Kalita Coffee Filters

These filters are specifically engineered for the Kalita Wave #185 dripper. Because of their unique flat-bottomed shape and specific diameter, they will not fit standard V60 or other conical drippers properly.

Yes, we recommend pre-soaking the filter with hot water before adding your coffee grounds. This helps remove any residual paper taste and ensures the filter adheres snugly to the dripper walls for a more consistent extraction.

The flat-bottomed design, combined with the filter's suspended structure, prevents the paper from clinging entirely to the dripper walls. This promotes better water flow and ensures even contact with the coffee bed, resulting in a cleaner, more balanced cup.

These are bleached paper filters. They are designed to provide a clean flavor profile without the woody or papery notes sometimes associated with unbleached alternatives.

No, these are single-use paper filters. They are designed to be discarded after each brew to ensure you get the cleanest flavor and to prevent the buildup of coffee oils that can turn rancid over time.
