Clever Dripper Brewer + Filters
For our home brewing, we have two brewers that we use more than others, and the clever dripper is one of them. This dripper is a no-fuss brewer which creates a delicious cup and is easy to clean and maintain.
The Clever Dripper is a full-immersion method of brewing coffee just like a French Press but with the added benefit of having a filter. This creates a clean and full-bodied cup without any sediment on the bottom. It uses a standard #4 filter which can be bought at any supermarket. The maximum volume is 500ml which equates to 2 cups of coffee.

Prep protocol
Fill kettle to maximum volume, and set to boil (100°C / 212°F)
Carefully fold seams of paper filter to allow filter to sit flush in the dripper

Empty water from dripper, place on scale, tare
Brewing protocol
Add boiling water (100°C / 212°F) to full weight (250g)
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!
