Clever Dripper L

Adjustable Time

Counter Culture Coffee's Clever guide starts with a stirred bloom, then moves into full immersion before release. Its adjustable steep lets the brewer trade a lighter, cleaner profile for more body while remaining repeatable.

Notes

At 30s, stir just enough to eliminate dry pockets. Release at 2 min for a lighter cup or wait until 3 min for more body; keep grind fixed while comparing steep times so the effect is easy to judge.
