How To Brew With A Kalita Wave Coffee Maker
Kalita was established in Tokyo, Japan in the late 1950s. The company specializes in drip-based coffee-making equipmentโcoffee mills, kettles, and pour-over devices.

How To Brew With A Siphon Coffee Maker
The coffee siphon (or vac-pot) experienced a renaissance among coffee professionals around 2007. In its heyday, baristas wielded siphons as they wielded portafilters: up dosed, interpretively under-extracted, and shrouded in a wizardโs cloak of theater and pocket science. While some cafes still offer siphons, itโs nowhere near as popular as it once wasโbut that doesnโt mean itโs not delightful and delicious!
