Strong Brew
Open in appKalita's strong-brew approach for the 101 raises coffee concentration while relying on the dripper's naturally slow outlet. Built for medium to dark roasts, it seeks a compact, full-bodied cup with intensity but controlled harshness.

Definitions, ratios and protocols behind this recipe.
- Kalita Wave Where the V60 gives you a deep cone and free-flowing exit, the Kalita Wave does the opposite: a flat bed, three small holes, and a corrugated paper that holds itself off the walls. The brewer restricts flow on purpose. The grounds and the device share control.
- Origin Where the coffee grew shapes the cup more than almost anything else. Soil, altitude, climate, and varietal interact for the years the tree spends in the ground. Once the cherry is picked, the rest of the chain (processing, roast, brew) only modifies what's already there. You can't put fruit into a coffee that wasn't grown for it.
