Kalita Wave

Flat-bed filter coffee

The Kalita Wave represents a masterful evolution in pour-over coffee brewing, distinguished by its unique flat-bottom design and wave-patterned filter. This Japanese brewing method creates a more even extraction than traditional conical brewers by maintaining a consistent water level above the coffee bed, resulting in a clean, well-balanced cup that highlights the coffee's natural sweetness and complexity. The three small holes in the flat bottom work in harmony with the wave-filter to control flow rate and ensure optimal extraction time.

What truly sets the Kalita Wave apart is its forgiving nature combined with its high ceiling for excellence. The flat-bottom geometry helps maintain a more stable temperature throughout the brewing process, while the wave-filter reduces contact between the brewing slurry and the dripper walls. This design promotes even water distribution and a consistent extraction, making it easier to achieve professional-quality results at home while still offering coffee enthusiasts plenty of room to perfect their technique.
