The Abid Clever Coffee Dripper solves most of the problems that other pourover drip cones have consistently suffered; namely, it allows you to control the amount of time the water stays in contact with the coffee and includes a lid to hold the temperature. The dripper presents in much the same way as a French press but with less fines or crunchies in the cup. They make great gifts and travel brewers as well. The Clever Dripper works best with a #4 filter but can also be used with a #2. For instructions on how to brew, see How To Brew.
