Automatic brewers are ubiquitous on kitchen counters and provide an easy, no-fuss way of getting your morning cup. But not all automatic brewers are created equal, and some of the less expensive options may be preventing you from achieving the best flavors your coffee can offer.
So, should you go manual? Definitely, if you want to!
Here, we show off what we think is a great entry-level brewer, the Kalita Wave 185. With a flat-bottom geometry, the Kalita Wave is a very forgiving brewer that is capable of creating balanced, rich, and sweet cups. Our recipe is kept very simple - a bloom and a single pour - to make it as easy as possible for those just starting off.
With just a little investment in your gear, you can be off and running into the world of pour over coffee and - perhaps - the best coffee you've ever tasted.
