It looks a little bit wired using the Hario coffee server, maybe I should buy a Kalita carafe instead)Coffee is brewed normally, with 30 grams of coffee, 500 grams of water, a 45-second bloom, and 210ºF water added 100 grams at a time every 10-15 seconds (pour is finished at 2 minutes, 40 seconds) What did our Kalita coffee taste like? It was very flavorful and smooth, with a clear body and plenty of aroma. This brewer lends itself to complex coffees — like floral light roasts and rich medium roasts— because it lets the beans shine through.

Adorned with a unique wave-shaped design, Kalita “Wave #185” is a filter coffee brewing tool beloved by baristas all over the world. This stainless-steel dripper is cone-shaped, while its flat bottom has three triangulated holes. Interestingly, this problem varies between the different materials. The stainless steel model uses a set of ridges on the base to keep the filter out of the holes, but they are quite small. The ceramic dripper uses larger ridges, and the glass version has a raised center; both are less prone to clogging than the stainless and have a faster flow rate. Hario vs Kalita The Copper comes in either copper or stainless steel color. It has excellent thermal management and flow rate as well as sturdiness. However, it is more expensive than other materials.

I questioned my coffee geek friends about this, and the general opinion was that the stainless steel version had this issue, while the glass and ceramic ones were unlikely to get clogged.
