Kalita Wave Brew Guide (My FAVORITE recipe)
Рет қаралды 67,137
Күн бұрынHere's my Kalita Wave recipe. I have been using this pour over method for more than a year almost every single day, and the results are just spectacular.
⚠️ Disclaimer: It's easy to get EPIC results following this method... However, if you're not familiar with pour over coffee, these steps might confuse you. This video is aimed at intermediate/advanced brewers.
➡️ For more details, check out my recipe & instructions on my blog: coffeechronicl...
➡️ Kalita Wave dispersion hack: (follow on IG for small tips and tricks like this!) / cb0efnahblh
I'm NOT a big fan of the stainless steel version of the Kalita Wave. But if you already own it, here's a hack that will improve it significantly: Get the steel screen from the Flair Pro, and place it underneath the paper filter. It fits perfectly in the Kalita and will prevent stalling issues and unpredictable flow rates. Contrary to what you'd think, it actually becomes FASTER than without.

Happy to see such an expert enjoying the Kalita Wave. I use the steel Kalita Wave 155 (the smaller one cup model). It never stalls for me, and I don't add a screen at the bottom. And I don't pour through a Gabi, and I don't stir the coffee during the pour. And yet it is very forgiving and brings the best out of most coffees, especially darker roasts, even when the grind and the temperature are not perfectly dialed in. To be honest I have not spent much time with a Hario V60, but I know the Kalita is much better than the Melitta. One strange thing is, the papers in the red and yellow boxes are a better fit than the ones in the clear bags, despite both being genuine.

Thanks so much ! I have been using this recipe for the past year with a kalita wave 155 hasami. but use ( 15-16 g ) And it's been great and consistent. It allows me to focus on changing temp and grind size.I have used pretty much the same times for the 185 .It seems my 185 hasami has a faster flow rate. ( as I understand the hasami is inconstant.) The thing I like about the hasami 155 with wave filters is they maintain shape due to I assume clinging to the rough unglazed surface. So I do vary the grind size depending on the coffee and how it extracts. I find certain coffees taste better with longer extractions more 3-3:30 min Generally most courser grind sizes are under extracted less than 3 min ( a bit sour ) This recipe is great as it is consistent seems the brew timing is almost fixed by the technique. I will say I do miss hitting the 2:20 min time and get more 2:30 for the 3 part start with the Gabi B. I also preheat both the Kalita 155 and the Gabi B. I also play with the ratios a bit ( 5-10 gr water more ) in the bloom and in the agitation phase. I have had some really amazing cups although I have been purchasing more pricey beans timing the coffee resting so that also is a big factor. I like light roasts so I use a 205 F water temp sometimes plus or - 1-3 degrees. . Again thanks for this I found your blog as I was starting into improving my pour overs and purchasing new equipment . Your suggestions were both economical and of high quality.

Update: I started using the Flair shower screen with my Glass Kalita wave 185 & my Fellow Stagg XF drippers. Both with success! Especially with the Fellow XF, which is the larger of the 2 Fellow drippers, the dispersion screen made a definite difference. The XF can handle larger doses & I found more than 30g of coffee made the paper filter sag down towards the holes due to weight when wet. I had ordered a Kalita Steel dripper BEFORE seeing your video & decided to try your screen hack with these other flat bottom drippers while waiting for it to arrive. Great solution as i really prefer flat bottom brewers. Thanks!!!!

I like the idea of limiting the agitation in the last part of brewing. I use a similar recipe too. I think proper agitation is good for even distribution of heat and concentration, but agitation also let the surface of particles keep eroding. When we brew filter coffee, the grind setting is relatively coarser than espresso, so we need more time to get things out of the deeper part of the particles. If we agitates too much, we'll over-extract the surface before the deeper part getting proper extraction. Controlled agitation + enough brewing time = more balanced and longer aftertaste.

I've been using this at work with a v60 as is (well, no dripper for the last pour), and I think it's works great. But one little change is that I think of it as 3, 8, 16, so I am looking at the current weight instead of taring out after each pour.

Amazing! I spent the last week experimenting with a December Dripper and a Gabi Drip Master B that I purchased for my birthday. My experimentations after that week led me to the near exact same recipe that you showed. I normally brew with a 13g:200g dose and have a 50g fully-immersed bloom, 50g pour at full open, and two 50g pours with the Gabi. I find splitting the final 50% increases sweetness from the longer contact time without adding bitterness due to minimal agitation. With this recipe I have made even coffee that my sister has found "too" sweet and no longer balanced but I do think that particular coffee already had a very strong inherent sweetness which became overemphasised. I also do a preheat cycle for the Gabi in a separate cup.

But i must keep experimenting with grind size, etc. I know your dispersion screen suggestion is for the metal Kalita Wave dripper. I hope to find a way to try that soon! Per your inspiration, I will keep experimenting!! Thinking of getting the plastic Cafec Flower dripper. Not that i need another dripper but it is inexpensive & I'd like to compare it as you did in another video. Thanks for keeping my coffee trip fun & informative!!

My Gabi Master B just arrived, and bad timing: I only had one dose of beans left to try it, even beans that I don't usually use for pour-overs (from Brazil, not bad but a bit on the unremarkable and boring side, and almost 2 weeks after roasting). The result following this recipe, however, was a positive surprise. I don't think I got these beans to ever taste so clean, sweet and with this aftertaste before. I'm looking forward to my usual go-to beans for pour-over, I just need to find some time to roast on the weekend. I usually also struggle to finish with a flat brew bed, but not so here. Mind you, I don't have a gooseneck kettle (yet), so I'm probably at a stage where it's still easy to make big improvements in quality just with better technique and the right tools such as the Drip Master. One thing I read in Drip Master B reviews: I also noticed that some holes were blocked initially. I poured in cold water and went through blocked holes with a needle to unclog them. I didn't feel any resistance doing this, but it did fix the issue and the water is now dripping evenly through all holes. It just takes a minute, but it's something I'd suggest to check.

@satyr966 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Asser, thanks for the brilliant recipe, which has become my go-to and I use it every day. With this recipe (1:16 ratio) and the Blue Bottle dripper (which I also discovered thanks to you), I get a great cup pretty much every time, even without dialing in specifically for different coffees. I use the Aeropress stir stick for the agitation, which is a lot more aggressive than the end of a regular spoon, but it seems to work well (my grind size dial-in no doubt accounted for the difference). This question may be a bit naive, but I am trying to understand why the 1:14 ratio / very coarse grind version from your blog post works. This variant indeed works well, I just don't understand why, and I'd appreciate any insights. Compared to your standard recipe (1:16 ratio, medium-fine grind), the ratio and grind size changes should both reduce extraction. So if 1:16 medium fine has the right amount of extraction, why don't we get a sour, under-extracted cup with 1:14 very coarse? What am I missing?
@satyr966 2 жыл бұрын
To answer my own question for any future readers who are wondering, after some experimentation I can confirm that the 1:14 ratio coarse grind recipe is indeed more sour, all other things being equal. The solution is to increase the water temperature to compensate (presumably this is what Asser intended we do, but it isn't mentioned explicitly in his blog post). With this adjustment, you can indeed get excellent fruity, sweet cups with a true-to-life flavor using the 1:14 version of the recipe.

You are always so thorough! But i did not hear/read anything much beyond size about the 155 vs the 185. I also checked your blog article where you mentioned the comparative sturdiness in the 155 glass drippers only. I am about to buy my first Kalita wave dripper so could you kindly comment about any nuances you have found in the 2 sizes. i mostly brew a 20g/300ml cup for myself. And i am leaning towards the glass dripper. So the 155 seems perfect - EXCEPT i've read a couple of comments that one has to watch the bloom spilling over the sides due to small size of the 155. Thank you!!!

Thanks Paul! If you're doing bigger brews than 18 g, 155 can feel a bit too small and result in the problem you mention. I would suggest you go for 185 Ceramic if your main recipe is 20 g. As mentioned in the post, the big glass version is extremely fragile.

Which setting interval on the k-max would you generally grind in for kalita and v60, respectively?

Thanks for the recipe! I've been in to kalita this past few weeks too and i have trouble dialing in my bean. My brew tend to get slower at the last 30 second of the brew( around 3 min and 30 second for just 13 g). Is it normal? By the way im using 1zpresso q1. Do you have any recommendation grind size for kalita, and v60 too?
@coffeechronicler 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Andy, for such a small dose that sounds pretty slow. Are you using the steel Kalita? You might be experiencing clogging. You can see my previous video about stalling for some more ways to fix this. A good place to start with the Mini Q is 2,5 rotations from true zero (probably not #0 on the dial) and then adjust from there. Good luck!

@@raffloresjr I wouldn't recommend trying it with the SS 155, but that has more to do with the quirks of the SS model rather than the size. The stir is to push up extraction.

Hi Asser, could I ask if this technique would work efficiently with larger brews of like lets say 40grams of coffee in narrower ratios of like 1:14? And would you recommend this method (plus using the Gabi Drip Master B) for other drippers like the Origami (both kalita and v60 filters) and the flatbed Blue Bottle Dripper? Thank you so much!
@coffeechronicler 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Brad, it works very well with bigger batches like the one you mentioned. 1:14 is fine as long as you grind coarser, but of course it also depends on other variables and your own taaste. I have had good results with most flat bottoms drippers and also with Origami w/ wave filter. For cone shaped drippers I tend to use a different pattern.

@@coffeechronicler Hi Asser, your last comment has me curious now about your cone technique? Do you plan to release a video on that? Also since the Origami can do the V60 filters I'm curious to know if your cone pour over technique also incorporates the use of Gabi Master B?
@coffeechronicler 4 жыл бұрын
@@beerad Yes, I use Gabi for almost everything unless I'm feeling lucky or adventurous :) While the flat bottom is 3-5-8, the cone shaped is more like 3-3-10. I swirl the bloom, the second pour is circle pour, and then the remainder (10 x dose) is through the gabi inner reservoir. Will probably do a video on it in the future.

The Coffee Chronicler “lucky or adventurous!” Hahhaha!!! this is gold! Ok! I’m off to get a Gabi B now! Hahahahahah! Thank you very much for this. I’ve been having loads of brews on both the origami M and the blue bottle dripper that have been beautiful but then so difficult to replicate. I think the gabi b could be a way to keep things consistent. If you're doing bigger batches, do you fill up both reservoirs twice? or do you feel always once with the 2 reservoirs the first time and then subsequently always in the inner one?

@@coffeechronicler Checking in after ordering the Gabi dripmaster B and making a few cups. It does indeed fit the kalita wave 155, although only the inner reservoir as you mentioned. Still not nailing the recipe, but I found that I need to grind way coarser than I normally would in order to not have an overwhelming and dull cup (currently on 27 clicks on the comandante c40, usually around 23-21 for my regular "single pour" v60 / kalita). Tested three different beans with a 18g dose, drawdown usually around 2:40-2:50, never managed to get it above 3 mins even with the finest grind. Cups with a coarser grind are getting better with some brightness and sweet aftertaste, but I still think there are some tinkering left to do. Any suggestions as to how to improve the cup from here?
