Overview
A ceramic pour-over coffee dripper sized for 2 to 4 servings, imported from Japan and built around Kalita's flat-bottom Wave filter system rather than the cone shape used by drippers like the Hario V60.
The flat-bottom design is meant to keep coffee from pooling against the paper for long stretches during extraction, and several reviewers who use it as a daily brewer describe it as more forgiving of pour technique than cone-style drippers. It only works with Kalita's own Wave filters, which need to be bought separately.
- Ceramic build imported from Japan
- Sized for 2 to 4 servings
- Requires Kalita Wave 185 filters
- Compact at 143 x 116 x 80mm, 320g
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who use this daily generally prefer it to cone-style drippers like the V60, calling the ceramic version sturdier than glass and faster-draining than metal, though one owner flags the bottom rim as too narrow to fit larger carafes.
