There are many different designs to choose from; including large and beautiful glass devices from manufacturers like Chemex, and smaller, disposable ones that can be unfolded and placed directly on top of your cup. This device represents a more traditional design – but it still incorporates features which set it apart from the crowd. The bottom of the dripper, for example, is flat – which helps to ensure that your coffee drains as evenly and consistently as possible. The sides are ridged, which helps to ensure an even distribution as well as good looks. The dripper is designed to sit atop a carafe – but it can just as easily sit directly atop your coffee cup, helping to reduce washing-up when you’re just making coffee for one. The ‘Wave’ comes in several different materials and sizes. The version you see here is built from stainless steel, and measures 185mm across. It’s perfect for making coffee for large groups of people – or just for yourself! Be sure to match it with filter papers designed for this size and model. You’ll find them elsewhere on this site.
