Alright, alright, alright, (we say in honor of Matthew McConaughey, excuse us that’s Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey) it’s Wednesday! And of course, hardly even needs saying at this point, but Wednesday’s are when we play Humpday Giveaway our weekly trivia contest for fun and awesome prizes!
This week’s prize comes to us from the great folks at Prima Coffee Equipment. It’s a great way to brew a tasty cup of your favorite coffee, and really a must have for any home (or travel) brew station. It’s a Clever Coffee Dripper, and it comes with a 100-pack of Melitta filters, so you can start brewing as soon as you open your kit.
Here’s what Prima has to say about the Clever:
Aptly named the Clever, Abid’s full-immersion dripper produces a clean, tasty cup that couldn’t be any easier to use. To brew a cup, simply place a filter in the brewer, add ground coffee, pour water over the coffee, steep for 2-4 minutes, and then place the dripper on top of your cup. The cup’s rim engages the release valve and the coffee begins to drain through the bottom of the dripper into your cup. Depending on the size selected, this brewer takes either a standard #2 or #4 filter, either of which can be selected after clicking “Add to Cart.” If more filters are needed, see our listing for Melitta coffee filters .

Love that shop!
Bill’s first shop was Coffee Exchange in Providence, RI. He opened it in 1977 and it’s still going strong- continuing to beat out all of the other shops for “Best Coffee Shop in RI” although my shop, Empire Tea and Coffee, was a close second.
