The Clever Coffee Dripper is perhaps the most versatile pour-over brewing system available. The water does not immediately drain into a vessel, it sits in the Clever, slowly extracting, making it function more like an immersion-style brewer than a pour-over. Coffee and water ratios will vary to taste, but whatever your preferred method, the Clever will produce a bright, rich cup of nuanced coffee that’s remarkably easy to repeat.

Brew Key: Need to step away for a moment while the coffee is brewing? No problem! The coffee only releases when you’re ready.
