Kalita 300 & 500 Glass Servers for Coffee Sharing

If you’ve ever tried to pour a fresh cup of pour-over coffee for guests and ended up with lukewarm liquid in a flimsy cup, you’re not alone. Serving freshly brewed coffee at the right temperature—and in a vessel designed for clarity and stability—is a small but crucial detail that gets overlooked. Kalita’s dedicated glass servers solve that problem with a design built specifically for pour-over.

Kalita makes two sizes of heat-resistant glass coffee servers: a 300ml version for 1–2 people, and a 500ml model for 1–4. Both have wide mouths for easy pouring and are built with a durable plastic (PP) base to prevent cracking on hot surfaces.

Kalita 300 Server Specifications

The smaller Kalita 300 Server (model G) holds 300ml—enough for one to two cups of coffee. It measures 80mm in diameter at the top, 100mm at the base, and stands 93mm tall. Its wide opening makes it ideal for pouring and sharing, while the clear glass lets you appreciate the coffee’s color and crema.

Kalita 500 Server Specifications

The larger Kalita 500 Server (model G) has a 500ml capacity, suitable for serving 1 to 4 people. It has the same 80mm top diameter but a wider base at 122mm and is taller at 125mm. Like the 300, it’s made with heat-resistant glass and a sturdy PP plastic base for stability and safety on any dining table or café counter.

Design and Material Details

Both servers are crafted from heat-resistant glass for temperature retention and visibility, paired with a durable polypropylene (PP) plastic base. This combination helps avoid cracking when placed on warm surfaces like brewers or mugs. The 80mm mouth width is consistent across both models, ensuring easy pouring and cleaning. The servers are produced in Thailand, maintaining Kalita’s quality standards outside Japan.

Why Choose a Kalita Server

Kalita’s glass servers are tailored for pour-over enthusiasts who value presentation and functionality. The wide aperture aids in aroma release and allows for better visual assessment of brew strength. The plastic base ensures durability and safe placement on various surfaces without risk of shattering. These servers are especially useful for coffee shops, home baristas, or anyone regularly serving freshly brewed coffee to others.
