hello everyone.
This is Usukura from CROWD ROASTER .

In recent years, various coffee equipment has been developed to meet the needs of people who want to brew more delicious coffee.

I myself use different equipment depending on my mood that day and the brand.

In a previous article , we introduced the basic features of the Kalita Wave Dripper.

In this article, we will explain how to extract coffee using the Kalita Wave Dripper and what to be careful of when brewing.

 

The most distinctive features of Kalita Wave are its uniformity and stability.
I try to make sure that the recipes take advantage of this feature.

 

Bean amount: 20g
Extraction amount: 150ml
Pouring amount: 200ml
Steaming time: 45 seconds Extraction time: 1 minute 45 seconds

 

There are two points to keep in mind when extracting.

We recommend using a larger amount of beans than in a typical recipe.
One of the features of the Kalita Wave is that it has three holes on the bottom.

With three holes, the hot water flows out faster than with one hole.
Because it falls off quickly, the ingredients are not properly extracted, which tends to result in a weak coffee.

Therefore, by using a large amount of beans, we aim to cover up the weak taste and create a finished product with a strong flavor.

Although it may seem like a small detail, the way the filter is placed is extremely important in order to achieve the benefits of the Wave Dripper, namely uniformity and stability.

Place the dripper so that the filter is flat when viewed from the side.
If it appears to be tilted at this point, adjust it so that it is parallel.

If the filter is placed at an angle, hot water will tend to flow down that side, making it difficult to extract coffee evenly.

So make sure to check the filter before you start brewing.

 

What did you think?

Kalita Wave has a uniform taste that is easy to absorb, so it seems to go well with well-balanced brands or brands that you want to enjoy a satisfying drink.

When it comes to CROWD ROASTER brands, we recommend using this when you want a well-balanced, easy-to-drink brand such as ``[ SL28 ] Kenya/Kiamabala/ SL28 /Washed'' or ``[SJBA] Brazil/Sant John Grande/ Bourbon /Anaerobic.''
