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?


At the risk of buying two more brewers instead of just one, what’s this coffee after water method? Isn’t that more of as immersion brew?
It’s literally adding the coffee after pouring the water. It supposedly helps reduce filter clogging with the Clever. And yes, the Clever is an immersion brewer with a little bit of percolation at the end, as a treat.
Yeah @AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org is spot on. So I think if you want something percolation base, the Hoop could still be a good shout.
Mr Hoffman has a video guide on the Clever Dripper method AdamBomb and I mention too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpOdennxP24
