More than a decade after the Kalita Wave took the coffee world by storm, Kalita quietly released an update that almost no one noticed. But after putting it through its paces, I can confidently say this is one of the most slept-on drippers in a while. Affordable, beautifully made in Japan, and featuring a subtle design change that completely changes the brew experience.
In this video, we’ll unpack what makes this redesign so special, why it fixes one of the Wave’s biggest problems, and whether it deserves a spot in your brewing lineup. If you thought the Kalita Wave had been left behind, think again—this one surprised me in the best way.
What You’ll Learn in This Video:
- The quiet redesign that fixes Kalita Wave’s biggest flaw
- Why this $38 dripper is more forgiving than most premium options
- Brewing tips for consistency (and what to watch out for)
- The history behind Kalita’s Wave and its role in pour over culture
- Whether this is the best balance of performance + value in 2025
Looking for a dripper that’s affordable, forgiving, and quietly excellent? This sleeper might be the one.
