I’ve bought a Clever Dripper and put the Aeropress and cafetière in the loft. Whilst the Clever can’t do the volumes a large cafetière can, it makes great coffee with no sludge and easy clean-up (that’s compostable).
The brew method for two cups is:
- Fold the edges of your unbleached size 4 filter and put it in the Clever Dripper
- Rinse out the filter with warm water from the tap
- Grind 20g of beans to a little finer than a cafetière grind and boil your water
- Add 300g of water to the Clever Dripper, careful here because that’s very full
- Add coffee to water, do not stir
- Add 200g of water, it’ll be very full
- Leave for 5min as the coffee grounds create a crust
- Stir the crust in
- Leave for 5min
- Draw down into a carafe/thermos
