How to Brew the Abid Clever (Brew Guide/Recipe with Video!)

We're huge fans of the Abid Clever. Munenori Kawasaki of the Toronto Blue Jays won't stop mentioning bush parties, we're a bit like that: we can't stop talking about the Abid Clever.

This brewing device is the best of both words with the immersion that makes it a bit like a french press but with the cleanliness of the filtered brew that makes it a bit like a V60. There are some coffees that really do benefit from this duality and we really recommend testing out your coffees from each pack to see which ones works best.

We have moments – where we’re having a conversation with someone within the coffee industry and something they tell us blows us away.

If the November Coffees were Songs?

We recently mailed out the November Issue of the Roasters Pack, which featured coffee from Kittel Coffee Co., Other Brother Roasters & Pig Iron Coffee Roasters. Each one of the coffees had a diverse flavor set and unique taste characteristics.

It surprisingly took us a fair amount of time to decide since we’re music junkies and we had to find the absolute, utmost, correct tune. It was a very scientific process (probably about as complicated as the Rosetta comet landing) and we have the results below!
