  • The one problem I have encountered is when I dropped the cone and a foot broke off, rendering the stop-flow valve less functional. You could superglue a foot back on, or prop it up with something. So try not to drop it - at least not on a concrete floor!
  • Cone with removable lid
  • The stopper mechanism for the dripper. Liquid only drains out when the dripper is placed on a cup.
  • Too fine grind (left) and too coarse grind (right) comparing opacity in the cup with a back light. Not very scientific, but telling.
  • Cone without coffee. Cone takes a #4 or #6 filter.
  • The is the suggested way to fold your filter before inserting it into your Clever Dripper.

Quick Overview

I am really excited about this little filtercone; I think it greatly improves the quality of the coffee you brew. And it is so simple! You get full flavor extraction every time and good body. It differs from a normal filtercone by way of a stopper added to the bottom: water only drains once the filtercone is placed onto a cup.


In essence, the Clever Coffee Dripper combines the best features of French press and filter drip brewing, eliminating the drawbacks of each. With French press brewing, you have control over steeping time, but heat loss and sediment in the cup can be a problem. Brewing with a paper filter is easy and convenient; the problem is lack of control over steeping time (i.e. the coffee begins to drain immediately). By adding a stopper to the filtercone, the Clever Coffee Dripper combines control over steeping time with a sediment-free cup. We call this a "full immersion brewing" method. Plus, they now come with a lid! The lid is important to keep the hot during infusion. We have used all manner of small plates, saucers, etc which all work but it is nice to have an actual lid now. (They still have a coaster - which is smaller with a lip on it. The lid is larger with a small handle in the middle.)


Like all filtercone brewing methods, you directly control the temperature of the water, ratio of water and coffee and infusion time.


The filtercone takes a #4 Size Filter. For much more information, check out our Clever Coffee Dripper detail page and we also have a pdf Tip Sheet. You can read discussion of the Clever Coffee Dripper on the SM Coffee Forum here. The dripper will fit on cups and thermoses with tops wider than 1.5" and less than 3.75" in diameter. Of course, if you put the dripper on a very narrow thermos, you should make sure the dripper is stable. BPA-free Plastic.  Not dishwasher or microwave safe.


If you have the dripper and need/want the lid - we do sell lids separately. Wholesale quantities are available through our wholesale site, Coffee Shrub
