KalitaWave Dripper 155 series glass [1-2 person] # 05045 (japan import) by Kalita (Carita)

This is the ideal size for a flat bottom brewer if you are using 15-16 grams of coffee at most. The results are consistent, cleanup is easy, clogging is not much of an issue and I am able to get consistent brews without much effort or tinkering.I saw other reviews saying that this brewer is small but, that should not come as any surprise because there is a larger 185 model for comparison which is intended for larger doses. The 155 model is intended for smaller brews, so anyone complaining about the size of the brewer obviously did not do their research.Great brewer, easy to use, highly recommend!

My husband is really gotten into trying to make the best cup of coffee lately. He's following James Hoffmann watching all his videos, and trying different coffee makers himself. We already had a collection of coffee makers, including a chemex and several pour-overs, but I bought this for him because we didn't have this exact maker. I personally don't like it very much but he's been using it everyday. What I don't like is that you have to pour a little bit, wait, pour a little bit, wait, pour little bit, wait just to make one cup of coffee. The basket portion is small so you just don't have any choice but to keep pouring a little bit at a time. I much prefer the Aeropress where I can pour the hot water, stir it a little bit, and I have my cup of joe.If you like to tinker with pour time, fiddle with pouring patterns and that kind of thing you might like this. If you like to make a cup of coffee pretty quickly, this is not the maker for you.It is very well made and I like that it's glass and can be cleaned with just a rinse.You also need to get the filters that fit this maker. I saw a good tip somewhere that might help you if you're using this: when you need to get the coffee into the basket, if you already have an Aeropress, use the funnel for that to add the coffee to the Kalita. That way it won't end up with grounds on the wrong side of the filter.Speaking of filters, mine did not come with any filters and I didn't order them at the same time, so I had we had to wait for my next order of the special filters to come. As previously mentioned, I don't have a lot of patience, so the 3-day wait for filters sort of irritated me. That's on me for not reading the product description, but hopefully you will know to order filters at the same time.The coffee is good but I'm not patient enough to use this one. I'll probably end up buying the 185 too to see if I can tolerate how long it takes to make one cup of coffee with that.

French Press is probably the best device for making great coffee at home. The flavor notes are fantastic but I was never a fan of the heavy, muddy mouth feel. I finally decided to try a pour over though, honestly, I thought it was going to make mediocre coffee. Paper filters block some of the natural flavors of coffee.At first, I struggled a bit with the filter swearing that they had made the filter too big for the glass cup. But I finally mastered that and the filter sits perfectly in the glass cup every time now. I have no special technique for the pour: I go near the edges to get the grounds stuck near the edges back into the brewing action and I pour in circles. I don't let the grounds "rest". I've never seen any difference in the results no matter what I do. But that's a good thing. I literally make a perfect cup of coffee every time!The coffee brewed has the perfect body and mouth feel - very clean and absolutely good to the last drop as there is no residue in the coffee. It does lack some of the bright flavor notes of French Press coffee but I don't mind. The result from this pour over is extremely drinkable and enjoyable!I have to strongly disagree with reviews stating the unit is too small. Every morning I use it to make a massive-arse 16+oz (?) Starbucks-logo mug of coffee. And there is room for me to add even more grounds if I wanted to go even a little bigger. And yes, I "brew" my coffee quite strong. So no complaints here at all.Honestly, I don't think I'll ever use a different home brewing method other than this one. Brewing is simple though a little tedious and clean up is a breeze. I highly recommend you try this dripper!

Like others, I was surprised by how small this item is, but once I got the hang of how to use it, (how much coffee to use, how much water, how fast to pour, etc) it makes a great cup of coffee and is a perfect size for a single mug.I am the only person who drinks coffee in my family, so I don't need the larger size. I got the glass version, it does not dissipate heat like stainless, and is easier to keep clean without developing stains than ceramic. Dump out the grounds and a rinse and dry is all that is needed to be ready for the next cup.Because the filter size can not be found in stores, you need to remember to order new filters before the old ones run out.

It’s perfect for a single cup pour over. I love using it in the mornings over the hario v60. Worth the money, works well and functional. Just be sure to clean it after use.

I’ve used a lot of different pour over coffee makers and wasn’t expecting how good this dripper is. It makes a wonderful full bodied, sweet brew. I would highly recommend for anybody looking to step up their brewing game, especially for decaf.
