The Kalita Wave stainless steel coffee maker 1-2 cup (155) and 2-4 cups (185) are the de facto standard in flat bottom coffee brewers.
Flat bottom
When it comes to filter brewing there are three standard triangle, cone or flat. Each has their own recognised standard. For the flat bottom brewer the Kalita Wave is the industries go to.
The three small holes are separated by ridges that promote a drainage rate that Kalita feels best suits most coffees.
What we like
The Kalita Wave coffee brewer is available in other choices but the stainless steel is the classic. The155 is ideal for the traveller, and the 185 perfect for the home brewer. By using the stainless steel option the brewer is strong and reliable.
The design creates a balanced extraction for most coffees, and is especially suitable to specialty coffee.
In summary a practical and easy to use brewer for anyone that love pour-over,
Not so keen on
Wave filters are difficult too wet without changing the shape. Although Kalita recommend not pre wetting, we feel it is necessary to get rid of the slight paper taste. The dripper is also on the expensive side.
And now a word from…
In Kalita’s words:
20 Waves
The feature of the Wave Series 185 (155) is that the contact surface between the filter and the inner dripper with 20 waves is on the side, and is not in contact with the flat bottom. Due to the limited contact surfaces, hot water does not accumulate when poured in the long-term at an angle, but rather quickly drips to the Wave Zone.
Wave Zone
Even if the hot water is poured in at an angle, the bottom is flat, so the grounds are easily made uniform and coffee can be simply made without loss in taste.
Kalita Style Three Holes
Hot water does not accumulate when poured in the long-term, but rather quickly drips to the Wave Zone. Therefore, only deliciousness is dripped before the bitterness comes out.
