コーヒードリッパー難民でいろいろ試してきましたが、底の部分の穴が大きいのが気になってました。こちらは穴が小さいのでゆっくり落ちると思うので比較すると時間は少しかかりますが今までで1番美味しいと感じます。お手入れに自信がなくステンレスにしましたが、こちらも綺麗です。作りもしっかりしています。

I had been using a medium Frieling Cilio ceramic one-hole dripper for Melitta #4 cone filters for years, until it finally cracked. I wanted to replace it with a dripper that won't break, isn't plastic, and doesn't have internal rivets that might rust, so I bought the Tsubame 185, hoping to still be able to use my hundreds of remaining (cheap!) Melitta filters with it. I am so pleased that the #4 filters work just fine with the bottom inch folded up (instead of just the bottom seam, as one would for use in a Melitta cone dripper). Even though the dripper capacity is smaller, requiring more/smaller pours than the larger Cilio, the flow rate/total brewing time is somehow magically much faster overall (no clogging/slowdown of the filter) AND the same coffee tastes VERY noticeably better. This beautiful dripper is really worth the price.

Café genial

Making coffee at home started with an Aeropress and a Hario Mini-Slim+. Later on, not wanting to deal with plastic/vinyl, I later moved on to a Comandante C40 MK3 and a Hario Switch 03.While I do love immersion brewing with its full body, I could never obtain the bright notes described on coffee bags, unless maybe perhaps if I was making iced coffee.I've avoided percolation/pour-over methods for a while. I thought it would take too much time, effort and technique. I could say now, that really isn't the case. You just got to put in the work to learn.My reasons for choosing the TSUBAME Kalita Wave are that I heard the Kalita Wave was the most consistent pour over device, and after trying a pour over from a coffee shop that used the TSUBAME Kalita Wave, I was sold.The first week was filled with buyer's remorse. I failed many times trying every tip and trick I could find without modifying or adding any additional hardware to the TSUBAME Kalita Wave Stainless setup. The method that works best for me is based on Dylan Siemens' method, and a little observation on my part.1. Water in a gooseneck at 206F2. Grind coffee at 23 clicks on a Comandante C40 (adjust as coffee ages or to your taste)3. Plop filter into dripper.3. When water is up to temp, rinse the filter. Discard rinse water.Note: Some water will still remain between the bottom of dripper and the bottom of the filter. Tilt dripper towards any of the holes of the dripper to dry to get as much water out. Do not disrupt the position of the filter during this process. Also keep in mind where the holes are, because if you don't use a dripper stand like I do, you'll notice that the dripper won't sit level if the top of glassware isn't level. The dripper should tilt down towards a hole if needed.4. Pour in coffee grinds and shake the dripper to level the coffee grinds.5. When timer starts, saturate the grinds starting from the center and moving outwards in a circular motion up to washing the grinds back down from the filter walls with 3x water. I use 18g coffee grinds for 327g of water so I pour around 60g of water in this bloom phase. Use a spoon to lightly stir any gassy areas.Note: The following pour times will vary, depending on how fast the dripper drips, but the key is to maintain a high water level to maintain the dripping. Just keep an eye on when you can pour another 60g to maintain such high level. Again, always start from the center and move outwards in a circular motion up to washing the grinds back down from the filter walls.6. At around 00m 45s, I pour in 120g of water to bring the total water to 180g.7. At just over 01m 00s, I pour in 60g of water to bring the total water to 240g.8. At just over 01m 15s, I pour in 60g of water to bring the total water to 300g.9. At just over 1m 30s, I pour in 60g of water to bring me up to my final water weight of 327g.10. Coffee done in less than 3:30 minutes.
