xPremium pour-over mastery with the Kalita Wave 185 Dripper
Meet the Kalita Wave 185 Drippers, designed to deliver a reliable, enjoyable pour-over experience from your own kitchen. The patented wave design reduces contact between the brew space and the filter, encouraging a balanced extraction that highlights aroma and body without overpowering nuances.
Widely adopted by top specialty cafes and professional competitions, the Wave 185 earns its reputation for consistency and control. Its polished stainless steel construction offers durability and longevity, resisting the bumps of daily brewing while maintaining heat through the entire process.
