Know before you buy
This model is designed specifically for use with Kalita 102 paper filters. Using other shapes or sizes may result in poor fit and uneven extraction.
Yes, it is highly recommended to pre-warm the ceramic dripper with hot water before adding your coffee grounds. This prevents the cold ceramic from absorbing heat from your brew water, ensuring a more stable extraction temperature.
The 3-hole design helps regulate the flow rate of the water through the coffee bed. This promotes a more consistent extraction and reduces the likelihood of the coffee over-extracting or becoming bitter.
Yes, the ceramic construction is durable enough to be cleaned in the dishwasher. However, hand washing with mild soap is also perfectly effective and helps prevent accidental chips or cracks over time.
While the capacity is rated for 2-4 cups, you can certainly brew a single cup. Just be mindful that the flow rate may be slightly faster, so you may need to adjust your grind size or pour technique to achieve your desired strength.
