101 Single Pour

Kalita 101 Kalita by CAFEC

CAFEC's guide for the Kalita 101 uses one continuous pour after blooming, letting the wedge bed and restricted outlet manage flow. The low-complexity method aims for a consistent single cup with balanced sweetness and body.

Notes

Settle the grounds into an even bed before blooming, then pour in smooth, centered circles without changing stream height. Dial grind so the brewer drains steadily; avoid stirring, which can clog the narrow lower filter area.
