French Press Depth & Quality
Why does a French press make such high-caliber coffee?
It allows for a deep steep, resulting in a richer, smoother brew.
But a traditional French press leaves sediment behind, which can mess with the coffee experience.
Clever Coffee Dripper solves this and gives you all the benefits of a French press without needing to fuss around with any fuss.
And the included 100 clever filters collect and trap all the grinds so you can enjoy a smooth clean brew every time.
Straightforward, Precise Brewing
You want a perfect cup NOW. But you know the best-tasting coffee takes time and tolerance to prepare. Or does it?
Savor all the benefits of high-caliber coffee in less time with less mess to cleanup.
Clever Coffee Dripper’s simple brewing process allows you to bloom and brew coffee to your precise preference.
The Clever Stopper Valve gives you full control of the brewing strength, while specially designed filters collect sediment, making cleanup easier than a french press.

Why this beats a french press:
With a french press contraption, the quality of your coffee is way better than what you would get with a normal drip machine because you actually get to steep the coffee grounds rather than just run hot water over it. Think of this as "marinating" your coffee. The downside to using a french press is two fold. First is what people call the "sludge" you'd get when using a french press. When you get to the bottom of your coffee, there is this slimy texture that just makes you not want to actually finish your cup of coffee. There are definitely ways to combat this sludge effect but it didn't really work for me.
The second reason why a CCD beats a french press is due to how easy it is to clean up. With a french press, dumping the grounds in your waste basket is definitely not hard to do. What is a pain is having to clean the plunger device. This plunger usually consists of three parts and you'd have to take them apart for cleaning after each and every time you use it. If not, coffee grinds will be stuck to it and stains will appear. The clean up process was one of the main reason why I had to switch to a single brew melitta filter.
Why this beats a melitta filter:
A single brew melitta filter is cheap, convenient and extremely easy to clean when done. If you are the only family member who drinks coffee, this little device is perfect for you. It's basically just a funnel if you think about it and that right there is why you won't get the best cup of coffee if you use this method. As soon as you pour hot water over the coffee grinds, the water drips into your cup. You actually don't get to steep your coffee. However, many users still prefer this method of brewing because it is so easy to use and clean up after.
Why the CCD rules them all:
The CCD allows you to steep your coffee because the water doesn't actually filter out until you place the CCD over your cup! This single feature is what makes this device so efficient. The "steep" you get equates to what you'd get when you use a french press. Because the coffee drips into your cup like a melitta filter, there is no extra piece to clean up. Once done, simply toss the #4 filter into your trash bin, rinse the CCD and you're done! For users who are afraid of their coffee losing temperature while steeping, the CCD comes with both a plastic base and lid. The base I find useless but the lid helps trap the heat while you are steeping the grinds. Unless you like to drink boiling water straight out of the kettle, I found that the temperature of my coffee is still hot enough for my preferences after extraction. It's much better than with a french press. The lid helps a whole lot. I usually steep for about 3 minutes.
Some might think the price is a bit too much but I believe it's definitely worth it.
My personal tips and advice:
- Never use soap to wash the CCD as it can affect the taste of your coffee.
- I normally do a "deep clean" of the CCD by just pouring in nothing but boiling water after every few days. I'd just let it sit inside and let the hot water remove some of the leftover coffee smell.
- Try to clean the CCD with hot water as much as possible if you have to rinse it right after a brew. Rinsing it with cold water might wrap the plastic.
- I never place the CCD upside down after cleaning or for any other purpose. Leave it upright as much as possible.
It's very convenient for me, especially because of the easy clean up. I use this along with an electric kettle that I keep at my desk, which lets me set up an easy routine. First I turn on the kettle (which takes about 3-5 minutes to boil water and turns itself off when it's done), then I go to the kitchen to get the Dripper ready. I rinse the filter, put my coffee in the dripper, and put a little bit of milk in my mug, all of which takes about a minute. I can then put the dripper on top of my mug (since there's no water in it yet) and can hold it all in one hand which is important for me to be able to swipe my keycard and open doors. By the time I get back to my desk, the water has usually boiled and cooled down a little. I set the timer for four minutes, pour in the hot water and a few minutes later have some great coffee at the perfect temperature to drink instantly. Clean up is also ridiculously easy (once again I can carry everything I need back to the kitchen with only one hand, then I just dump the filter in the compost bin, rinse out the Dripper, and quickly wash my mug and spoon).
All in all, this is the most convenient possible way for me to make coffee. Even if money were no object, I can make this coffee in less time than it would take me to walk to, and wait in line at the coffee shop.
Other people have already said it, but this makes a great cup of coffee. The reason it works is because it lets you immerse the coffee in hot water for a few minutes before it gets to your cup (Keurig, Mr. Coffee, and other cheap pour overs don't do this, and don't taste as good). Other simple options which create the same affect are a french press, or Aeropress, but I think this is more convenient. I could make a french press at my desk, but the clean up is a pain and I can't go back and forth to the kitchen single handedly. Aeropress has an easy cleanup, but has way too many parts to deal with for my situation at the office (it's a great option for home though, and can make a cup of coffee using slightly less grounds). You could also save $15 by using a measuring cup to steep your coffee before pouring it into a $5 pour-over to make coffee which would theoretically be just as good; but this would just add another messy thing to be cleaned up (and in my case carried around).
I also found two other similar devices out there. Another company makes a porcellan version of this which sounds very similar but costs twice as much. Porcellan retains heat better, and so it probably does make a little bit better cup of coffee, which might be worth it for some people. But porcellan is also fragile, which is a deal breaker for me since I need to carry this thing one handed across the office while opening and closing doors. There's also another plastic version which seems very similar to this and costs the same, but that one has a built in filter which means a messier clean up (although it also means you don't need to buy filters, which could be a selling point for some people).
So far, I haven't found any cons to this coffee making method. It's really on good for one cup at a time, which is fine for me at the office but would be annoying at home. Sometimes I notice a little drip of coffee makes it through to the coaster before I put it on my mug, that's not supposed to happen but it doesn't seem like a huge deal to me as long as I remember to use the coaster.
Over the last half-century I've used every coffee brewing mechanism and technique known to humanity, and I came to realize that pourover coffee is my favorite. And now, with the ability to make fully brewed grit-free pourover coffee, my quest for perfect coffee is over.
This device seems well designed and well built, and works exactly as advertises. At less than $40 this is a keeper. As an extra bonus my wife will be pleased that I can get rid of the many coffee-related devices that clutter up our cupboards.
