The Kalita Wave is the reference flat-bottom dripper: three small drainage holes and a wave-pleated filter that keeps the slurry away from the dripper wall. The result is an even coffee bed and one of the most consistent, technique-tolerant brews in pour over.
View iced recipesBecause the three holes meter the flow, the Kalita Wave extracts evenly and emphasizes sweetness, body and balance over sharp acidity. It shines with medium roasts and with brewers who want repeatable results without obsessing over pour geometry — pulse pours in the center are usually all it takes. If your V60 cups swing wildly day to day, the Wave is the classic fix.
