Kalita Wave

The flat-bottom design creates a more uniform bed of coffee grounds, which promotes even water saturation. This geometry helps prevent the channeling often found in cone-shaped drippers, resulting in a more balanced and consistent extraction.

Yes, it helps regulate the flow rate. By preventing water from pooling at the bottom of the dripper, the three-hole design ensures that the coffee doesn't over-extract, which keeps the final cup clean and minimizes unwanted bitterness.

No, the components are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing the stainless steel dripper and glass server with mild soap and warm water to maintain their integrity and finish.

No, the Kalita Wave requires its specific, proprietary wave-shaped paper filters. These filters are essential for maintaining the proper flow rate and fit within the flat-bottom design.

The included glass server has a capacity of 16.91 ounces, which is ideal for brewing one to two standard-sized cups of coffee at a time.
