The Mr. Clever was designed by Taiwan's E.K Company, combining convenience and professionalism, and is deeply loved by coffee enthusiasts. It differs fundamentally from pour-over coffee in its extraction principle: pour-over is a drip extraction method, where water continuously passes through the coffee grounds layer, resulting in distinct flavor layers and high clarity; while the Mr. Clever uses immersion extraction, where the coffee grounds are fully immersed in water throughout, resulting in more even and thorough extraction, with more pronounced body and sweetness. This article will explain in a Step by Step manner the complete brewing process of the Mr. Clever, from selecting a filter, warming the cup, grinding, pouring water, to immersion and dripping, helping coffee lovers master this practical tool and flexibly adjust parameters according to personal taste, so they can consistently produce a good cup of coffee at home.

For those who prefer a clean, refreshing flavor profile, the Mr. Clever is a brewing device worth getting to know in depth. This product, designed and developed by Taiwan's E.K Company, has a catchy name—Mr. Clever, known in Chinese as "聪明杯" (the Clever Cup). It balances ease of operation with professional-grade results, and from its appearance to its choice of materials, it is quite refined, which is why it has many fans among coffee enthusiasts. However, many people are still unfamiliar with exactly how to use the Mr. Clever, so let's walk through it step by step.

Step 1: First, choose a suitable filter paper. Here, it is recommended to use a 2-4 cup 102 fan-shaped filter paper. Before正式 use, you need to fold the two sealed edges of the fan-shaped filter paper separately.

As shown in the picture, the two edges should be folded in opposite directions.

Step 2: Place the filter paper into the Mr. Clever, trying to make it fit against the inner wall of the cup, and position it as flat as possible.

Step 3: Pour a small amount of water around the edges of the filter paper to moisten it, so that the filter paper can better adhere to the cup wall.

Step 4: Grind the coffee beans to a medium coarseness. About 20g of coffee grounds with 300ml of water is sufficient, and the specific amount can be adjusted according to personal taste. Pour the ground coffee into the Mr. Clever.

Step 5: The ideal water temperature range for extracting coffee is 90°C to 96°C, so you can heat the water to 96°C (in plain areas, water basically reaches this temperature when it boils).

Step 6: Pour 96°C hot water into the Mr. Clever, controlling the amount to 300ml.

Step 7: Stir to allow the coffee grounds and water to fully contact and blend.

Step 8: Cover with the lid and let the coffee steep for about 3 minutes. During this time, the water temperature will gradually drop to around 90°C. Temperature control has a great impact on the final taste of the coffee, so it is recommended to preheat the container or cup that will hold the coffee in advance.

Step 9: Place the Mr. Clever over a suitable container, and the coffee liquid will automatically flow out from the bottom of the cup. Enjoy this wonderful dripping process.

Step 10: Remove the Mr. Clever and pour out the coffee. A cup of rich, aromatic, wonderful coffee is yours.
