The Clever Dripper is hands down my favorite coffee brewer and it's absolute peak in terms of both coffee quality and convenience. It's probably the easiest brewer to use and clean and it makes great coffee (provided you use good, fresh beans and a decent burr grinder). It's so good it's becoming the standard pour over method in many cafes because it's very consistent. Definitely my recommendation if you want to upgrade your coffee brewing habits without diving too deep down the rabbit hole.

    @njion ah, I've been trying to use it for the last few days and I've been disappointed so far, would you have any tip to share? I've been trying to follow the technique described here by James Hoffmann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpOdennxP24 I'm quite bad at describing coffee but I'd say the taste was not bad but really light and quite watery, lacking depth and roundness. I followed Hoffman's guidance for procedure, quantities and timing - going on the heavy side for coffee amount - so I don't think that's where the problem lies. (I mean, I don't care about following his technique exactly but he's no fool and I'm sure I should get a better result of I do it right.) As for grinding, I initially tried size 11 on my Baratza Encore, and the next time I tried size 8 and it was... a bit better but not that much. I could try even finer but it seems weirdly fine with that kind of technique?
