Review on ☕ Clear Kalita Wave Style 185 Coffee Brewer by Melissa Parker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

1st cup 100% sublime. A limitation.

Having used this Kalita Wave style pot/brewer a few times I am giving it 4 stars because: Does it make the best coffee imaginable? Yes. That is beautiful? Yes. Is it easy to clean? Yes. Strong enough for glass? Yes. Is that a fair price for all of the above? Yes. This 5th star eludes me because: Does it keep the 2nd cup of coffee hot for 5 minutes while you drink the 1st? no A warm cup is waiting for you (note, I hardly ever use boiled water). I just think it would be relatively easy to double that block for better insulation. I believe those inclined to seek and find Kalita's reputation as a top-notch coffee maker and make a deal with themselves to block special filters could pay a little more for this double wall. So now I'm looking for another part of the system to fill in immediately for insulation. That first cup? Seriously wonderful. By the way, if you're new to bottling, plan on tossing your 1st batch or 2 until you figure out your best time and grind size so you can narrow down to one cup to save on your beans.

Pros
  • Same as everything before
Cons
  • Quick guide
