kalita wave | brew guide

A product of Japanese ingenuity and expertise, the Kalita Wave is a pour over brew method with a simple design that produces a delicious cup of coffee containing equal parts flavor and body. This is attributed to the flat bottom design and the number of holes in the bottom of the brewer to control and direct flow rate.

This is an example of a pulse-pour recipe, with measured pours happening at specific times during the brew.

    -400g of water (16:1 ratio)
