" ... I like it the most when I only want to make one or two cups of coffee. ... "
" ... Makes super coffee. ... You can make up to 500ml of coffee at a time. ... I grind coffee beans fresh every morning for the Kalita and the resulting brew that the Kalita produces is very flavorful and has a nice mouth feel. ... Online coffee gurus always recommend the following for making manual drip coffee. ... "
" ... Unfortunately I don't have a grinder and both times I had coffee ground for me at two different stores they made it too fine. ... "
" ... Makes good cup, coffee tasted bolder and came out less bright/sour compared to V60. ... "

" ... Beautiful, but not sure it works any better than the Melitta plastic dripper I was using. ... "
" ... The flat bottom, three hole design gives you the best, most even extraction possible. ... "
" ... I also love that this is stainless steel -- if you drop it, no problem. ... "
" ... I was looking for something that had great reviews, would be easy and quick to use, wouldn't break if dropped and wasn't plastic, and could be used with a Coffee Sock (reusable organic cotton filter). ... "
" ... PROS - The Wave 185 comes in a variety of materials, but I opted for the metal cone, which I believe is stainless steel. ... The stainless model is also a nice option to have if you need to travel with the dripper, and I worry less about slamming it down on a cup or glass carafe. ... "
" ... I opted for the stainless steel version as we'be already dropped the french press once. ... "
" ... The metal is durable and portable, and easy to clean. ... "
" ... can easily fit standard generic basket style filters if you want to be cheap like me. ... "

" ... It's easy, give it a try -- you may prefer to buy the special filters in the end, but at the very least you can use this method in a pinch if you run out of the official filters. ... "
