Paper Filter
Grinder
Scale
Timer
Step 1
Bring filtered water to boil.
​
Step 2
Weigh out coffee and grind it to a coarse grind.
​
Step 3
Form the filter into a cone and place it in the Clever Coffee Dripper. Using freshly boiled water, wet the paper filter evenly. This helps to remove any ‘paper taste’, and warms the brewing apparatus. Discard the rinsing water.
​
Step 4
Pour the coffee grounds into the filter and level them with a gentle shake to make the coffee bed even. This will allow for a more even pour.
​
Step 5
Start the timer. Pour in the indicated amount of water that is slightly off boil.
​
Step 6
At the 1 min 30 sec mark, agitate the brew with a few stirs and put the cover back on.
​
Step 7
Just before the end of the brew time, give the coffee one last stir.
​
Step 8
At the 4 min mark, decant the coffee brew by sitting the Clever Coffee Dripper over a mug and releasing the valve.
Grind Size Guidelines for Popular Brewing Methods Coarse Grind Ideal for: French Press, Cold Brew Texture: Chunky, resembling ground peppercorns Why?: These methods require longer brewing times, and the coarse grind prevents over-extraction. Medium Grind Ideal for: Drip Coffee Makers, Aeropress (long brew times), and Chemex Texture: Gritty, like coarse sand Why?: Medium grind balances water flow and extraction for these methods. Medium-Fine Grind Ideal for: Pour-Over (e.g., Hario V60) and Metal Filters Texture: Slightly finer than table salt Why?: Provides a faster extraction while avoiding over-extraction. Fine Grind Ideal for: Espresso Machines Texture: Like white sugar Why?: Espresso relies on high pressure and short brew times, requiring fine particles for full flavour extraction. Extra-Fine Grind Ideal for: Turkish Coffee Texture: Powdery, resembling flour or icing sugar Why?: Turkish coffee is brewed without filters, so an ultra-fine grind ensures a smooth texture and robust flavour.
