Kalita Wave 155 Dripper, Ceramic, (1 – 2 People) For # 010357

Works great, though this is quite small. If you’re after a more North American size coffee mug, you may want a size up. Coffee tastes great, though, and is pretty consistent.

I just started using this the other day, but I can day this really makes a great cup of coffee. I enjoy the fact that it really brings out the flavor more than any other brewing system I have used. I have the French press, aeropress, and a traditional drip coffee maker. I'm still adjusting to my taste on the amount of water and grounds, but I really love this. Buying a gooseneck kettle is a must for this for the pour. If you are looking for more than one cup, buy a bigger size, but this is perfect for just one and no more. Use some fresh whole bean ground local or craft coffee, and it opens up a whole new world of enjoyment. I bought the ceramic version, which holds the heat nicely.

I bought this to go with a set of Kalita Wave 155 filters that I purchased by accident, and I've come to quite like it. It's slightly more difficult to use than a one-cup Hario V60, because it's so small. So you have to do like 5-6 small pours instead of three slightly longer pours. But I've been impressed with the range of cups that the brewer works with, as its base fits cups with a brim diameter running from 2.5 inches to 3.75 inches. It's porcelain, so make sure to pre-heat it with some boiling water before you add coffee. And because it's fragile and the filters don't lie flat, it's not one I would take on the road, the way you can with a plastic brewer like a V60.

Very great brewer that doesn't take much effort to get a good cup of coffee. The 155 is best for single cups and I use it to brew 10-12 ounces per batch. You really can't go wrong with this if you don't mind buying the special filters. A great place to start for those new to pour over brewing.

I wish that it were a bit taller. Coffee is excellent.
