Kalita Wave

The most forgiving pour-over device for beginners. The Kalita Wave's flat bottom with three small holes restricts flow rate, meaning even an imperfect pour produces a consistent cup. The patented wave filters create pockets of air between the filter and the walls, insulating the brew bed from temperature fluctuations. This makes the Wave more consistent than the V60 but slightly less capable of producing the absolute best cup at the highest skill level. Available in stainless steel ($30-40) and glass ($26). The 185 size (for 2-4 cups) is the sweet spot for most people.
