Mastering your Kalita recipe in the kitchen lets you brew the perfect cup wherever your morning starts. The following recipe is what we are using in the lab. 

You will need:

• Kalita Wave

• 20 grams of coffee (we are using Flowers) ground as fine as table salt

• Hot water just under boiling (200°F)

• Kalita Filters

• Timer

• Scale

• Mug

STEP 01

• Place a filter in the Kalita dripper.

• Use hot water to fully saturate the filter and preheat your dripper and mug in the process. Discard the rinse water. 

 

STEP 02

• Add your coffee grounds (20 grams)

• Tap the sides of the Kalita to get the grind bed to lie flat in the filter

• Tare your scale 

 

STEP 03

• Your water should be just under boiling (200°F - 205°F)

• Start timer as you start your pour

• Pour 60g of water and fully saturate the grounds. Your coffee is blooming. Wait :30 - :45 seconds

 

STEP 04

• Pour 200g of water by using a spiral pour that starts in the center and circles to the edges. This pour should take :15 seconds.

 

STEP 05
