Classic Pour

Kalita 101 Kalita by Kalita

Kalita's classic recipe highlights the traditional 101 wedge dripper and its measured, slower flow. Intended as a dependable single-cup baseline, it develops familiar sweetness, moderate body, and a clear finish without elaborate pouring.

Notes

Fit and rinse the fan-shaped 101 filter so it sits flush along both walls. Use a controlled center-out pour and let the brewer regulate drawdown; adjust one grind step at a time when balancing sourness against dryness.
