Know before you buy
The three-hole design helps regulate the flow of water through the coffee grounds, which prevents over-extraction and ensures a more balanced, consistent cup compared to single-hole drippers.
Yes, this dripper is designed specifically for Kalita 102 filters. Using the correct shape ensures the filter fits properly against the walls of the dripper for optimal extraction.
Not at all. The ceramic is durable and dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. We recommend pre-warming the dripper with hot water before brewing to ensure it maintains the proper temperature during the pour.
The 102 size is designed to brew between 2 and 4 cups of coffee, making it a great choice for individual use or small batches.
The base has a 4-inch diameter, which fits most standard coffee mugs and carafes. If you are using a very narrow-rimmed mug, just ensure the base sits securely before you begin pouring.
