Kalita is probably the most recognisable name in the world of pour-over coffee aside from Hario, having become an international giant of a company ever since specialty coffee started to become a little more mainstream. The decades-old family-owned coffee equipment manufacturer has been making its V60 competitor, the Kalita Wave, since 1958, and now you can pair it with an aesthetically matching Kalita kettle.

If you’re new to or unfamiliar with specialty coffee, you may wonder why one needs a special kind of kettle to brew it (these kinds of kettles are often called “gooseneck” kettles). Simply put, when brewing with pour-over drippers like the Kalita Wave or Hario V60, having more control over your pour is important if you want to get the most out of your coffee. You need a kettle that offers you a precise and steady stream so that you can keep your coffee bed as even as possible throughout brewing and ensure consistent extraction.

Kalita’s own stainless steel kettle sports a slim spout and an ergonomic wooden grip that feels pleasant to hold and allows for precise, controlled pouring. It’s also designed with the same elegance as the Wave dripper, making it the perfect addition to your Kalita pour-over setup.
