Kalita Wave Coffee Filters

These filters are specifically engineered for the flat-bottomed geometry of the Kalita Wave 185 brewer. While they might physically fit in other drippers, the unique wave design is intended to work in tandem with the specific ridges of the Kalita brewer to ensure even extraction and temperature stability.

Yes, rinsing the filter with hot water before adding your coffee grounds is recommended. This removes any residual paper taste and pre-heats your brewer, which helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the extraction process.

The 185 size is designed for brewing between 12 and 22 ounces of coffee. This capacity makes it an excellent choice for brewing a single large mug or sharing a pour-over between two people.

The signature wave design creates a consistent, flat bed of coffee grounds, which prevents water from channeling along the sides of the brewer. This promotes a more even extraction, resulting in a cleaner cup that highlights the nuanced flavor profile of your beans.

Yes, these filters are made from high-quality paper and are fully compostable. You can dispose of the used filter and coffee grounds directly into your compost bin after brewing.
