Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers consistently commend the Kalita Wave 185 Glass Kit for its flat‑bottom, three‑hole design paired with patented 20‑wave filters that ensure even extraction and a balanced cup. The glass dripper’s fast, predictable flow is praised as superior to stainless‑steel versions, and the included brewing parameters make the process fool‑proof for both novices and seasoned baristas. Minor criticisms focus on its limited 2‑4 cup capacity, the need for proprietary filters, and the inherent fragility of glass compared to metal alternatives.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the kit’s simplicity, consistent flavor, and all‑in‑one packaging that includes filters, a server, and a coffee journal. Common praise centers on easy cleanup, compact size, and reliable results with minimal effort. Recurring complaints involve forgetting to buy the specific Kalita filters, the glass’s breakability, and the modest brew volume that doesn’t suit larger gatherings.
Common Complaints
Needing to stock proprietary Kalita Wave filters, limited 2‑4 cup capacity, glass fragility risk, faster flow requiring recipe adjustments, and lack of full kit weight information for shipping.
How It Compares
vs. Kalita Wave 155 Glass Kit
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the 155 kit for minimalist, single‑serve brewing; opt for the 185 kit when you need 2‑4 cup capacity.
vs. Hario V60 (Cone Dripper)
Advantages
Disadvantages
The V60 is great for users who enjoy fine‑tuning their brew; the Kalita Wave 185 provides a more consistent, beginner‑friendly experience.
vs. Stainless Steel Kalita Wave
Advantages
Disadvantages
Stainless steel is perfect for on‑the‑go durability; the glass 185 excels in speed, ease of cleaning, and compactness for home use.
