How it brews
The larger (2-4 cup) Wave paper — same crinkled flat-bottom cup as the 155, scaled up for the 185 dripper. The flat bed and three small drain holes hold the coffee off the walls and reward a steady, unfussy pour, which is why the Wave is a go-to when you want repeatability over a cone's higher ceiling. Kalita doesn't publish a flow class and there's no dependable within-seat ranking, so flow is left unrated here rather than invented. The 185 seat is widely shared: OREA Wave, the larger Stagg (XF) and Blue Bottle papers all drop into it.
