About this item
- PULLS THE PERFECT CUP: The pantented wave design reduces contact between the brewing space and the filter itself for a more balanced extraction and a flavorful, full-bodied cup of coffee every time. The design of the dripper and filter together help create a pool of water on top of the coffee bed that can help control agitation, helping maintain a uniform extraction without too much turbulation (which could lead to over extraction).
- PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS AND PROFESSIONALS: You'll find the Kalita Wave pour over coffee dripper in the world's top specialty cafes and professional coffee-making competitions. But it is also the perfect dripper for pour-over beginners. Cone drippers require perfect grinds and pouring technique in order to prevent stalling and over-extraction. The wave's flat bottom, on the other hand, maintains a wide and even coffee bed, allowing water to permeate and leave the dripper evenly through three holes.
- MADE SPECIALLY FOR KALITA FILTERS: The design of the dripper and filter together help create a pool of water on top of the coffee bed that can help control agitation, helping maintain a uniform extraction without too much turbulation (which could lead to over extraction).
- FITS MOST CUPS AND CARAFES: The Kalita Wave's flat-bottomed coffee bed has a dripping area diameter of 2", while the full bottom measures 4" across. These dimensions ensure the Wave coffee dripper fits on almost all cups and carafes without having to worry about coffee dripping over the edges.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This has a 3 hole partially flat bottom. The three hole system holds the water just long enough to bring out the flavor. The other I tried was reverse pyramidal. It was less consistent and the wet cone protruded from the hole, sometimes into the coffee.
I use this with standard #4 store drip filters, Melitta or other. Works just fine.

Before I continue with this review let me say, my review may not be useful to everyone. Coffee seems to be one of the last really personal consumption experiences in the US. As much as it has been commercialized and mass marketed - almost every drinker will take the time to tweak their cup. A little sugar, one or two pumps of flavor, more grounds or less, course grind or fine, water temp at 207F or not... So let me tell you how I like my coffee so you can understand my critique of the Wave.
I drink my coffee black and I do not enjoy bitter coffee. I use a Chemex at home. The Chemex is my gold standard for brewing coffee. I use a manual grinder with a ceramic burr and monitor my water temperature when pouring to ensure it is between 205F and 200F. My beans are all from organic fair trade estates roasted by small roasters I trust. I do not buy starbucks or dunkin beans. I do not use pre-ground coffee.
The Chemex is too much trouble to use at the office so, for about a year, I used a Clever Dripper. I bought a second grinder and kettle for work - this allowed me to brew one cup at a time while achieving a taste close to the Chemex. When Wirecutter reviewed the Wave, I was sold on their recommendation and ordered one for work. I ordered official Wave Filters as well.
The sales pitch for the Wave is that, because of the three holes in its flat bottom, the coffee saturates better, extracting more flavor. The shape of the filter is also supposed to help the water retain heat better.
Simply put, with the Wave, I can brew a cup of coffee that is better than a Clever Dripper and very close to the Chemex. I have not made direct measurements of the water temperature after brewing is complete but it is hotter than a cup brewed from the Clever Dripper.
I have brewed over 50 cups with the Wave, here are my observations:
1) The Clever Dripper holds 16oz of water, the Wave 185 holds approx 8oz. I could pour an entire cup of heated water into the Dripper, with the Wave I have to do a continuous pour.
2) The Wave filters need to be pre-wet or the ribbed pattern will get deformed during the pour, causing grinds to clump in the new folds.
3) The Wave filters do not allow water through in a consistent manner. Let me explain, you place a filter in the Wave. You pre-wet the filter, add your grounds and, after the bloom, begin your pour. One filter will allow all of your water to reach the cup, another filter will stop with 1 or 2 oz of water still in the Wave. Maybe it is something that I am doing but I have experimented and the issue definitely seems to be the filter. One thing I have determined, if the filter retains water during the pre-wetting step, I am not going to get all of the water during the brew. Why is this an issue? because most of the flavor is passed into the cup towards the end of the Wave's brew. The drip slows as the water level in the Wave goes down. As the drip slows, more flavor is extracted from the grounds. If water is left in the Wave at the end, how much flavor are you loosing?
4) The Wave is extremely easy to clean, especially when compared to the Chemex or the Dripper
5) During the pour the grounds cling to the filter ribs. I make sure the pour washes the grounds off the ribs but when the pour is complete there are still grounds on the side. I have taken to gently shaking the Wave to keep the grounds out of the ribs, this works reasonably well.
6) Because of the inconsistent drip rate between filters, a single cup can take anywhere between 6 and 10 minutes
7) The Wave takes a little skill and experimentation to get a good cup of coffee. The Chemex and Dripper required experimentation with regards to grind and water temp but I never worried about the pour. With the Wave, I think the pour is almost as important as the grind and water temp.
I think that covers everything, good brewing...
First, I get the best flavor if I grind the coffee finer than I would for a Mr. Coffee drip. Second, when the water is hot I start by dribbling several drops onto the grounds. This moistens the grounds AND moistens the filter. You should be able to see the moisture climbing up the sides. Then, after a few minutes I slowly pour the water in at the center. The goal is that you want the grounds to be distributed on the sides of the filter. You're paying for all those folds, use them! As to the amount of coffee it makes, yes the Kalita itself is only so big. I put mine over a pint glass jar. This makes it possible for me to slowly pour in more water until the jar is full - and a pint is two 8 oz servings. If you want your coffee stronger, think about using some more grounds. I'll confess, I often cheat and put in some more water after I have gotten my pint. It's a little weak but works just fine for a later in the day over ice or with milk pick-me up. One thing I really like about this is I get great coffee without a big appliance. I already have an electric hot water pot for when I make tea so this gives me my choice of another beverage while using minimal space.

Pros:
- Makes good consistent cups of coffee
- Looks nice
Cons:
- Kalita wave filters are expensive
- I noticed sometimes coffee doesn't drip from all 3 holes
You might not think the filters point adds up to much: but hear me out. My previous brewer was a Fellow Stagg, and filters for that cannot now be had for anything like a reasonable price (currently £18.99 for 30 filters - ridiculous). It’s a huge point in Kalita’s favour that filters for this Wave 185 system are orders of magnitude more affordable and you can get them in many places. The cost per cup will be that much lower - you can put that money back into good beans.
Other things to note: It’s easy to clean (dishwasher or hand soap), the filters are widely available, and it’s a nice looking thing too. The glass is thinner and probably more delicate than I’d have expected but seems to have held up so far.
