Two things we really like about the Clever Dripper: it's really easy to use and super simple to clean. Basically a new an improved version of a cafetière.
Totally new to the Clever Dripper? We have a step-by-step guide and recipe here.
Clever Dripper: 5 tips for taking it to the next level
-
Weigh your coffee and water for more consistent results every time.
-
Use coarsely ground coffee about the size of couscous – fresh is best!
-
Fold the seams of your filter paper to help it sit better in the Clever Dripper.
-
Don’t stir too much – this will cause over extraction and draw out bitter flavours.
-
Use filtered water (from a Brita jug or similar is fine) to help bring more flavour out.
-
Save your spent grounds to make a homemade exfoliator, or give your plants a nitrogen boost!
