xOverview
Meet the Kalita Wave Series 155 Dripper, a compact, carefully engineered tool from a renowned Japanese coffee brand. Built for home brewers and small cafés alike, this dripper emphasizes even extraction through a flat-bottom bed and a wave-filter design. The 155 model is sized for 1–2 cup batches and is designed to pair with Kalita’s Wave filter 155 (part #22195), delivering a consistent, approachable brewing experience that captures the clarity of the beans you grind and pour.
Crafted to be both durable and portable, the main body is stainless steel, with a phenol resin handle and a brass frame, all coming together in a lightweight form that weighs about 82 g. The flange measures roughly 105 mm in diameter with an approximate height of 57 mm, giving you a compact unit that still allows for deliberate, controlled pours. As a Japan-origin import, it carries a heritage of precision and craft that many coffee enthusiasts value in daily routines.
