More than 100 years ago, people used linen or metal mesh to filter coffee, which tasted bitter and coffee grounds often precipitated at the bottom of the cup, German mother Melita. Melitta Bentz, racked his brains to make a delicious cup of coffee.

One day she had an idea and poked several small holes in the bottom of the copper pot.

Then cut the paper of my son's workbook into a circle and put it inside the copper pot.

Unexpectedly, the filtering effect of this blotting paper is excellent, and the bitterness of the brewed coffee is greatly reduced.

As a result, the world's first hand filter paper and filter cup was born.

After several improvements, Melita was the first to apply for a German patent for hand-flushing filter paper and filter cups in 1908, and its products were popular all over the world.

Kalita Wave's hand flushing series can be said to be a new force, and its use is as simple as ordinary filter paper. Many baristas like the crystal clear flavor of wave, which is also suitable for use at home.

There are three holes in the bottom of the Wave filter cup. At present, Kalita offers two sizes, 155 and 185, which are demonstrated in the video. Wave filter paper has a flat bottom.
