Kalita Wave Dripper 185 S

The Wave Dripper 185 S is the large size in Kalita's stainless steel Wave line, meant for brewing more cups at once than the 155. The manufacturer states an all stainless steel body ("ステンレス製", stainless steel) under product code 05151, rated for 2-4 people ("２～４人用") and a weight of about 175 grams.

The Wave series page describes the same two distinctive design traits shared with the 155: the "wave zone" has a flat bottom, so unevenly poured water still spreads uniformly over the coffee bed, and the three drain holes characteristic of the Kalita system keep the liquid from pooling in the filter for long, limiting the extraction of bitter compounds. The dripper requires exclusively the Wave paper filter in size 185, stated for 2-4 people.

It is a manual accessory with no electrical parts: the manufacturer does not state a capacity in millilitres, only the number of people served. The same shape and three-hole design are shared with the 155 size, not covered here.
