Clever Dripper

The Clever Dripper is a mix between a French Press and a Pour-over coffee maker, bringing the best out of the two extraction methods; immersion and filter. Its shape is reminiscent of the pour-over coffee maker but uses the immersion method thanks to a special valve placed at the bottom.
