For the coffee lover seeking a straightforward, reliable, and travel-ready brewer, the plastic Kalita 102 is a standout choice. We recommend this dripper for its famously forgiving nature and its practical, durable construction. The Kalita's classic wedge design takes the guesswork out of brewing, making it incredibly easy to achieve a sweet, balanced, and full-bodied cup of coffee, even without a perfect pouring technique.
This brewer is engineered to deliver a consistent and forgiving brew. Unlike a cone, the flat bottom and three small exit holes create a wider coffee bed and a self-regulating flow rate. This geometry ensures the water saturates the grounds more evenly and resists channeling, which is the key to its reliable and repeatable results. The lightweight plastic has excellent thermal properties, requiring minimal preheating for a stable extraction.
This is the ultimate no-fuss tool for a great daily cup of coffee. Its shatterproof plastic construction makes it an indispensable companion for travel, camping, or a busy kitchen where accidents can happen. Perfectly scaled for a single mug, it's a simple, robust, and highly effective dripper that allows you to focus on enjoying the coffee, not just on the complex labor of brewing it.
