KALITA WAVE 185
Yield: ~ 15.5 fl oz | Brew Ratio: 1:17 - 1:16 | Grind Size: Med. - Med.-Coarse |
Ground Dose: 30g |
Water Dose: 500g |
Brew Time: 3 - 3.5 min. |
Heat 500g filtered water just off-boil (~205-210℉).
Grind 30g coffee medium to med.-coarsely (just finer than the size of kosher salt).
Drop a Kalita 185 "cupcake style" paper filter in the brew basket, which sits on a carafe and scale. Tare scale to zero.
Weigh 30g ground dose into the paper filter, then tare scale to zero.
Start a timer and pour hot water into the center of the grounds from 2” above. Pour slowly, spiraling outwards. Pour just enough water to completely wet the grounds (~60g water).
At 0:45, resume pouring in a slow circle until your scale reads 150g water.
At 1:30, slowly pour to 250g.
At 2:00, slowly pour to 350g.
At 2:30, pour once around the rim of the Wave's filter, drawing all coffee grounds down into the slurry. Finish with a centered pour, stopping when you reach 500g Poured Water, as close to the 3:00 mark as possible.
The coffee should finish dripping between 3:05 and 3:30 minutes. Feel free to compost your spent filter and grounds.
Swirl the carafe before you serve to enjoy a well-mixed brew.
