The Clever Dripper - like a normal dripper, but "cleverer"

Let's talk about the clever dripper - this piece of kit is like a hybrid.  It's as though a V60 dripper and a cafetiere got together one night and the result is this.  It's a dripper - so you pour the coffee into the "bowl" with a filter paper - but then you turn a valve and the resulting brew pours into your mug - so like a cafetiere the coffee brews by immersion in the bowl.

It's a brewing device so brilliantly simple it makes you wonder why you spent all that money on high-tech espresso machines and complicated pour-over contraptions. It’s the coffee brewer for people who want great coffee without the morning drama. And let’s face it, if you’re reaching for coffee, you’ve already had enough drama.

How It Works: Brewing for the Chronically Uncaffeinated

Using the Clever Dripper is so easy, it almost feels like cheating. Here’s the process:

1. Filter, Coffee, Water—Done
   Toss in a paper filter, add your coffee grounds, and pour in hot water. Stir if you’re feeling ambitious.
2. Sit and Steep
   Let the coffee sit while you debate whether it’s worth folding that pile of laundry today. The Clever Dripper doesn’t care if you steep for three minutes or five—it’s not here to judge.
3. Release the Brew
   Place the Dripper on your mug, and the valve releases the coffee like a caffeinated floodgate. It’s like magic, except it’s just gravity and a really well-designed mechanism.

Of course, the Clever Dripper has its quirks. For starters, it’s made of plastic. BPA-free, sure, but it’s not going to win any beauty contests against a sleek ceramic pour-over. And while it’s practically indestructible, its looks might remind you of the Tupperware cabinet you’d rather not open.

And let’s not forget the valve. It’s amazing—until you forget to put the Dripper on your mug and accidentally release coffee all over your counter. Not that this has ever happened to us ....
