Kalita is a Japanese, family-owned business that has been a leader in the coffee industry in Japan since the 1950s. It wasn't until the advent of specialty coffee brought the popularity of pour-over coffee brewing into the mainstream that Kalita became the international coffee giant that it is today.
Kalita's position as a leader in the speciality coffee space has been cemented with the many competition titles that have been won using their brewers. Today, Kalita coffee drippers make regular appearances on the stage of World Coffee Events and are loved by many speciality coffee connoisseurs around the world.
