The Kalita Wave is an iconic pour-over dripper in the world of specialty coffee. Although it’s pretty underrated, it’s got a dedicated cult following, like all the best movies, books, and games. There’ll always be someone singing its praises in the shadowy corner of hipster artisan coffee shops. Is that person now gonna be me? That’s a toughie.
As far as coffee nerds go, I’m not actually that fastidious. Yes, I have a favorite type of bean. Yes, I spend much of my waking time researching, brewing, and drinking coffee. But honestly? If it tastes good, I’m here for it. I’m not even opposed to the occasional Nescafé. Even so, I love trying out as much coffee gear as I possibly can, so I was super excited to get my hands on the Kalita Wave.
