Bought my wife a Clever dripper so she can brew good coffee when I'm not around. She can use a V60 but it's really finnicky and results can vary

This thing is GREAT! I've been using it myself since then!

If you didn't know, it's a combo immersion/drip brewer, so you kind of get the best of both a french press and drip brewer. Quicker than a french press, more consistent than a hand drip.

Have made some excellent brews with this, and it's made me appreciate some beans I wasn't really into before. It's really idiot proof! Just put the water in first, and then stir the grinds in. This lets it pour more a lot more freely, which puts an end to the immersion as soon as you start dripping it.

Hario has their own version too that might be cheaper or nicer. The Clever is a big clunky thing lol

Def worth checking out as a gift if you know someone who is getting into specialty coffee.
