About this deal

If your coffee comes out weak or sour, your grind was likely too coarse. If it comes out intense, bitter, and drying, your grind was likely too fine. Adjust your settings and try again. (Don't be afraid to keep trying new and different variables, all coffees are different!). Coffee dripper material affects flavour because the materials have different thermal properties ( 3). Plastic and steel have a lower thermal mass than ceramic or glass, absorbing less heat from the brewed coffee. On the other hand, ceramic, glass, and steel are all poor insulators, allowing more heat to escape the dripper. And since it’s not a delicate glass carafe, it’s much more portable and much easier to clean than either of them. For me, the Wave is a happy medium.

The Wave filters are designed to fit a specific brewer size. If you put a 155 Wave filter in a 185 Wave brewer, the filters are going to be way too small. The Kalita Wave is a distinctively-shaped pour-over. It has waves (hence the name) down the side that are designed to better move brewed coffee. The bottom is flat, but the company’s specially designed paper filters don’t touch the bottom, preventing flavor-ruining coffee stagnation. There are three holes in the bottom to allow the coffee to drip into your cup. I have experienced clogging issues with the Kalita Wave because it uses three small holes rather than one large one. The wet slurry can settle more into one or more of the holes, yielding a slow or uneven coffee extraction. To avoid this, I use a medium-coarse grind and keep the water level relatively high when brewing with the Kalita. Let the water drain through the filter for a while. The total time of the brewing process is about 2 minutes 45 seconds to 3 minutes. If it takes longer, you probably need the coarser grind.The only real difference between the Kalita Wave 155 and 185 is their size, so the best option for you really comes down to how much coffee you want to make at a time. One of the the common questions around the Kalita Wave is how they compare to the V60 pour over coffee makers? Having owned and used both we can answer with some authority. First, for those who haven’t heard of the Kalita Wave, let’s explain how this coffee maker works, as it has quite a unique design. I’ll delve into how the different materials affect usability and coffee quality below. The Kalita Wave 155 vs. 185: Which Size Is For You?

I use medium-coarse coffee grounds with my Kalita Wave, a bit coarser than for a V60. The slightly coarser grind extracts more sweetness and less bitterness, which makes the Wave particularly nice for darker roasts. For the larger 185, I use a coffee grind size similar to a Chemex brew. For the smaller 155, I go a little finer. Unlike the other pour over dripper with a cone shape and big dripping hole, the small holes control the flow rate during brewing so you can get a more consistent taste. Follow the standard brewing guide you can get a cup of great-tasting coffee. PortabilityWhat if you tried to put a 185 Wave filter in a 155 Kalita Wave brewer? Now you’d have no airflow since the filter would be far too large for the coffeemaker.

If you're a coffee-wiz with lots of experience hand brewing, the Kalita is one of those core brewers that you have in your cabinet. There's enough room to play and experiment with brew recipes, and it provides exceptional results that will do justice to any coffee you put in it.This dripper is available in four materials: glass, ceramic, Tsubame steel, or stainless steel. Regarding Kalita Wave glass vs steel, I prefer the popular stainless steel due to its durability, light weight (for those on the go, making it suitable for a travel coffee maker), and attractive aesthetic. My Kalita Wave Tsubame review is also very positive, but it’s hard to justify the considerably higher price for this material. Kalita states it should only take three minutes to brew coffee with their drip coffeemaker. First, rinse the Wave filter, which will get rid of any papery taste. We’ve seen some users state that this step isn’t necessary since the Wave filters are thin anyway. After one minute, add another 130 grams of water for a total now of 250 grams. Wait one more minute, and complete one more pour for a total of 320 grams of water. Once all of the water has drained through the grounds, enjoy your delicious coffee! Kalita Wave 155 vs 185 And there are two sizes: 155 and 185. The 155 is suitable for a single cup, while the 185 can make 2-4 cups of coffee at one time.

The Kalita Wave is a drip coffee brewer that comes in two sizes, the 155 and 185. For those who enjoy single cups of coffee at a time, such as in the morning before work, the 155 suffices. The bigger 185 size is best for you if you enjoy drinking two or more cups of coffee each morning. The Kalita Wave works great for any kind of coffee, but we especially love it with coffees with prominent chocolate, nutty, and dried fruit notes as it really accentuates those notes.Coffee is brewed normally, with 30 grams of coffee, 500 grams of water, a 45-second bloom, and 210ºF water added 100 grams at a time every 10-15 seconds (pour is finished at 2 minutes, 40 seconds)
