Description

The difference between good pour-over and exceptional pour-over often comes down to one overlooked variable: your filter paper. KALITA has been manufacturing coffee filters in Japan since 1958, refining the craft through generations of production expertise.

Why KALITA Filters Matter

• Zero paper taste – Bleached without chlorine, these filters undergo a specialized washing process that eliminates the cardboard flavor common in generic filters. What you taste is purely coffee.
• Precision-engineered thickness – At 0.28mm, the paper strikes the optimal balance between filtration and flow rate. Thick enough to catch micro-fines that create bitterness, thin enough to maintain proper extraction speed.
• Wave-shaped compatibility – Designed specifically for KALITA Wave drippers (155/185 series). The flat-bottom geometry promotes even water contact across the entire coffee bed, reducing channeling.

Available Sizes

• No.155 (White) – 50 sheets per pack. Fits KALITA Wave 155 dripper. Ideal for single-cup brewing (15-18g coffee).
• No.185 (White) – 50 sheets per pack. Fits KALITA Wave 185 dripper. Perfect for 2-3 cup batches (25-30g coffee).

Brewing Impact

Independent testing shows that paper quality affects extraction yield by up to 1.5%. With KALITA filters, you get cleaner cups with more defined flavor clarity – the subtle fruit notes in Ethiopian coffees, the chocolate depth in Brazilians, the floral aromatics in Colombians all come through without paper interference.
