Basic Clever Dripper Recipe

This is the basic recipe that is recommended by Clever Dripper. It produces a large cup of coffee with a water to coffee ratio close to 3:50.

The Clever Dripper was released in 2008 by ABID Co. in Taiwan. They set out to create a hybrid coffee brewing method, which combined the advantages of immersion brewing (like French press) and clean infusion methods (like pour over).

The brewer is extremely easy to use and to clean with its clever valve mechanism, and with the use of paper filters, the resulting coffee retains much of the delicious body of a French press without sediment.

Notes

• Clever Dripper recommends using boiling water for this method, but if you find that the resulting coffee is too bitter/over-extracted, lower the temperature for your next brew.

Recipe Preparation

• Prepare boiling water.
• Place filter in the Clever Dripper. Fold the seams of the filter paper if they have any, so that it can fit flush inside the dripper.
• Rinse the paper filter and Clever Dripper with hot water to remove any papery taste and to heat up the brewer. Place the brewer on a cup to remove the water, and empty the cup.
• Place the Clever Dripper on the scales (without a drinking vessel) and tare.
• Start the timer when your water is ready.
