    I have one of those Clever Dripper things. When I first got it I didn't have any of the recommended Filtropa filter papers but I did have some Hario ones so I used them and they worked fine. Now the Filtropa papers have a flat tabbed bottom whereas the Harios have a pointy bottom. Since the...

    Hi. Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I've now received a Clever Coffee dripper & finally I'm getting (IMHO) a decent cup of coffee. It's very easy to do, I've tweaked the grind a couple of times & all's good. I don't need goose neck kettle, I guess the steep timing at about 2...

    Well, thanks for your advice. I'm willing to try anything so I'll follow your procedure. Just one thing, it sounds like I'm going to end up with what I would call cold coffee - 20 minutes plus? I guess I'd need to stick it the microwave afterwards as I don't like it cold. So here goes...

    I have 0.1g scales. Brew size may be a problem as my preferred cup size is 140ml & I'm the only coffee drinker here. The cafetiere is a small one. Mostly the coffee tastes bitter so I can't drink it without sugar. Main reason for getting a clever dripper is that it's less complicated (I've...

    Hi A few years ago I had a blade grinder and a cafetiere but I wasn't satisfied so I bought a Hario Skerton hand grinder. That didn't really make a great deal of difference so I decided to focus on the brewing method so I changed to a V60 dripper. That was kinda OK but I wasn't satisfied so I...
