What is the Clever Dripper?

The Clever Dripper combines the body of full immersion (like French Press) with the clarity of paper-filtered pour over. A clever valve at the base holds water until you place it on a cup — then gravity drains the brew. Almost impossible to mess up.

You'll need

  • Clever Dripper
  • Size 4 paper filter (cone)
  • Kettle
  • Burr grinder set medium
  • 20 g fresh Seelaz coffee — Browse our coffees

Step by step

1

Insert and rinse filter

Place a cone filter inside the Clever. Rinse thoroughly with hot water. Discard the rinse from below.

2

Add 20 g medium grind

Same grind as drip coffee. Pour grounds in, give the Clever a gentle shake to level.

3

Pour 300 g water

Add water at 92 °C all at once. Stir for 5 seconds to ensure every ground is wet. The valve holds everything.

4

Steep 2 minutes

Place lid on top. After 90 seconds, give a quick stir to drop floaters. Steep total 2 minutes from pour.

5

Place on cup to drain

Set the Clever on your mug or carafe. The valve opens and coffee drips out in about 60 seconds. Done.

Pro tips

  • Adjust strength by changing time, not grind. Stronger? Steep 30 seconds longer.
  • Pre-warm the mug before placing the Clever — the long drawdown can cool the cup.
  • Great for batch brewing single cups for guests at slightly different strengths.
