A two year search

Many people have asked us for our own wave-shaped paper filter since we got started, but truthfully, it was always hard to find something better than what we could find on the market. As such, we kept searching rather than releasing something sub-standard. A two year search has yielded a great result as we finally were able to finally bring the best paper option for this shape of filter – we hope you will love it.

Thick, but porous

The paper construction is quite thick but also porous, which helps improve performance compared to alternatives. We didn’t like this paper in a flat format, but loved it in a wave shape – where its properties really shine.

Clean results, without papery taste

In the cup, you will have superior clarity but no papery taste – which was very important for us. This means less need for wasting hot water in pre-wetting and a more delicious cup of coffee.

Plug & play

We know we have a lot of filter options for our brewers, including the flat papers and Negotiator system – but we want to provide plug and play simple options too. The wave paper is the simplest filter method allowing you to just grab one, throw it in, and start brewing. If you want to expand and test many paper styles – for faster or higher extraction brews, we’ve got your back too with the Negotiator system. If you just want something simple, then this wave paper is for you.

Fast but not the fastest option

This paper is fast, but not the fastest option we have for this brewer. If you want to brew quicker and grind finer, we recommend using the Negotiator and the Sibarist FAST Flat papers.

Compatible with all except the Big Boy

This paper works in the V3, V3 MK2, Glass Series OPEN, V4 Narrow & V4 Wide. The only brewer this paper is not compatible with is the Big Boy, which has its own wave-shaped filter.

One size

We currently stock this paper only in the “Large / 185” size. These papers would be compatible with any brewer that works with Kalita Wave 185 filters as this shape and size is equivalent.
