Product Information

Through the information in this guide, you bought your first Kalita Wave. Admittedly, you’re not sure how to use it. In this section, we’ll explain, going step by step. Brewing with a Hario V60 takes a little more practice and skill compared to the Kalita Wave. However, the basics of using a Hario V60 are the same. The Chemex Coffee Maker is a classic and probably the most iconic drip coffee maker of all time. Nowadays, it comes in various designs but the glass and wood-collar version is the OG. To brew using the Kalita Wave, you simply put the filter in, add medium-ground coffee, and pour in hot water. The dripper does the rest, funneling the coffee down through the filter and through the three small holes in the bottom into your cup.

Coffee extraction data from a coffee refractometer is recorded to assess any impact the brewer's design has on extraction In my experience, the Kalita Wave 185 can’t really brew a good cup with less than 25 grams of coffee. My standard Kalita Wave recipe uses a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio, equaling about 12 ounces of coffee. It’s perfect for large mugs, travel cups, or serving a few people. You want to serve a crowd – The best way to brew a full carafe of great pour-over coffee is with the 10-cup Chemex. Not only can it make up to 50 ounces of coffee, but it doubles as a beautiful serving vessel to impress your guests.

Is Bigger Better for You?

The way it works is that you pour all the water in at once. There is an easy shut-off valve that holds your coffee until the brewing process is finished. Once you place the dripper on top of your range server, the valve releases the beverage. Instead, I’d opt for the ceramic version which has a much more consistent flow rate. The glass model also brews great coffee but it’s very fragile. If you’re just a little bit clumsy – like most of us are in a caffeine-deprived early morning state – then go for the ceramic one. I have experienced clogging issues with the Kalita Wave because it uses three small holes rather than one large one. The wet slurry can settle more into one or more of the holes, yielding a slow or uneven coffee extraction. To avoid this, I use a medium-coarse grind and keep the water level relatively high when brewing with the Kalita. Coffee is brewed taking into account the natural flow rate of the dripper and response to drip speed, using 30 grams of coffee, 500g water, and 210ºF water added 50-60 grams at a time (pour is finished between 3 minutes, 6 seconds and 3 minutes, 40 seconds) Compared to its rival, the Wave is often praised for being more beginner friendly. The three small holes in the bottom make it more forgiving when it comes to technique – or at least that’s the idea.

Coffee is tasted for flavor quality and the potential impact of the brewer's design on flavor is assessed In my opinion, beginners are better suited with cone-shaped brewers such as the Hario V60 since they are more likely to brew darker roasted coffee or coffee of lower quality. The Wave filters are designed not to touch the bottom of the brewer so water can freely move out of the Wave coffeemaker. This also protects the coffee grounds until they’re brewed. Yet with so much space since your coffee filter is too small, lots of bad things would happen.

Great news! The Kalita Wave dripper is dishwasher-safe, so just pop it in there and wash it away. How Long Does the Kalita Wave Pour Take?
