Maintenance Instructions:

After each use, wash the dripper with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. The glass material is dishwasher safe, but hand washing will prolong its lifespan. To prevent the buildup of coffee oils, deep clean once a week using hot water and a coffee cleanser tablet. Avoid using harsh scrubbers or metal sponges, as they can damage the glass surface. After washing, dry all parts thoroughly, wiping with a soft towel to prevent water marks. Store the dripper in a dry and safe place, being careful not to drop it. Avoid sudden temperature changes; do not put very hot glass in cold water, as it may crack. If you will not be using it for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry and store it in a safe cupboard. If cracks or breaks occur, discontinue use, as it may pose a safety hazard. Maintain the dripper's performance and aesthetic appearance through regular maintenance.

Usage Tips:

Use Kalita Wave 185 special wavy filters; standard filters won't give the same results. Place the filter inside the dripper; the wavy structure will naturally settle. Wet the filter with hot water before brewing to remove any papery taste and warm the dripper. Use a medium grind, ideal for a sea salt-like consistency. Use 20-25g of coffee for 2 cups, 35-40g for 4 cups, using a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:15 or 1:16. Keep the water temperature between 90-96°C, and let it sit for 30 seconds after boiling. Begin with the bloom stage, pour in twice the amount of water as coffee, and wait 30-45 seconds. Pour water slowly and controllably in circular motions, wetting the center and edges evenly. Keep the total brewing time between 2.5-3.5 minutes; longer times may result in a bitter taste. Monitor the brewing process through a clear glass, checking the water level and coffee color. Experiment with different coffee varieties and roasting levels; each offers different flavor profiles. Use freshly ground coffee, as pre-ground coffee quickly loses its aroma. Place the dripper on a flat, stable surface; tilted surfaces result in uneven brewing. Use quality water; filtered or purified water improves the coffee's flavor. Take notes after each brew, noting which parameters yielded the best results. Learn professional barista techniques and hone your skills by practicing with the Wave system.
