It’s Sunday morning and I’m sitting at my desk enjoying a freshly brewed coffee. Brilliant.
You may remember that I recently wrote about the The Death of the Breville, a sad tale of the end of the line for my old coffee dripper. Today I’m sipping coffee made with a device that brews coffee just as I drink it, one mug full at a time.
It’s the Clever Coffee Dripper from Five Senses and it’s wonderful.
So what is the Clever Coffee Dripper? I’ll let Five Senses explain.
It’s a free standing, one cup filter (which is often called a pour-over) with one very important addition — a valve that keeps your brew from drawing down until you activate it by sitting it on a cup. What’s so good about that? Well, the way the valve works means that you can control all the variables of your brew independently of each other. You know the ones I’m talking about! No matter which brewing method you’re using, it always comes down to the same variables — grind size, the amount of coffee you dose, water weight, water temperature and the amount of time that the water and coffee are in contact.
One of the great things about the Clever Coffee Dripper is that you can get involved in the process of creating the perfect cup. Not that it’s terribly involved or that you have to nurse the device through the process but you do have control over various elements that lets you ensure you get the brew you want. I’ve experimented a couple of times since the Clever Coffee Dripper arrived and I reckon I’ve got it just how I like it. From here on in I’ll be drinking my favourite brew whenever the mood hits.
Oh … one last thing. Just because the Clever Coffee Dripper comes from Five Senses doesn’t mean that you can only brew coffee from their extensive coffee range through it … but seriously … why would you use anything other than Five Senses?
