Guide reading

Friends who have some knowledge of coffee will know that coffee has so far experienced the third wave of popularity, and now we are in the third wave of boutique coffee. The concept of boutique coffee is to cultivate coffee beans with the flavor of the producing area under the influence of the microclimate and soil of the producing area.

Hand-brewed coffee, which is ornamental and reflects the taste of coffee beans, conforms to the trend of the third wave of boutique coffee. The brewing of hand-brewed coffee is characterized by the use of a filter cup to filter the coffee, blocking the passage of coffee grounds and making the taste of hand-brewed coffee cleaner. The use of different filter cups will also produce different extraction characteristics, such as the v60 filter cup commonly used in Qianjie coffee products, the tapered filter cup design can increase the sense of hierarchy, while the large filter hole makes the flow rate very fast, so that baristas can have more room to control the flow rate.

What I want to share today is a completely different filter cup from the v60 filter cup-kalita wave filter cup.

What is the Kalita Wave filter cup?

Kalita Wave Dripper is a flat-bottomed filter cup from Japan, also known as cake cup. Kalita has been producing coffee equipment since 1950, and the streamlined style of Kalita Wave is a typical feature of their products. This filter cup comes in two sizes: # 185 and # 155. # 155 is smaller for making only one cup of coffee at a time, while # 185 is larger for 2 to 4 people.

What are the characteristics of Kalita Wave filter cup?

The bottom of the Kalita Wave filter cup is flat and has three dripping holes. The flat-bottomed design makes the extraction more sufficient. The cup body and wavy filter paper will not stick too tightly, so that the temperature is more consistent and the water flow is more dispersed.

The difference between Kalita Wave and the familiar HarioV60 is that the bottom is flat. Although the aroma and flavor change of hand-made coffee with Kalita Wave filter cup is not as strong as that of cone filter cup, the overall flavor and sweetness of beans are always excellent. This filter cup needs to buy corrugated filter paper Kalita for flat cup, which specially deepens the design of side grooves, which will make you have a better hand flushing experience.

Kalita Wave drip filter cup is suitable for moderate grinding, it is recommended to be a little thicker than when you use V60, this filter cup is relatively slow to enter the water. Although there are three drip holes, they are all very small. Although the coffee powder is ground too fine, it will increase the extraction rate, but it is also easy to over-extract, so that the end of the coffee will be astringent.
