Review on Kalita Wave Series 185 Lotto: Authentic Japan Import for 2-4 Persons #02035, Elevate Your Coffee Brewing Experience! by Cheryl Bailey

If you're into the thorough pour-on ritual, get the Hario V60, but if you're a little lazy like me, you need a better dripper. Glass is too thin and metal drains too slowly. - Get 185.185 is not very big, so there is no point in buying 155. I usually brew 16 ounces in my 185. - Kalita Wave requires the use of their special flat bottom filters so be sure to take them with you. The Kalita Wave is my everyday coffee maker because 1) it makes a delicious cup of coffee with little effort and 2) cleaning is a breeze. After you're done, simply throw away the filter/thick and rinse the dripper. You don't have to disassemble anything or clean multiple parts. no descaling, as is the case with machines. and there's no chance of drinking mold like you can if you don't clean your car regularly. 3) I don't like to drink plastic. A number of other breweries on the market use hot water in plastic: many machines, Clever Dripper, AeroPress, Espro etc. The Kalita Wave takes the hassle out of making a great brew. You simply put your coffee grounds in and pour hot water over it. I don't bother pouring water a certain way; I'm just making sure the whole area gets wet eventually. Since I usually brew 16 ounces at a time, I don't have enough room to just pour out all of the water at once, so I only have to refill a few times before leaving for the last minute or so to let it drain. . If you're brewing 16 ounces you don't need to clear the bottom, but if you're brewing a smaller amount (e.g. 8 ounces) you'll probably want to do so. otherwise the water will drip too fast. But lazy as I am, I still freshly grind my beans and use a good temperature-controlled kettle for the water, so make sure you have a good coffee grinder and kettle on hand for a great, relatively easy cup of coffee.
