It’s a light plastic bowl shape with a hole in the center where a black plastic cylindrical piece screws in. About as tall as a coffee mug and twice as wide.

I’m really into coffee. I have an Aeropress and a home espresso machine. I recently got a V60 to make pour overs for my partner who likes gentle flavors and I’m doing OK with it, but it does tax my vision 20/200 in one eye.

For those not in the know, pour over is a coffee brewing technique where you pour hot water over coffee grounds on a poster filter. Think your Mr. Coffee, but manual. The V50 is basically a funnel with a flared base that you can put on top of a mug.

I just might get this brewer… Sometimes I’m not confident I can make a V60 without making a mess, but this looks so very convenient.

How do you fine folks make coffee? Do you feel limited by accessibility issues or do you have the perfect technique figured out?

    I didn’t agree with his knock on the Clever dripper as it’s not comparing like for like i.e. comparing a single cup brew between each brewer.

    The Clever Dripper is large enough that making a single 250ml cup isn’t risky as the water never gets half way up the brewer and you’re going to be picking up a mug anyway too so it seemed like a weird point to make. Though perhaps there are accessible mugs/cups out there so my counter point may be off.

    Still the hoop looks like a cool brewer but I find brewing with a Clever dripper so hassle free (I do the water then coffee method so no goose neck kettle needed) that I couldn’t justify getting it myself. The price is a little too much in my opinion
