Kalita brand is a Japanese company that specializes in high-quality, Japanese-made coffee-brewing equipment.

Manufacturing: The company is committed to producing products of high quality and functional beauty, with many items being manufactured in Japan using traditional techniques, often in the Tsubame-Sanjo region in Niigata, Japan, renowned for its high-quality metalworking, producing a wide variety of products from cutlery to machine parts.

Kalita is particularly known for its high-quality coffee brewing equipment, the innovative Kalita Wave dripper. This is famous for its unique flat-bottom design with three small holes, which promotes even extraction for a clean and balanced cup of coffee. Kalita is also recognized for its commitment to Japanese craftsmanship, precision, and functional beauty, creating products from materials like stainless steel and traditional Japanese ceramics.

  • Uncompromising Quality: Made in Tsubame, Japan The WDC-155 is not just a coffee dripper—it's a piece of art, proudly bearing the "Made in TSUBAME" certification.
  • Tsubame Craftsmanship: This designation signifies that the dripper has been meticulously crafted in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, a region renowned worldwide for its centuries-old tradition of superior metalworking and polishing. 
  • Luxurious Copper Material: The copper construction not only gives the WDC-155 a stunning, sophisticated shine but also offers superb thermal properties. Copper rapidly transfers and retains heat, helping to maintain a stable brewing temperature and ensuring an optimal, even extraction. 
  • The Design for Consistent Excellence: The Kalita Wave system is the dripper of choice for many professional baristas and is beloved by home brewers for its unique, forgiving design. 
  • Flat-Bottomed Brew Bed: Unlike conical drippers, the flat bottom creates an even, wide coffee bed. This unique design ensures that water interacts uniformly with all the coffee grounds, virtually eliminating "channeling" and promoting a balanced, reliable extraction. 
  • Signature Three-Hole Design: The three small drainage holes at the base work in conjunction with the flat bed to control the flow rate. This gentle, consistent drawdown minimizes the potential for error, making it incredibly easy for beginners to achieve a clean, flavourful, and sweet cup of coffee. 
  • The Wave Filter System: Designed to be used with Kalita's patented wavy-sided filters (155 size), this pairing is key to the brewer's success. The rippled filter shape minimizes contact with the dripper walls, creating insulating air pockets that further stabilize the temperature and encourage an even, steady flow. 
  • Experience a Brighter, Cleaner Brew: The Kalita Wave WDC-155 is engineered to produce a distinctively clean, complex, and rich flavor profile, often highlighting the brighter, more nuanced notes of specialty coffee.

Directions

How to Brew Calita Coffee?

The freshly ground coffee powder has exceptional taste and aroma, and is best to grind with a hand grind mill or electric grinder just before you brew it.
Fill with coffee for a few people.The standard amount for 1 serving (4.2 fl oz (120 ml) is approximately 0.4 oz (10 g). For 2 people, about 0.7 oz (20 g), for 3 people, about 1.1 oz (30 g) is the basic recipe.


Keep boiling water slightly cool (about 198°F to 198°F). Pour a little warm water to the extent that the powder gets wet, and steamed for about 30 seconds. 
Slow Pour: Pour narrow stream of hot water in the center. When steaming is finished, divide hot water into 4 to 5 portions and pour it until it is in portion. Pouring on the outside makes the coffee thin.
