Overview
A plastic pour-over coffee dripper from Kalita's 102 line, sized for 2 to 4 cups and built around the brand's 3-hole wave extraction design. The cone sits on a 4 inch flat bottom meant to fit most standard mugs and carafes.
This is the dripper only, made specifically for Kalita's own wave-style filters rather than generic cone filters, and it brews up to about 12 ounces (350ml) per pour. Reviewers who use it regularly describe it as a no-frills, dependable brewer rather than anything with extra features.
