Long Pours
Open in appVerve Coffee Roasters' home guide uses a bloom followed by a pair of broad pours in the Kalita Wave 185. The intentionally simple pattern relies on the flat bed and restricted flow to build even extraction and a balanced, approachable cup.

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.
- Processing Coffee grows as a cherry. The bean you brew is the seed. Processing is everything that happens between picking the cherry and getting a dry green bean ready to ship — and it's the second-biggest flavor decision after origin. Two coffees from the same farm processed differently will taste like two coffees.
