The pour-over coffee culture originated in Europe, but it has flourished in Japan. Founded in 1959, Kalita is a long-established coffee appliance manufacturer in Japan, and has made a significant contribution to the field of pour-over coffee by pioneering the wave filter cup and special wave filter paper. The overall price positioning of Kalita is similar to that of Hario, but the Kalita pour-over pot and filter cup are relatively more selective, and they are also popular with coffee fans.
 
According to the structure, the filter cup can be divided into fan-shaped, trapezoidal, and conical, and it is the most popular entry-level pour-over tool, which will be found in all specialty coffee shops. Kalita's filter bowl is mainly trapezoidal and fan-shaped, these two types of filter bowls are characterized by having three small filter pores, Hario V60's single large filter pore is conducive to full extraction, hand brewing skills are relatively low, but relatively easy to over-extract, increase coffee bitterness, when using, pay attention to the coffee grind needs to be slightly coarser than V60, otherwise there may be a phenomenon of powder blockage. Among them, the 101 filter bowl is one of the most classic fan-shaped filter bowls, and it is recommended to choose a transparent material to make it easier to observe the drip filtration speed.
 
Also known as the "cake bowl", the Kalita wave series is one of the most classic trapezoidal bowls. It is a trapezoidal wavy streamlined structure that needs to be used with a special wavy filter paper. Generally, the filter bowl plays a diversion role in the cup of the filter bowl, and the wave filter paper has a special deepening diversion groove, which directly affects the change of water flow, and is characterized by a more dispersed water flow, which makes it easier to extract a cup of coffee with a full and solid taste.
 
Almost all the mainstream types of hand-poured pots Kalita are produced, and the product line is very rich, which can be divided into crane beak pots, goose mouth pots, thin-necked pots, and Daren pots according to the shape characteristics, and the materials are mainly copper, stainless steel and enamel. Whether you're a novice or a coffee veteran, you'll find a pour-over pot in Kalita.
 
Among them, the Wave series pour-over pot and the palace pot are both fine-spouted spouts, whether it is a fine water flow or a coarse water flow, the water outlet is relatively stable and easy to control, suitable for brewing coffee beans with different characteristics. Among them, the palace pot is classical and unique, with a great sense of design beauty, and the price is about 1,000 yuan. In terms of practicality and cost performance, the Wave pour-over pot priced at about 300 yuan is more recommended.
 
In addition, the spout of the Daren pot and goose spout pot is shorter and wider, and the variability of the water flow thickness is stronger, and the water output and water collection are very accurate. Using this pour-over pot requires very skilled hand-brewing skills, which is not friendly to novices, but many hand-brewing enthusiasts can't put down this kind of crane-spout pot that can reflect hand-brewing skills.
