Review on 🌊 Kalita Wave Series Wave Filter 155 [1-2 Persons] - White (100 Sheets), Japan Import by Julie Watkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pours over coffee very well, but I prefer unbleached filters that come in a box.

I use these filters in a Kalita 155 stainless steel dripper. They work well and make great coffee. I used unbleached Kalita 155 filters which came in a cardboard box. Would love to buy more but haven't found one at an affordable price. I prefer unbleached paper. It makes no sense to me to use bleached paper for something like a coffee filter. Who cares if they're white or red? Who knows what chemicals are added to paper when bleaching it? I also liked that the filters are packed in a box. These filters have a series of small pleats. If the filters are handled roughly, they can be crushed and lose their shape. This makes them difficult to use. I always rinse these filters with boiling water before adding coffee. This heats the dropper and cup so they don't cool the coffee. I'm not sure how the paper would have tasted if I hadn't washed the filters beforehand. The filters emit a slight odor when washed.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged
