![Kalita Wave series 185 Lotto [2-4 persons] # 02035 (japan import)](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51l2eHbEW8L._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
I really like the consistency and ease of the Wave pourover. You can't pour unfiltered boiling water poorly ground beans and expect it to fix your improper technique. But Combined with quality water, good scale, a proper slow pouring kettle and a burr grinder it makes an exceptional coffee. The metal version is great, super easy to clean and don't have to worry about it breaking.
Compared to:
V60: it's less sensitive to grind size and I think a slightly less acidic taste. Overall really similar but doesn't require quite as much attention to your pour.
Chemex: Chemex comes out much lighter which works for some beans but I find the Wave works better for most and extracts more flavors on average. I'm not tossing the chemex as for certain roasts it's great but for daily use the Wave wins.

Kalita Wave 185 Drippers
The Wave Series from Kalita is the premier coffee dripper available on the market. The flat-bottom coffee bed geometry, patented 'Wave' filter, and three-hole design work together to provide an even extraction that makes brewing a perfect cup accessible and easy.
Available in three styles: stainless steel, glass, and ceramic.
Brew directly into a cup, or mount it on a brew stand (like a TruBru). We recommend this size (#185) for brewing about 26-45 grams of coffee, yielding between 16 and 26 ounces of brewed coffee.

Usually love these, this time sent trash.
I have ordered the glass ones before and they work great but they are easy to break. This time I ordered the metal and got sent literal garbage. The Amazon bag was sealed but the box had the above in it. Really disappointing.

There’s a few big names in the pour-over industry, such as Chemex and Hario. I didn’t want to purchase a system that required it’s own carafe, and I wasn’t particularly excited about anything glass with a toddler running around. I wanted something I could use my existing double-insulated stainless steel carafe with- and the Kalita Wave 185 fit that bill for me.
It’s small and very easy to clean (quick rinse after use, occasional hand-washing). It’s not taking up much space in my cupboards or my counter, and, paired with the paper filters, it’s incredibly easy to use. It can be tricky getting your grind dialed in perfectly, but that’s all part of the process. When you’ve got your grind and proportions figured out, using this daily becomes kind of a daily meditation. It’s more involved than any other coffee brewing method I’ve used, but the reward is a great tasting cup of coffee that is smooth and clean. It’s the most enjoyable home coffee experience I’ve had for quite some time.
The Kalita 185 size is enough to fit 45g of coffee grounds, through which I pour 750ml of water, making right around 25 ounces, which is just the right amount for the two mugs I use. It’s simple, smooth, clean coffee every time.
Elegant, simple, flavorful coffee is at hand.

For easily the past decade, I’ve been a stickler for my daily french-pressed coffee. Some called me a coffee ‘snob’. I’ve worked in the past as a coffee-slinging barista for nearly three years, so I do have some knowledge on the subject of brewing coffee. That being said, I only recently decided to switch to the pour-over method, mostly due to changing tastes and developing aversion to the often oily, gritty mouthfeel of the French-press method.Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021
