Well done! Love the shirt and hat.

Here is a new thing I learned: - You should stir the coffee after it gets filtered before pouring it into your cup.

[@SteveB357]

And it brews wonderful loose tea!

[@OnyxCoffeeLab]

Such a versatile brewer!

[@GormGrumGormly]

I hadn’t even thought about that

[@garycomp6494]

Have you changed your method since this video was made? In particular coffee or water first?

[@BrewingUpSomeKnowledge]

Great choice of music, paak ftw

[@OnyxCoffeeLab]

Excellent brew music!

[@MichaelDavid7777]

I’ve just ordered this brewer should be here in a week or so, your videos gives me confidence I can get my brew right. But why oh why did you not use the spout of that beautiful jug (and it is a beautiful jug) to pour into your cup !

[@OnyxCoffeeLab]

Hahaha! The spout of those decanters tends to drip down the front, so we usually pour heavier out the side.

great video, thanks ☺

GOOD NEWS

[@GeraldPost]

How does one make 2 mugs (ceramic, not see-through) of coffee with a Clever dripper and minimal other stuff? All videos conveniently show one mug/cup only.

[@CEG3RD]

I see the Clever on Amazon and there are also replacement parts for the mechanical part of the brewer. This makes me worry about it being fragile. Anybody run into that?

[@markmooder6206]

Had mine for just over a month now and I am happy with it’s construction. It even survived getting knocked from the counter onto a ceramic tile floor.

[@smallpp688]

What grind setting do you recommend on encore?

[@OnyxCoffeeLab]

I did, 12, I believe. What I would for a Kalita, which is more fine than traditional Clever recipes. You'll find an updated Clever Dripper guide in our Equipment Guide playlist!

[@smallpp688]

@@OnyxCoffeeLab ok your new update one says 14, does that seem to be a better balance than 12?

[@OnyxCoffeeLab]

@@smallpp688 The new one also does water first. So, it is a very different recipe. You could try both and see. 12, should work well with the new one as well.

[@smallpp688]

@@OnyxCoffeeLab Thank you so much so glad I stumbled on your guises channel I use almost all your how to videos for my pour overs Now I just need to order some of your guys his coffee

[@ersozsozer2]

similar to french press method ...

[@Swiftceo]

Just a different take on immersion brewing

[@OnyxCoffeeLab]

Exactly, you get some immersion benefits with extra clarity of being drawn through a paper filter.

but better. 😎 You gotta love the easy clean up
