Wave Ceramic Dripper - 185

Brilliant coffee dripper when used with the Kalita wave filters. This makes wonderful smooth coffee, so easy to use, easy to clean----Brilliant !

In my opinion this consistently brews a technically perfect cup but one which is flat and not that interesting. I'd suggest only buying this after you have most of the other brewers.

今年になってから、ドリップでコーヒーを 飲むのが定番になりました(*'ω｀*) ドリップは、同じカリタ式の3穴使用を 使用していたのですが、如何に美味しく入れるか 色々試している時に、カリタのウェーブを 見つけて試してみたくなり購入しました(*'ω｀*) 従来のドリッパーと異なり、底が円で平になっていて 落とし溜？のようになっています そしてカリタ式定番の3穴が開いている構造になっており 安定してコーヒーをドリップできるように感じます＾＾ フィルターも専用のヒダがあって、底は平らになっていて むら無くドリップできるのも良いのかもと思います＾＾ また、本体は、有田焼で作られていて お洒落で暖かみのある雰囲気です(*'ω｀*) ウェーブを使い出してから、安定して 美味しいコーヒーが飲めるようになったと感じます(｀･ω･')ゞ でわわ♫

Es una excelente opción, cerámica!!

It's great having an excellent tool like this for making pour overs at home!

I bought the Kalita as it is what you see at the best coffee shops. It did not disappoint. In fact, I love it. The coffee is amazing, though a bit dependent on your technique. I think the Kalita filters must help because if you pour in a decent amount of water, the coffee grounds actually move into the grooves and up the filter. It makes sense to me that the water will be in greater contact with the grounds. I can pour a strong coffee with any pour over, but strongest with the Kalita. Compared to Chemex (I have one at work), I think I can pour a stronger cup with the Kalita. The Kalita is super easy to clean and store, which is a major plus for me. I do get a slightly different flavor with Chemex, but it may be due to SS filter. They are both awesome, but I think the Kalita is a little "smoother" and my coffee retains its temperature better than the Chemex by the time I actually get to drink it. The down side to the Kalita is the size. If you want to make a decent pot of coffee, there isn't nearly as much volume for grounds and water as the Chemex. So, in summary, for my personal use at home, I prefer the Kalita (and for taste), but for work, the Chemex is functionally better. Bonus on the Kalita, is you can travel with it very easily! Cleaning is a simple rinse and drip dry.

I can only compare the Kalita to the aeropress. I've been using the Kalita for about 2 years and at least 5 with the aeropress (does not get much use anymore). Side note, I use the 155 (stainless) if I am only making a cup for myself (250g) and 185 (ceramic) for my wife and I (620g). In general, I believe the Kalita makes a superior cup than the aeropress but it takes more experimentation to make that great cup. In my experience, I had to put in more time in getting the right grind size, ratio, and pour technique to get great results but you will be rewarded. A quality burr grinder (I use the Lido 2), scale, and gooseneck pourer (the slower the better) are essential. With the aeropress you can "throw anything at it" and the coffee is very good and it does not require any special pour technique - just pour from a pot. I'll also add, at least for me, the experience of making coffee with the Kalita is very pleasant/more relaxing - it takes more time but I enjoy the procedure. If you are not patient my recommendation is to not purchase this. Finally, the Kalita is as easy as it gets to clean - throw out filter and short water rinse and you are done. I look at it as the total time is about equal to the aeropress but I rather spend more time brewing and less with cleaning than the opposite. Good Luck.
