About the KALITA WAVE
Doing the Kalita Wave is easy when it comes to brewing the perfect cup at home! Follow along as we show you how to use this coffee staple effortlessly.
STEP 1: FILTER FOLD
Pinch filter to become a cone shape, becoming snug on the V60.
STEP 2: BOIL WATER & PREHEAT FILTER
Boil filtered water to at least 202 F and preheat the filter. This will
prep your vessel to become a temperature that’s appropriate for the
coffee, also getting rid of the paper taste of the filter.
STEP 3: BLOOM
What is Bloom? 1. Lets the coffee de-gas. 2. Saturates the coffee.
Add freshly ground coffee. It should be a medium to coarse grind size
(compare to kosher salt).
Tip: Tilt brewer and pour in coffee. Tap out the air gaps in the coffee grinds.
Create a divot and push coffee along the walls of the vessel for even distributing.
Tip: Use water right off the boil.
Add water, starting the timer. The Bloom weight should be two times
the weight of the coffee.
Stir freely. Don’t worry about over-extracting! There’s not enough
volumeof water to make a huge impact.
STEP 4: THE FIRST POUR
Pour up to 200g of water. The water should have a consistent flow rate
out of the kettle. Pour from the inside out, then work your way back in.
STEP 5: THE SECOND POUR
At the 1 min 15 second mark, pour your second round of hot water –
this time, up to 300g. Try to focus on technique of your pour more
than the weight of the coffee.
STEP 6: THE FINAL POUR
Pour along the edge of the filter – up to 415g.
Give it a good swirl to help the coffee draw down.
