Kalita Stainless Wave Dripper 155

Love it! It's a real beauty, too. Was surprised at it's size, but have been adapting our #2 filters until we run out, then will buy #1s. Feels so much safer than pouring hot water through plastic!!! And that's why we moved to stainless steel!

Bought to replace a Hario Drip Decanter (if you’ve owned one, you know why…). Initially struggled with the Wave, but after a few weeks and a slight adjustment to grind doze and technique it’s making great brews, and I’m confident it’ll last a long time. The server is made of a much thinker glass than anything I’ve had from Hario, which is clearly a good thing - and the included coffee was lovely too.

I’ve used pour over filters before but this is m first time using the metal ‘Kalita’ filter. Works great! I run the metal filter under hot water to preheat, and also preheat my cup as I find that pour over tends to not produce a steaming hot cup of coffee by the time it’s ready to drink. I like my coffee hot! I also wet the paper filter before adding to grounds. I think it holds the coffee better, especially for that initial bloom. It’s worth getting the glass carafe. Not only is it a perfect fit for the filter, but it’s gorgeous to serve coffee from.
