How to brew Kalita:
The Kalita Wave dripper is one of our favorite hand brewing methods. The flat bottom provides a more uniform extraction of the coffee and a more complete flavour and aroma profile. This brewing method also gives us very consistent results every time.
Dose: Small - 16 g coffee for 250 g water Large - 32 g coffee for 500 g water
Grind Setting: Medium/Filter
Water Temp.: 92-95° C
Pour Time: 1:45 min
Weigh and grind the coffee. The grind size has an impact on taste so experiment on your own grinder for best results. Bitter and dry; grind coarser. Sour and thin; grind finer.
Place the filter paper in the dripper and rinse it with water as it can otherwise give a papery taste to the coffee. Carefully pour the coffee inside the filter paper and place it all on scales and tare. You are now ready to brew.
Pour about 30/60 g (small/large) water so that all the coffee is soaked and let it sit for 30 seconds. Start a timer as soon as you pour the first water over the coffee. This process is called the ”bloom” as it swells up and bubbles appear. It provides a more uniform extraction.
After 30 seconds, pour the remaining water slowly and steadily. Pour in a circular motion from the center outwards and back to the center again. Repeat the movement so the water flows evenly and uniformly over the coffee. The brew should reach 250/500 g water by about 1:45 minutes. The same pour times apply for both portions.
Before enjoying the coffee give it a quick stir and let it cool down a little. Enjoy!
