In this tutorial, we’ll be showcasing the Clever Dripper, as a top-notch alternative home brewing method. The Clever Dripper is actually one of the very first coffee brewers that I ever owned and used to make myself a coffee at home. It might not be the most gorgeous gizmo to grace the speciality coffee scene, but it’s a fantastic, nifty little gadget that holds a firm place in my heart. I still remember the first conversation that I had about the Clever Dripper – it was with an innovative specialty coffee roaster, who was forever introducing me to the latest big things in the world of coffee. They said that, if they could choose only one brewing method for the rest of their life, they would choose Clever Dripper. I am not sure whether or not I would say that I agree with them, but I do understand the reasons behind this claim – the Clever Dripper ticks all the boxes for an easy to use, reliable and consistent brewing method of choice. A secret weapon of Clever Dripper is…The secret weapon of Clever Dripper is the valve. It allows users to combine immersion coffee brewing (like you would with French Press) with drip coffee brewing (like in V60 or Chemex brewing methods). Back when we were making a movie covering the AeroPress method, we actually found out that the AeroPress inverted method was modelled after, at that time, the popular Clever Dripper. Nowadays, a similar principle is used by other brewers, such as the Bonavita Immersion Dripper, Wilfa Pour Over or GINA by Goat Story (what you’ll find with all of these, however, is that they’re much more expensive). So, without further ado, below you’ll find our tutorial for making coffee with the Clever Dripper. Along the way, we’ll also be going through some of the main advantages and disadvantages of this brewer, as well as some additional brewing tips and cleaning instructions. Our Clever Dripper recipe
In general, Clever Dripper recipes range from 2 to 4 minutes of total brew time, and you just need to adjust the grind size accordingly. Personally, we like to opt for the longer brews, simply because it gives you more time to clean the kitchen or prepare your breakfast.

Kopi Ciberecek umumnya diseduh secara manual salah satunya dengan menggunakan metode Clever Dripper. Untuk penyeduhan segelas kopi Ciberecek yang panas dibutuhkan 17 gram kopi Ciberecek dengan grind size kasar dan takaran air sebanyak 225 ml dengan suhu berkisar 93°Celsius. Diperlukan 2 kali tahap penyeduhan dimana pada tahap blooming awal menggunakan air sebanyak 65 ml dengan waktu tunggu sekitar 45 detik. Kemudian pada tahap kedua dilakukan dengan menuang 160 ml air dan ditunggu hingga 2 menit 45 detik. Dengan menggunakan teknik immersion yg dimiliki oleh clever dripper, ekstraksi pada kopi bisa dimaksimalkan karena bubuk kopi dan air diendapkan secara bersamaan sesuai waktu yang diinginkan. Setelah 2 menit 45 detik, hasil seduhan dituang ke dalam gelas saji dengan cara meletakkan clever di permukaan gelas dan hasil seduhan Ciberecek akan secara otomatis keluar tanpa membawa bubuk kopi. Hasil seduhan ini akan mengeluarkan aroma raspberry yang harum, lalu ketika dinimum akan terasa asam dan manis seperti tangerine, lalu disambut dengan body yang cukup tebal dan aftertaste raspberry. Penggunaan air mineral yang tepat juga akan memberi pengaruh pada karakter rasa dan kualitas dari seduhan kopi. Sebaiknya menggunakan air mineral yang memiliki kandungan pH sekitar 7.
