Kalita Wave Paper Coffee Filters I Larger Size 185 I 100 Count I Specially Pour Over Dripper I Made in Japan, Large, White

kalita Wave has become my favorite pour over cone just slightly ahead of Harios V60. It makes the best cup of coffee if quality beans meet quality water at the right temperature and technique.

There’s a few great things about these filters: 1. They leave no sludge, whatsoever. 2. They’re thinner & smaller than chemex so they consume less water and go far quicker. 3. Since they’re pleated (waves) they don’t sit against the coffee maker and drop the temperature as much. In my experience, with 850ml of water over 40g of coffee I only lose about 50ml of water with these. Comparatively, with a chemex, I lose close too 100ml for the same amount of grounds because their filters are probably 3x as thick and more than twice as large, unnecessarily.

These are high quality filters, conveniently packaged and simple to use. Each filter retains the wave shape. They are white and clean looking. Ive tried about 8 coffee making techniques and the Kalita Wave system using these filters is one of my top two methods. I will purchase these again and again.

I love these filters for their ease of use and strong holding quality, meaning they retain the shape even after pre-rinsing them with water. I do many pour-overs with these filters and it is very important that the filters retain their shape as you brew. I also find these a perfect fit for my ratio six brewer, which again holds the shape of the brewer and does not spill any coffee through the sides. I always keep these in stock as no other filter beats them at this price.

Its too expensive.

Well, theyre coffee filters, they fit Kalita pourover holders.

I was super excited to make coffee and my filters showed up smelling like detergent. I hadnt made coffee with this brewer before so thought it might just be these particular filters. Boy was I wrong. I made a cup and had to pour it out. Even after doing a filter rinse, the detergent taste was definitely there. Hopefully the replacements arent the same or I will have to order from a specialty shop.

They work much better than the cone-shaped filters since the water drips through much more slowly and I consistently get good results.

I dont own a Kalita Wave, I will admit. Theyre pretty expensive and dont have a plastic version, which I prefer for heat retention reasons (and for those people who hate the idea of plastic cones... why? Its not like youre going to be throwing it away, so waste isnt an issue). But these make *excellent* V60 filters. The flat base is very strong and stands up to water flow, and creates a fair bit of resistance, leading to water more evenly coating the grounds and ensuring a more consistent brew. Frankly, with how well these work in a V60, Im not sure I even feel the need to get a Kalita Wave anymore, as it feels like Im getting the consistency benefits without having to shell out for an expensive cone. Heavily recommended for anyone that owns a V60 and wants a more consistent brewing option.

Loved the arigato detail :)
