xElevate your pour-over with Kalita Carita Dripper
Originating from the East Agricultural region of Gifu Prefecture, this Kalita Carita dripper sits at the heart of a ceramic tradition that stretches back more than 1,300 years. The Sand Gray piece from the Wave Series blends time-honored technique with a modern silhouette, making it a stylish companion for both everyday kitchen use and outdoor coffee moments.
Why this dripper stands out
- Size and capacity: approx 4.5 x 5.7 x 3.1 inches, designed for 2 to 4 servings.
- Material: ceramic crafted in the spirit of Mino ware (Mino Yakiza Katana).
- Origin: made in Japan, with the DACHI engraving on the bottom from Tanchi town, Toki City.
- Filter compatibility: uses KWF185 filters for steady, even pour-over extraction.
- Aesthetic: sand gray glaze and Wave Series styling suit both table and outdoor setups.
In practice, the dripper’s ceramic composition provides natural heat retention, helping maintain a stable brewing temperature as coffee grounds bloom and liquid flows through. The result is a balanced pour that can reveal nuanced flavors without forcing a specific outcome. Its size makes it convenient for shared mornings or relaxed gatherings, whether you’re at the kitchen counter or enjoying a shaded deck.
Design, heritage, and care
- Heritage: the bottom engraving nods to traditional craftsmanship from Toki City, adding a story to your brewing ritual.
- Care: not dishwasher safe; hand wash to preserve glaze and finish.
- Use: designed for 2–4 cup brews using the KWF185 filter.
Pair this dripper with Kalita’s filters and a favorite burr grinder to support a relaxed, room-to-table coffee ritual. While no tool can guarantee a perfect cup every time, the Carita Dripper offers a thoughtful, well-made option that centers the joy of the process—brewing with care, enjoying the aroma, and savoring the moment of presentation. Its heritage-inspired aesthetics, practical size, and heat-retentive ceramic invite you to explore pour-over as a daily ritual rather than a performance.
