In this episode, Kenneth is joined by Josh Hockin - Head of Coffee at Eight Ounce Coffee out of Canada, who import and sale specialty coffee gear across North America, and beyond. They sit down to discuss one of the most innovative brewing tools there is – The Clever Dripper. Kenneth and Josh share how they use it. They include some tips and tricks you can use to make a consistently good cup of coffee and do so without things getting messy. Some highlights include coffee to water ratios, which filter to use, and maintenance tips.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The Clever Dripper is super simple – ideal for using first thing in the morning when you are still a bit groggy.
• The spring-loaded stopper at the bottom enables you to sit it on top of a mug and let the coffee drain out.
• Having a lid on the dripper helps to keep the heat in during extraction.
• Don´t use the maximum capacity.
• For the large Clever Dripper use the Melitta No. 4 (Kalita 103) filters.
• Every gram of coffee will typically hold on to about 1.5 to 2 grams of water.
• You can add your water first to create a more predictable drawdown time.
• Because the Clever is plastic, there is very little heat dissapation.

BEST MOMENTS

‘For an everyday cup, it's not a big investment and it makes delicious coffee.’
