic unit, it is far worth it for the results you get. Makes a great gift, too. Enjoy some great coffee without spending a fortune on boutique beans that are $25/lb. You'll be very happy!

I’ve always loved the Clever Drippers, they’re everything I love about pour overs with the simplicity and convenience of a French press. I feel like the pour is more complex with this dripper than it would be if I were to just use a regular coffee pot. Now, I am rating this 4 stars for kind of a silly reason. I drink both coffee and tea, so I’ve been using the clever dripper interchangeably. When brewing coffee it does not leak after you take it off the mug or cup of choice, as intended. However, when I brew tea the tea becomes much heavier than coffee grounds would be, so after you take it off of the cup or mug, I can’t get it to stop dripping. Again, this is a silly reason because this vessel is *not intended for tea* so it’s not fair of me to rate it based on its performance with tea. But if you’re just brewing coffee with this (like 90% of people are) I would say this dripper is a 5/5! I trust the Clever brand and would absolutely recommend it.

I’ve used my original Clever Coffee Dripper, nearly every day, for 15 years. It recently created a crack and would weep while steeping, losing about 1/4 cup onto the rimmed plate I used to capture the lost coffee. I replaced it with exactly the same model and look forward to another 15+ years with my new one! I love the results and no messy grounds like with a French press.

I have now used my Large Clever coffee dripper almost daily for 6 months. I love the ability to hold coffee in the funnel for dialing in brew time. With some experimentation (along with grind size and water temperature), you can get the best flavor out of any type of coffee. It might seem a little pricey for a plastic funnel that only makes one cup at a time, but this design totally blows away any other pour over funnel. Yes, you can use it as a regular pour over, but the flexibility to hold coffee brewing longer opens up the ability to modify extraction to optimize flavor from any roast level or origin. The valve and plate mechanism are not as easy to clean as a regular pour over funnel, but I just rinse well after each use and take apart once a week (easy to remove valve gasket) for thorough cleaning. I would not put this in a dishwasher with an electric heating element for drying since it is plastic and because you would need to take it apart for dishwasher spray to reach all areas. It's just easier to handwash. I recommend a transparent color funnel to see the water level more easily. I also recommend using Hario V60 Size 3 White Paper Coffee Filters -- the cone shape fits perfectly in the Large (18oz) Dripper when you fold the point, they're less expensive than other quality Japanese paper filters, and there is no dust or off flavors imparted. I rarely rate any products 5/5 stars, but if you like good coffee at home, I can't recommend this product highly enough!

Very nice

era lo que esperaba

For coffee drinkers out there this is a possible game changer. With the dripper and 100 filters in the box it is ready to go straight from the get go. (As long as you have coffee grounds to use!) Great for one person without having to use a cafeteria to get the true caffeine experience. Quick and easy to use with a great brew at the end. 5 stars IMHO.

tip: erst das Wasser in den Filter, dann das Kaffeemehl dazu und danach LEICHT mit einem Löffel unterrühren. so läuft der Kaffee viel schneller durch. Wie James Hoffmann es in einem YT Video gezeigt hat. suche nach "The Ultimate Clever Dripper Technique"

Excelente!
