KalitaWaveDripper is a flat-bottomed filter cup from Japan. Let's take a look at the picture first.

As can be seen from the picture, the groove of this filter cup is horizontal, but the filter paper is like a cake, one fold, one fold, so people often call it a cake cup.

Second, there is a herringbone protruding at the bottom of the filter cup, leaving three filter holes.

The advantage of this filter cup is that it is easier to maintain a stable output, and even beginners can extract stable coffee liquid according to their own ideas, but compared with V60, the aroma and flavor are not as strong as V60, however, the overall flavor and solid taste of coffee can be well preserved.

Since it has been written earlier on how to extract hand-brewed coffee, I will not repeat it here.

The filter paper of this filter cup is very thin, so you must be very careful when wetting, otherwise the folds will be destroyed and you will lose the greatest advantage of this filter cup. In fact, you can not wet the filter paper at all, and the impact on beans will not be so serious. After all, wetting failed filter paper will make the taste of coffee especially a failure.

When injecting water, we also use the method of steaming first, and then injecting water. When injecting water, we should pay special attention not to rinse into the filter paper, which is very important.

The filter cup is made of metal, ceramic and glass, which is a good choice.

Gouache ratio you can start from the more leisurely 1: 15 to try.

Two brewing methods are recommended, the first, partial Japanese type, continuous extraction with vertical small water flow, the flow is vertical, impacting, and stable. When using the three-stage brewing method, the amount of water staying in the filter cup is not particularly large. The water injector will control the size of the water flow according to the drip filtration of the coffee liquid.

The second kind, partial to the United States, uses a more powerful water flow, at this time, the angle between the water flow and the spout is expanded to more than 90 degrees, the size of the water is more random, the coffee powder is stirred more "chaotic", the turbulence is more sufficient, and the water will stay more in the filter cup. Coffee powder stirs in the water, waiting for the coffee liquid to seep.

In fact, each brewing method will have its own unique taste. You can do whatever you like and adjust it according to your own taste. What you like is the best? this KalitaWaveDripper is still very worthwhile for everyone to try, especially when entertaining guests, whether you are a novice or a veteran, you can help you make delicious coffee.

Kalita three-hole fan filter cup

Trapezoidal filter cup, there are three small holes at the bottom of the average distribution, because the pore size is small, so the velocity is slower. The bottom is flat, extraction will first go to the ground and then three shunts, less affected by the size of the water flow and circle, the extraction is relatively more uniform and easier to operate.

Flavor information: high alcohol thickness, full-bodied taste, citrus, drupe, chocolate.

Note: due to the small aperture and slow launching speed of the following three, the scale is adjusted to prevent over-extraction.

3. Kalita three-hole glass cake filter cup

It is named the cake cup because it looks like a cake. The bottom is flat, so that the coffee powder is distributed more evenly up and down to facilitate better extraction, and because the overall filter cup is small, uniform extraction can be achieved with relatively few powders.

Flavor information: citrus, drupe, caramel, good aroma.
