- This Kalita Wave Coffee Brew Method & Tutorial 2021 will show you the basic steps used to brew breat coffee using the Kalita Wave 185 or Kalita Wave 155.
The Kalita coffee brewing method and device is simple and effective in brewing a great cup of coffee. In this video, I am using the Kalita 185 Stainless Steel dripper. There is a learning curve but it is straight forward. Now, coffee enthusiasts who want to do pour-overs at home can brew like the pro’s at the local cafe. This brew method is a percolation type method. Consistently adding water moving over the grounds will allow all of the flavor from the grounds to be extracted and delivered into your cup. Unlike the Clever Dripper and French Press, which steep the grounds, the Kalita brewing method requires you to be actively engaged in brewing your coffee from beginning to end.
The results can be outstanding. I'm not a professional barista, I am a home coffee enthusiast like you. In this video, I use the George Howell Kalita brew method found here:

to brew my coffee using the Kalita 185. I don't do it exactly like he does but very close. This video shows you the steps and with practice can become second nature. Leave a comment if you use the Kalita using a different procedure. I'm always interested in learning other ways to brew using the Kalita.

I use the Kalita 185 Stainless Steel dripper when I'm not using the clever dripper. This is a great brewing method for enthusiasts who want to be fully engaged in every aspect of the brewing process. Have you used the Kalita? What is your favorite brewing method?
Looks good!
Thanks. Brewing some great coffee with the Kalita and really easy to cleanup
Thanks
I love your video xx
Thanks for your kind comment and for watching my videos. What are you using to roast coffee?
I use a variety of drippers. Kakita wave, harioV60, behouse. And sometimes Moka pot
I got a Moka Pot under my Christmas tree last year. I have been learning how to use it and it has been really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely need to get myself a pour over. I just make espresso and french press right now
Hi Jackson. There is a nice selection of pour over type devices to pick from. The Kalita is a solid choice. I think you will find you may be able to notice some clarity in the tasting notes of your coffee with a filtered pour over like the Kalita. You may loose a little of the heavier mouth feel with a filtered brew but that is the beauty of coffee. It can be roasted and brewed so many different ways. Thanks for your comment!
great brewing...thanks for sharing the tips
Glad you enjoyed it Nindy. What are you using to brew? Are you roasting at home? If yes, what are you using to roast your coffee?
@@VirtualCoffeeLab My favorite drippers are Origami and Kalita Glass 155 because they have fast flow rate. No I don't roast at home...hopefully one day
Hi! I was wondering if you could go into more detail about how you cut down the drain screen linked in the description to fit into the bottom of the Kalita? Thank you in advance!
Thanks for your question. The screen I used was purchased at any local hardware store. You want to be sure the screen you buy is real stainless steel so it won't rust.
I cut a piece of paper in the shape of a circle and test fit the paper circle into the bottom of the Kalita. Once I was happy with the size I laid the circle onto the flattest part of the screen and used a sharpie marker and drew around the edge of the paper circle. Then cut the stainless with heavy duty scissors.
Very good tutorial on the Kalita. I don't have one but use a Fellow Stagg XL which is similar, including the flat bottom. I've also made a screen to stop the filter from restricting the flow and I'm embarrassed to say how many times I've thrown it out with the filter, ha. I recently starting also using a Gabi Master B dripping device and found it greatly improves the process. I get a great cup consistently which surprised me. The Fellow and the Clever Dripper are my go-to brewers with perhaps a slight edge to the Clever. Thanks for the video.
I’ve almost thrown out my screen several times as well and I don’t think we’re alone. I made one for my son and it lasted a week before he accidentally threw it away.
@@VirtualCoffeeLabRoaster I guess it's just one of the hazards of a coffee hobby, Ha. I thought of making the screen a tight fit so it wouldn't fall out so easily but that might make cleaning a bit problematic. If you don't mind an out of place question... I noticed you used a bloom with the Clever Dripper. I have not done that and was wondering if you found it improved the cup noticeably? I know there are pros and cons both ways. Thanks.
I realize this is 1yr old video. So hope you see this comment/question. I use the 185. Like you I've found it has a tendency to draw down very slowly I presume like you it is because filter collapses and blocks the holes. I think Kalita does this one purpose to increase contact time with coffee. What grind sizes have you found works best to allow a faster draw down?
Hi George, yep, I respond to all new messages from all my videos. Great question. I am using a fellows ode grinder now. I have it set to a 3 and it gives me a grind that is like a fine beach sand or slightly coarser. Coarser than table salt. When I brew I don’t want the grounds to look like mud but I don’t want to have so I can see the individual grounds. I hope that is descriptive enough.
I forgot to mention that I also created a round screen that I lay on the bottom of the kalita before I put my filter in place. I think the filter sags without the screen and lays on top of the holes, slowing the draw down. If you go to your local hardware store and look for a kitchen sink screen you can cut the disc out from that stainless steel material. It’s cheap and easy.
Thanks for your message and for watching!
