Overview
The Kalita 102 is a ceramic pour over dripper with straight sides and Kalita's signature 3-hole base, sized for 102 filters. It makes a single cup of coffee at a time and fits most standard decanters or mugs placed underneath.
- 4 inch diameter base
- Kalita 3-hole extraction design
- Sized for a single cup, roughly 8 to 12 ounces
- Ceramic construction, made in Japan
Who it's for
Suited to someone already making pour over coffee who wants a heavier, more balanced brewer than a plastic cone. Not for anyone wanting an all in one brewing system, since a separate kettle, filters and scale are still needed.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who compare it to plastic cone drippers consistently say the 3-hole design produces a more balanced cup, and several call it their final upgrade after trying cheaper options first. The recurring caution in the reviews is to buy 102 size filters and to expect a break risk since it is ceramic.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 3-hole base gives more even extraction than single-hole drippers
- Heavy ceramic holds heat once preheated
- Rinses clean in seconds after use
- Requires 102 size filters specifically
- No timer or thermometer, pour technique matters
