Instructions for pouring coffee with the KALITA WAVE in Specialty Coffee

The Kalita Wave is a popular pour-over tool. With its versatility and consistency, the Kalita is considered the right choice to enhance the experience of enjoying Specialty Coffee.

Preparation steps

1> Time: 2 – 3 minutes (for 15g – 20g)
 
2> Ratio: 1/15 – 1/17 (1g coffee 15ml water)
 
3> Grinding degree: Grind slightly coarser than V60 and finer than Chemex
 
4> Temperature: 91-96 degrees C or 195-205 degrees F
 
5> Roasting degree: Light Medium (From the end of Crack 1 to before Crack 2)
 
Light roasted coffee will be very suitable when used with the Kalita Wave funnel, because the slow extraction speed will give the coffee a “sweeter” and “balanced” taste.
 
6> Brewing: 20g with a ratio of 1/16
 

Implementation steps

Step 1: Place the “ripple” filter paper into the Kalita Wave, then rinse the paper with boiling water. The purpose of this rinsing is to remove the smell of the paper, heat the dripper and server.
 
Step 2: Add the freshly ground coffee powder, and shake the Kalita Wave gently to balance the coffee surface. Place the entire server and dripper on the scale and tare to 0.
 
Step 3: Pour gently and very slowly, starting from the center, then spiraling from the inside out, and ending when it is necessary to display 40g – 60g of boiling water (the amount of water is 2 to 3 times the amount of coffee), and must soak all the coffee powder.
 
The soaking time is from 30 to 45 seconds, depending on the type of coffee and the purpose of brewing. The purpose of the first pour is to let the coffee powder bloom and release CO2.
 
Step 4: Pour Over
 
After 30 – 45 seconds of blooming, we will add 260g – 280g of water for 2 minutes. and finish dripping for about 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
 
Starting from the middle, pour water in a spiral shape and slowly spread out.
Do not pour water directly onto the filter paper; it will make the water flow straight down instead of permeating the coffee powder
 
Step 5: Finish and enjoy
