The Kalita Wave is a popular coffee brewing method that results in an amazing cup of coffee without the need for any expensive equipment. Keep reading to learn how you can use the Kalita Wave to make the perfect cup of coffee every time. 

Getting Started with Your Kalita Wave

The first step is making sure your setup is correct. Start by filling your Kalita Wave with hot water and letting it sit for 30 seconds. This will help preheat your brewing vessel and ensure that your coffee will be brewed at the proper temperature. Once preheated, empty out the water and place a filter into the brewer. When selecting a filter, make sure you are using one specifically designed for use with a Kalita Wave — these filters have flat bottoms that fit perfectly into the brewer.

Grinding & Dosing Your Coffee Beans

Next, you will need to grind your beans and dose them properly into the filter. For this particular brewing method, we recommend using medium-fine ground coffee (similar to table salt). Make sure you measure out about 18 grams of ground coffee for every 8 ounces of water you plan on using – this should yield roughly 2 tablespoons of ground beans per 8 ounces of water. Place these grounds in an even layer over top of your filter paper and give it a gentle shake to settle them in place.

Brewing & Pouring Your Coffee

Now it’s time to start brewing! Begin by pouring 50g (roughly 1/4 cup) of hot water evenly over all of the grounds in small circles. Wait approximately 30 seconds before pouring another 100g (roughly 1/2 cup) of water onto your grounds using circular motions once again — this helps ensure that all of your grounds are saturated evenly throughout each pour cycle. After pouring, wait another 45-60 seconds before beginning your final pour cycle — this should take between 60-90 seconds total depending on how much coffee you are making at once. Once finished, remove your filter from the brewer and give it a gentle shake over top of a drain or sink to release any excess liquid if necessary. Finally, pour yourself an amazing cup of coffee and enjoy!
