Posted Wed Nov 21, 2012, 2:39pm Subject: Clever Coffee Dripper CCD - Differences in design?
Here is a picture - I just picked up a new CCD for a potential Christmas present. My original one is from Amazon - supposedly from SM, but it doesn't have a logo. It looks like the one on their page: http://www.sweetmarias.com/clevercoffeedripperpictorial.php
Looking inside, the newest one I got today has more open area at the bottom of the filter, with slatted supports, whereas my older one has the small ribs to a smaller opening to the valve. There's also a small difference in how the handle connects to the cone.
I can't tell which one is newer or if the one I just got was old stock that's been around. It was purchased at a local coffee shop, and it HAS the Sweet Marias logo on it.

Also, there is a subtle difference in the shape of the base - the valve component appears to be interchangeable.

Obviously, the newer one is the one that looks like coffee never touched it. LOL

This could be a good time to upgrade if Prima Coffee considers the CCD to be a form of pour over.
I chew coffee beans with my teeth while gargling with 195 F water to enjoy coffee. What is this "coffee brewing" device you speak of?
