Pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a Kalita Wave brewer

Automatic Brewer

"Most modern drippers allow you to tinker with various brewing variables when you're in the mood, or lock in a single recipe that works for you with the touch of a button. They really shine when you need to make coffee for a crowd. So invite some friends over for brunch and let the brewer do its thing while you whip up the perfect hollandaise sauce." - Kyle Tush, Green Coffee Buyer

Let's Brew!

Weigh 1,000 grams of water and add to the brewer’s reservoir.
Weigh 63g of coffee and grind on a medium-coarse setting, slightly finer than kosher salt.
Place the coffee filter in the brew basket and add ground coffee. Place the carafe and basket back under the brewer’s shower head.
Toggle the brew switch to start the brewing process.
Wait for the brew cycle to finish completely and enjoy!
