Carita Kalita Stainless Steel Coffee Dripper Wave Series - 2-4 People, 185S, Made in Japan, For 2-4 Cups

Terrific coffee dripper. I got this to supplement my one cup coffee maker for when I have guests. I now use it daily. You can easily make one or two cups of delicious coffee with this easy to use dripper. It has a substantial weight and fits nicely over all my cups. The construction is top quality and it is easy to clean either by hand or in the dishwasher. Highly recommend!

I have 5 of these Kalita coffee makers. I keep two at my apartment and two at my condo. I also keep one at the office. We actually have two coffee makers at work but why settle for less than the best? Some people like having plastic in their coffee with those plastic cups - not me. We have an industrial coffee maker that makes... well, industrial coffee. People at the office freak out when they see me making my cup. This is the best coffee maker money can buy. I tried just about every coffee maker and the Kalita delivers an excellent tasting cup of coffee every time. It is extremely durable and worth the price. The quality is outstanding.

I love this item. It make drip coffee quickly and at a high quality. It's easy to use, light and metal. Due to it size it would be easy to travel with.

Best dripper in the world! Seriously, very happy. Very well made, keeps coffee hot, speedy delivery even with #2 filter. Looks beautiful on the counter.

I normally use a coffee press for my morning coffee, and much prefer it to other methods. But I was looking for a way to make a quick cup with less hassle and easier cleanup, and after doing some research decided to try this pour-over gizmo. I'm very happy with it: the three small holes in the bottom allow the hot water to drip slowly through, improving the brewing. The size is right for a small to medium cup, and I was able to use just a regular cone filter I had left over, didn't need to go find (and pay for!) some special size of filter. (The larger filter sticks out over the top, but it doesn't hinder anything.) So I wouldn't recommend this for the finest cup of coffee you've ever had, but I would definitely recommend it for the quick and easy pour-over cup for anyone who wants that.

I've been trying to reduce my use of plastics and decided to purchase a stainless steel, over-the-cup coffee maker. I searched a number of styles and decided on the Kalita based on reviews. I love this thing! It's very solidly made, and it has a flat bottom vs. the cone style. I found that the cone filters break easily, whereas the flat bottom reduces the likelihood of that. The handle is comfortable, too. I use one scoop of coffee and fill it 3 times with hot water (letting it drain each time), and it makes a perfect cup of coffee for my taste (naturally good quality coffee helps!). I definitely recommend this product!

This is 185S, not 185. However it takes 185 size paper filter. It's a slower dripper compared to Hario V60 Metal dripper (2-4 cups). I prefer V60 for coffees I drink. But Kalita being slow dripper is not a negative. This is how it is. You may need to grind little coarser compared to V60. I grind extremely fine for V60 (couple of notches above espresso). For Kalita I had to grind a bit more coarser. My normal Brew times are 2:45-3:00 minutes. This dripper is very light-weight. But that doesn't mean it's bad quality. It's Made in Japan and the quality is good. Handle is welded to the dripper and the surface inside is not finished. This looks ugly. But doesn't affect coffee making process. For $40 dripper like this I was expecting better manufacturing process from Kalita. This is single-walled dripper. So you will need to pre-heat dripper once. If you find this dripper for $30, then buy it. I also have 6-7 types of different Kalita drippers (metal, ceramic, glass) but I have never used them yet. But I think this particular style of Wave dripper is much more widely used. There is a newer Wave version, which I have but not used. My Anaerobic coffee tastes bright, juicy on V60. But on this dripper it tasted a bid muddy with sharp acidity. So I'll need to dial-in it properly.

The only drip brewer to use - metal doesn't sap heat, can't break it, non-toxic. Heirloom kitchen item - been using this for years.

Sehr hochwertig…. Aber bei dem Preis sollte das auch so sein!

I got tired of my expensive ceramic drippers cracking, so I tried this one. It makes great coffee and seems like it will last a long time. The Kalita 185 filters are too short though. I use taller Mellita ones.

Excellent dripper cup, no complaints

Excellent product, I've replaced my v60 with the kalita.

これまで円錐形のドリッパーを使ってましたが、あるお店で平底型ドリッパーを使ってると聞き、試しに購入して自宅でドリップしてみたら、ダイレクトに豆の風味が感じられるフレンチプレスの良さと、スッキリした味わいになる円錐形ドリッパーの良さの、いいとこ取りをしている‼️ 一度使ってみて下さい
