Low-Temp Pours

Kalita Wave 185 Kalita by Kurasu

Kurasu Kyoto's updated Kalita Wave 185 guide uses cooler water, a modest dose, and staged pours in a Japanese brewing style. It is tailored to delicate light-roast coffees, seeking tea-like body, clear aromatics, and gentle sweetness.

Notes

Brew at 91°C and let each small pulse settle without allowing the bed to become completely dry. Favor aromatic light roasts; grind finer for a hollow cup, but reduce agitation if drawdown becomes sluggish.
