Kalita Wave Pour Over Coffee Dripper, Size 185​, Makes 16-26oz, Single Cup Maker, Heat-Resistant Glass, Patented & Portable,black

Excellent pour over coffee dripper. I've been making pour over coffee for 15-20 years, depending on a trusty Hario ceramic dripper which recently shattered (because of a drop of 1 foot onto granite countertop!). The Kalita Wave makes and similar if not better cup. With three holes at the (flat) bottom of the dripper, the coffee flows evenly if a bit slowly after the coffee grounds are saturated. The Kalita is impressively lightweight and easy to clean, drying quickly, It's small, so it won't take up much space in your pantry, although on the other hand #2 filters are best suited to the cone size. Still #4 filters do work, but they stick up a bit from the top edge of the dripper. I like the fact that the dripper is made of heat resistant glass which is the only thing the coffee comes in contact with. The plastic base fits over the top of a carafe perfectly.

This is the best tool for drip coffee lovers. Perfect one cup pour over and the glass is preferable over any other other material: the only way to go!

Used it this morning with reusable stainless filter. Made a great cup of coffee. Love it because my wife and I go through a pot pretty quickly, and this allows me to make one more big cup without having to make a half-pot.

So I have just started to pursue better coffee-making methods. I knew that I wanted to have a pour-over set-up at work, which is where my morning coffee is consumed. I started to research all the different devices and it seemed like they all did things a bit differently. I went with the Kalita based on the reviews and many coffee enthusiast sites recommending it. So far, things things puts out some great coffee! It takes me roughly 5 minutes to fully brew a cup, that is heating, grinding, pouring, and all. It is easy to clean and I have not noticed any stains from the coffee, but only time will tell with that. I do not think it will be an issue as long as you clean after each use. Being this is my first pour over I cannot compare it to others. I will say that it easily beats out my French press. I have tried a few different roasts in the press and then with the Kalita, and the Kalita produces a much better flavor. The only con I can really think of is that you have to buy the Kalita filters it seems due to the shape. It may be possible to use a regular filter, but the Kalita narrows toward the bottom. Not a huge deal breaker but just something to note.

Works great but is fragile...

Easy to use, easy to clean. Seems sturdy and well made. We will buy another at some point to make 2 cups at once. We like the flat bottom, it seems to help with the coffee flow. It fits well on almost all our mugs.

I’ve used it a few times using Jamaican Blue Mountain and following traditional pour over technique and this delivers a clean, crisp strong cup of coffee with a solid crema with no bitterness. The flavors just sing. Far superior to French press or aero press or other single serve methods.

It makes great coffee, but the glass tends to slip out of the plastic if you’re hand-washing. I’ve gone through three already; a friend broke hers the first time she used it.

With a bit of experimentation (grinding coarser than I’d have thought plus slightly less hot water than I’d have thought @ 85C) I’m able to consistently brew sweet, rounded coffee with no bitterness or sourness. It’s more forgiving than a V60 and in my view brews a better cup of coffee most of the time. The heat retention on the glass is very good - perhaps because the glass is so thin, it heats up faster and so helps make a good cup of coffee. The price for the system is excellent and when combined with cheap and widely available filters makes for a very affordable way to make coffee. You might not think the filters point adds up to much: but hear me out. My previous brewer was a Fellow Stagg, and filters for that cannot now be had for anything like a reasonable price (currently £18.99 for 30 filters - ridiculous). It’s a huge point in Kalita’s favour that filters for this Wave 185 system are orders of magnitude more affordable and you can get them in many places. The cost per cup will be that much lower - you can put that money back into good beans. Other things to note: It’s easy to clean (dishwasher or hand soap), the filters are widely available, and it’s a nice looking thing too. The glass is thinner and probably more delicate than I’d have expected but seems to have held up so far.
