Kalita Wave 185 Stainless Steel Coffee Dripper

Experience Craftsmanship with the Kalita Wave

The Stainless Steel Kalita Wave Dripper 185 is thoughtfully crafted for achieving a strong robust coffee taste without the harsh bitter bite for all your pour-over coffee brews. Its unique flat dripper contact surface makes it so that the filter does not come into contact with the sides of the dripper, hence the wave design. When hot water is poured it does not accumulate but quickly drips to the Wave Zone avoiding bitterness and the result is a solid brew. The Kalita Wave is easy to use and will delight baristas and beginners alike. 

Don’t forget to add the Kalita Wave 185 filters for a better coffee brewing experience.

About the Brand

At Espresso Parts, we’ve always had a deep respect for Japanese coffee culture—its precision, intentionality, and timeless design. Kalita captures all of that. Since 1958, they've been crafting pour-over brewers that are as beautiful as they are functional, delivering clean, balanced cups with every brew.

We partnered with Kalita Japan in 2016 to bring their signature brewers, like the Wave and the 102, to baristas and home brewers across the U.S. That relationship evolved into Kalita USA in 2022, making it easier than ever to explore and enjoy their lineup—including favorites like the MINO, a handcrafted ceramic dripper made in Japan’s Gifu Prefecture using traditional Mino-yaki techniques.

Whether you’re brewing at home, on bar, or in the wild, Kalita’s tools are built to elevate the ritual—and the result—every single time.
