How it brews

Origami's wave-shaped paper for its drippers, a cellulose sheet in S (155) and M (185) sizes — the flat-bottom, crinkled-wall cup that fits the Kalita-Wave seat rather than a cone. It stands the bed on the fluted paper away from the walls the way Wave papers do, and it interchanges with Kalita-Wave 155/185 papers of the matching size. Origami publishes no fast/medium/slow class for it, so flow is left unrated. (Origami also sells a conical paper for the same dripper — this is the wave one.)

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.
