Hey! I am very curious about this dripper. I would love if someone who uses the clever could let me know how it compares, especially in terms of using it as a full immersion brewer? I use the clever for 99% of my brews and find that it is not only the most consistent brewer, but the tastiest brewer for me. My favorite brews come from a batch brewer, and I find the coffees that come from the clever are very similar. I'm wondering if it's a worthy upgrade as a daily driver and would appreciate any guidance!

What if you switch your catching vessel to a saucer or bowl?

Been using mine for almost 2 weeks now. Doses between 12 grams up to 30 grams, using Gagne's recipe, have been amazing. Medium/fine grind (4 on an Ode Gen2) I've found I'm using smaller doses, but getting better results than my old Kalita Wave that I had dialed in rally well after 10 years of use. I've tried Lance's percolative immersion recipe a couple of times, but the resulting cups were really strong and I had to water them down. It's really not worth it to me, for the extra time it takes, and the fact that the Gangne recipe is so simple and delicious. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Which Moccamaster? I was able to remove mine to create this automated monstrosity.
