Clever Coffee Dripper | Large 18 oz | Peacock Blue | BPA-Free | 100 Filters

I bought this so that I could make coffee at my desk. I've had it about 2 weeks and it's already paid for itself with my savings from not buying coffee at Starbucks. It's very convenient for me, especially because of the easy clean up. I use this along with an electric kettle that I keep at my desk, which lets me set up an easy routine. First I turn on the kettle (which takes about 3-5 minutes to boil water and turns itself off when it's done), then I go to the kitchen to get the Dripper ready. I rinse the filter, put my coffee in the dripper, and put a little bit of milk in my mug, all of which takes about a minute. I can then put the dripper on top of my mug (since there's no water in it yet) and can hold it all in one hand which is important for me to be able to swipe my keycard and open doors. By the time I get back to my desk, the water has usually boiled and cooled down a little. I set the timer for four minutes, pour in the hot water and a few minutes later have some great coffee at the perfect temperature to drink instantly. Clean up is also ridiculously easy (once again I can carry everything I need back to the kitchen with only one hand, then I just dump the filter in the compost bin, rinse out the Dripper, and quickly wash my mug and spoon). All in all, this is the most convenient possible way for me to make coffee. Even if money were no object, I can make this coffee in less time than it would take me to walk to, and wait in line at the coffee shop. Other people have already said it, but this makes a great cup of coffee. The reason it works is because it lets you immerse the coffee in hot water for a few minutes before it gets to your cup (Keurig, Mr. Coffee, and other cheap pour overs don't do this, and don't taste as good). Other simple options which create the same affect are a french press, or Aeropress, but I think this is more convenient. I could make a french press at my desk, but the clean up is a pain and I can't go back and forth to the kitchen single handedly. Aeropress has an easy cleanup, but has way too many parts to deal with for my situation at the office (it's a great option for home though, and can make a cup of coffee using slightly less grounds). You could also save $15 by using a measuring cup to steep your coffee before pouring it into a $5 pour-over to make coffee which would theoretically be just as good; but this would just add another messy thing to be cleaned up (and in my case carried around). I also found two other similar devices out there. Another company makes a porcellan version of this which sounds very similar but costs twice as much. Porcellan retains heat better, and so it probably does make a little bit better cup of coffee, which might be worth it for some people. But porcellan is also fragile, which is a deal breaker for me since I need to carry this thing one handed across the office while opening and closing doors. There's also another plastic version which seems very similar to this and costs the same, but that one has a built in filter which means a messier clean up (although it also means you don't need to buy filters, which could be a selling point for some people). So far, I haven't found any cons to this coffee making method. It's really on good for one cup at a time, which is fine for me at the office but would be annoying at home. Sometimes I notice a little drip of coffee makes it through to the coaster before I put it on my mug, that's not supposed to happen but it doesn't seem like a huge deal to me as long as I remember to use the coaster.

This is it folks. I think I've finally found the perfect 1 cup coffee maker in existence today. After many researching and product trials (not to mention the money spent), the Clever Coffee Dripper is hands down the best little coffee maker I've ever used and I believe I can say for certainty that my searching has finally concluded. The CCD combines the functions of a french press with a melitta drip filter. Basically what this means is that the CCD will give you french press quality coffee but with the ease and cleanup of a single melitta filter. Why this beats a french press: With a french press contraption, the quality of your coffee is way better than what you would get with a normal drip machine because you actually get to steep the coffee grounds rather than just run hot water over it. Think of this as "marinating" your coffee. The downside to using a french press is two fold. First is what people call the "sludge" you'd get when using a french press. When you get to the bottom of your coffee, there is this slimy texture that just makes you not want to actually finish your cup of coffee. There are definitely ways to combat this sludge effect but it didn't really work for me. The second reason why a CCD beats a french press is due to how easy it is to clean up. With a french press, dumping the grounds in your waste basket is definitely not hard to do. What is a pain is having to clean the plunger device. This plunger usually consists of three parts and you'd have to take them apart for cleaning after each and every time you use it. If not, coffee grinds will be stuck to it and stains will appear. The clean up process was one of the main reason why I had to switch to a single brew melitta filter. Why this beats a melitta filter: A single brew melitta filter is cheap, convenient and extremely easy to clean when done. If you are the only family member who drinks coffee, this little device is perfect for you. It's basically just a funnel if you think about it and that right there is why you won't get the best cup of coffee if you use this method. As soon as you pour hot water over the coffee grinds, the water drips into your cup. You actually don't get to steep your coffee. However, many users still prefer this method of brewing because it is so easy to use and clean up after. Why the CCD rules them all: The CCD allows you to steep your coffee because the water doesn't actually filter out until you place the CCD over your cup! This single feature is what makes this device so efficient. The "steep" you get equates to what you'd get when you use a french press. Because the coffee drips into your cup like a melitta filter, there is no extra piece to clean up. Once done, simply toss the #4 filter into your trash bin, rinse the CCD and you're done! For users who are afraid of their coffee losing temperature while steeping, the CCD comes with both a plastic base and lid. The base I find useless but the lid helps trap the heat while you are steeping the grinds. Unless you like to drink boiling water straight out of the kettle, I found that the temperature of my coffee is still hot enough for my preferences after extraction. It's much better than with a french press. The lid helps a whole lot. I usually steep for about 3 minutes. Some might think the price is a bit too much but I believe it's definitely worth it. My personal tips and advice: - Never use soap to wash the CCD as it can affect the taste of your coffee. - I normally do a "deep clean" of the CCD by just pouring in nothing but boiling water after every few days. I'd just let it sit inside and let the hot water remove some of the leftover coffee smell. - Try to clean the CCD with hot water as much as possible if you have to rinse it right after a brew. Rinsing it with cold water might wrap the plastic. - I never place the CCD upside down after cleaning or for any other purpose. Leave it upright as much as possible.

This coffee dripper is just as described. I purchased two, one for me and the other for my sister. It enhances the flavor and improves the flow while brewing. Easy to use and maintain.

Best thing I've bought in a long time! I use it several times every day and loved it so much I bought another one for a different residence. You won't be sorry, it's the coolest thing ever. It is great quality, washes up easily, MAKES A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE! It is super easy to use, light weight, fits most all coffee cups and has a large capacity. People have asked me, "where did you get that, it's awesome!" You should definitely try this if you like a dripper to make your coffee.

After trying the aeropress, pour over, and a percolator, I have found this to be the easiest way to make my coffee in my RV while glamping! If I had to make more than one cup of coffee, I would definitely recommend a percolator, however. But since it’s just me this is perfect! Cleanup is a breeze. Just throw away the filter with the grounds, rinse the clever dripper, and you’re done!

Update 09/2023: been using it for a bike now. Have come to value it for speed, ease of use and cleanup (rinse and done!). Knocking a star for being overpriced but this makes a decent cup. I use 27g coffee/400ml water. Stir floating grounds in after filling. Steep to 2:15. Let drain (takes until about 3:40). Nice quick hot cup of coffee couldn’t be too much easier. Oringal review: Ok...so I haven't used this too many times, but compared to the $39 Bialetti Moka Pot I ordered at almost the same time this piece of plastic seems like a total rip-off. I'm trying the technique James Hoffman recommends (water first, then coffee), using good coffee and weighing the water/coffee. My results have not been as sweet as what I'm getting from my $10 V60 or as rich and sweet/complex as I'm getting from the comparably priced moka pot. This may be slightly easier than the V60, but it's far less elegant than either the V60 or the Bialetti. Also, my Aeropress makes more interesting coffee. I'd say save your money, buy a V60 and a nice 1L Hario pour over kettle or buy the Bialetti moka pot. Or get an Aeropress. Sorry, Clever, but this one misses the mark for me. It's just another piece of uninspiring plastic. I think this thing is going back to Amazon. Update 1/18/23: still have the Clever. Was perhaps a bit harsh in my initial review. I’ve gone back to coffee first then add water (sorry James Hoffman that was too much trouble). Results are nice. Balanced coffee not too much sweetness but very clean. This turns out to be kind of convenient for coffee at work and requires very little cleanup. Still not elegant but it is kind of fun. The Moka pot continues to captivate me but this Clever brewer has earned some points.

This is a great pour over coffee dripper. Originally my friend had given me the identical dripper, lovingly used, a few years back and it was great. When I looked online to replace it, I was concerned about price over value. I decided to go ahead because it is such a well-made/designed product. The mechanics keep the coffee from dripping out when not placed on the rim of a cup, so you can hold coffee with a lid to keep it warm. Washing by hand is best for longevity. The dishwasher can be damaging over time.

Like a french press but without all the grounds. I LOVE this. This is my second one. So easy to use. Never fail coffee.

Even better than I expected it to be, makes a slightly stringer coffee than a V60 which I prefer.

...ok, I'm going to say a bit more: Had one of these for a little over 2 years now and used it just about every day and usually more than once a day. It shows zero signs of wear and tear and makes consistently great coffee every time. My own method is simple: Boil 350ml of water. Put a size 4 filter paper in the dripper and use 50 ml of the water to moisten the paper. Drain this through into my cup, then stand the dripper on the worktop and pour the remaining 300ml of water into it. (Discard the 50ml from your cup). Add around 18gm of coffee of choice and lightly mix it so all of it is soaking in the flavour. Wait 3 mins and then put the dripper back onto the cup. Muse on life as the water filters through. Remove the dripper and enjoy. I understand that the reason for putting the water in first is that it speeds up the flow rate. If you put the coffee in first, it clogs up in the centre of the filter and slows it down. PROS: Cheap device producing clear, clean, non-bitter coffee from any bean, every time. Ritualistically therapeutic but simple method. Easy clean up: used filter in the food waste caddy; fill dripper with cold water and empty out, then repeat and let it empty through the valve over the sink. Ready for next use! CONS: Zero. The Clever dripper exceeds the capacity and simplicity of the Hario Switch and is a fraction of the cost. In other words there is no competition. All the benefits of a French press plus drip or pour over. Get one now....before they put the price up after realising what they have!

Deze clever dripper is echt top. Ik gebruik hem al jaren op de camping kf in een hotel.
