Clever Dripper Brew Guide
Full Flavour. Clean Finish. Foolproof Brewing.
Love the richness of a French Press but prefer the clean taste of a pour-over? Meet the Clever Dripper — an easy, forgiving brew method that combines immersion and filtration for a smooth, balanced cup with minimal effort.
No complicated pouring techniques. No barista skills required. Just consistently great coffee.
What You’ll Need
☕ Medium-Coarse Ground Coffee
(Recommended: Beanfull Clever Dripper Grind)
Texture should resemble coarse sand
💧 Filtered Hot Water
Around 92–96°C (just off the boil)
🫖 Clever Dripper
📄 Paper Filter
☕ Mug or Server
🥄 Spoon or Stirrer
Brewing Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare Your Filter
Place a paper filter into the Clever Dripper and rinse it with hot water.
This removes any paper taste and preheats your brewer.
Discard the rinse water.
Step 2 — Add Coffee
Add your ground coffee to the brewer.
Recommended Ratio:
1:15 coffee-to-water ratio
(Example: 20g coffee for 300ml water)
Step 3 — Pour Water
Slowly pour hot water over the coffee grounds until fully saturated.
Give it a gentle stir to ensure even extraction.
Step 4 — Let It Steep
Place the lid on and allow the coffee to steep for 2½–4 minutes.
Suggested brew times:
• 2½–3 minutes → Lighter, brighter cup
• 3–3½ minutes → Balanced & sweet
• 4 minutes → Fuller body and deeper flavour
Step 5 — Release the Brew
Place the Clever Dripper on top of your mug or server.
The valve at the bottom will automatically release the coffee, filtering it through the paper.
Let it drain completely — usually within 30–60 seconds.
Step 6 — Sip & Enjoy
Enjoy a clean, flavourful cup with a smooth finish.
Perfect black, or with a splash of milk if preferred.
Pro Tips for a Better Cup
✨ Rinse your filter first
It improves flavour and helps maintain brewing temperature.
✨ Adjust steep time to taste
Longer brew = richer body. Shorter brew = brighter cup.
✨ Fresh coffee matters
Freshly ground beans unlock better aroma and sweetness.
✨ Experiment with ratios
Want stronger coffee? Increase coffee dose instead of reducing water.
