The Kalita Wave SG dripper is made from a textured sandstone ceramics it has a beautiful soft earth-tone and will fit seamlessly into any counter top / coffee brewing kit.
In comparison to other drippers such as a Hario V60, the Kalita drippers have much less area for water to flow out from usually resulting in a longer contact time between the brew water and coffee. This longer contact time creates a heavy texture, paired with the even extraction brought to you by the flat bottom and you are met with a full bodied, well rounded cup of coffee.
This dripper like most other precious ceramics / stoneware should be washed by hand in the sink, Washing in a dishwasher is not recommended.
Unlike some of the other drippers we stock the Kalita design has the most restricted bottom, this holds the water in contact with your coffee grounds and results in a unique flavour profile with emphasis on coffee texture and body.
This dripper is made of a lightweight sandstone and Amakusa Touseki stone ceramic blend, this gives the dripper its structural integrity and its uniques stone appearance.
Generally Pour Over and Filter Coffee have a water to coffee ratio of 1:15. Although it is important to know that some coffee tastes better at a lower or higher ratio and that numbers are just a guide.
POUR OVER BREW TIME
Depending on a range of different factors your pour over coffee might be really quick and only last 1 minute or can last up to 10 minutes. Most pour overs generally take around 2-4 minutes and consistently long pour overs may be a result of stalling.
WATER FOR POUR OVER COFFEE
The hotter your water is the higher amount of extraction will occur. Put simply, this is all you need to know but when it comes down to dialling-in your coffee you can change your water temperature to change the flavour of your coffee.
The method, technique and overall recipe you use to brew your pour over coffee is known as your 'Brew Method'. Depending on how many pours your use, the level of agitation when pouring and the brewing equipment you use will all determin how your coffee will taste.
