Kalita Wave 1L Stainless Steel Drip Kettle

By: Rob McGee

In this educational guide, Rob walks us through the process of brewing pour over coffee via the Kalita Wave, model 185. The guide was meticulously detailed, outlining every step of the process. The key takeaways include the need for quality fresh coffee (30 grams), a Kalita Wave, a scale, gooseneck kettle, carafe, a spoon, and a towel. Rob effectively demonstrates the brewing technique consisting of a 16:1, water to coffee ratio, equating to 480 grams of water to 30 grams of coffee. Moreover, Rob emphasized the necessity of a well-built scale that can weigh out such precise measurements.

The brewing process was illuminated, showing the importance of pre-wetting the filter, pre-warming the Kalita and the carafe, preparing the grounds, and the art of the 'bloom' pour. Rob stressed on even extraction, achieved by maintaining a leveled coffee bed and keeping a consistent pour speed. The result is a brilliantly brewed, warm cup of coffee that does justice to the nuanced flavors of the beans. This guide is ideal for persons passionate about proper coffee brewing techniques.
