Balanced Brew Coffee

The Clever Dripper is a full immersion brewing method that has a valve located underneath that gets activated when the Clever is placed on top of a cup. If you decide to pick up the Clever before it finishes dispensing the coffee, it will stop pouring. It's a pretty clever design and aptly named.

Steps to brewing with a Clever Dripper

Step 1 - Place a filter inside Clever

Step 2 - Pour a small amount of water just-off-the-boil into filter to pre-rinse filter

Step 3 - Place Clever on top of cup to drain water, discard water and place Clever back on counter

Step 4 - Pour coarse coffee grounds into filter

Step 5 - Pour a small amount of water over the coffee grounds, just enough water to saturate all of the grounds

Step 6 - Allow the water to soak into the grounds for about 20-30 seconds, this is called blooming. It allows the water to soak into the grounds and push out the carbon dioxide that is trapped in the grounds

Step 7 - Pour water over the grounds, evenly and consistently saturating the grounds

Step 8 - Allow coffee to steep for 3-4 minutes

Step 9 -  Place Clever Dripper on top of cup

Step 10 - Once the coffee has finished dispensing, remove Clever and enjoy
