More from this brandAll Kalita pour over coffee makersOverview
The Kalita #35163 is a ceramic pour over dripper set built around the brand's 102-size filter, bundled with a 500cc glass server, a plastic stand, a measuring scoop and enough filters to get started brewing for two to four people.
This is Kalita's long running ceramic dripper, the style Japanese cafes used before the V60 became popular, and it brews differently from cone-shaped drippers: a flatter three-hole base slows the pour and rewards a patient, steady hand. The glass server is the fragile part of the set; the ceramic dripper itself is described as durable.
- Uses Kalita's 102-size paper filter
- 500cc glass server included
- Made in Japan except the glass carafe
- Brews for two to four people
Who it's for
Suits someone moving up from a basic drip machine or a French press who wants to slow down and taste the difference a manual pour brings. Less suited to buyers who want speed or a single grind-and-go routine, since results depend on grind size and pour technique.
Pros and cons
- Ceramic dripper holds up well with repeated use
- Zigzag pour is more forgiving than spiral pouring
- Complete set includes server, scoop and filters
- Glass server is thin and can break
- Results depend heavily on grind and pour technique
- Ships without cushioning, risking the glass server
