Clever Dripper

A fool-proof and inexpensive full-immersion method of brewing coffee, this little gem is as familiar as a drip machine - it uses #4 filters (Moccamaster type) - and is as simple to use as a Presskanne (French press).

The resulting coffee retains much of the delicious body of a French press, but does away with the sediment. The steep-and-release mechanism means that you can accurately control the brewing, and extract the coffee directly into your mug with no mess.

• Requires a standard #4 filter (Moccamaster type)

• Practical Capacity: 500ml

• Heat-resistant, durable and BPA-free Eastman Tritan™ copolyester

• Made in Taiwan

• The recipe:
  Dose: 18.5g | Water weight: 310g | Ratio: 16.75 : 1 | Brew time: 2:30

  Prep protocol

• Fill kettle to maximum volume, and set to boil (100°C )

• Carefully fold seams of paper filter to allow filter to sit flush in the dripper

• Rinse the filter with hot water to remove paper taste and also to heat the brewer

• Empty water from dripper, place on scale, tare

  Brewing protocol

• Add boiling water (100°C ) to full weight (310g)

• Add coffee grinds to the water, start timer

• Use spoon to break-up all dry clumps while stirring the grinds to ensure a full saturation

• Cap the brewer with the lid no later than 0:25 to steep until 1:10

• At 1:10 remove cap

• Break crust by stirring with spoon, pulling residual grounds off of the filter walls, and stir two full rotations

• Place dripper on top of carafe/cup to activate drain-valve while stirring 4 more times to initiate a vortex, replace lid, and wait for coffee to fully drain

• At 2:30 remove lid to check water level (all brewing water should be drained, but it may go as long as 2:45)

• Enjoy!
