Kalita Wave Tsubame Stainless Steel Coffee Dripper 185

Craftsmanship meets elegance with the Kalita Wave Tsubame Stainless Steel Dripper. Made in Tsubame, a renowned city in Japan’s Niigata Prefecture known for its world-class metalwork, this dripper is a testament to precision and beauty. Tsubame, the heart of Japan's metal processing expertise, ensures each piece is masterfully crafted to the highest standards.

This dripper is made from significantly heavier gauge stainless steel, which retains heat better for more stable brewing temperatures. The bottom of the dripper features a domed-up design, promoting more even drainage and balanced extractions from the filter.

The uniquely designed handle is elegantly curved, offering both style and function to make each pour-over feel effortless and refined. Designed to be used with Kalita Wave 185 filters, it delivers consistent, even extractions for 2-4 cups of coffee (500-700ml). Its flat-bottom, 3-hole design ensures balanced brewing, making it a favorite for home brewers and professionals alike.

Bring a piece of Japanese metalwork tradition to your coffee ritual with the Kalita Wave Tsubame Stainless Steel Dripper.

About the Brand

At Espresso Parts, we’ve always had a deep respect for Japanese coffee culture—its precision, intentionality, and timeless design. Kalita captures all of that. Since 1958, they've been crafting pour-over brewers that are as beautiful as they are functional, delivering clean, balanced cups with every brew.

We partnered with Kalita Japan in 2016 to bring their signature brewers, like the Wave and the 102, to baristas and home brewers across the U.S. That relationship evolved into Kalita USA in 2022, making it easier than ever to explore and enjoy their lineup—including favorites like the MINO, a handcrafted ceramic dripper made in Japan’s Gifu Prefecture using traditional Mino-yaki techniques.

Whether you’re brewing at home, on bar, or in the wild, Kalita’s tools are built to elevate the ritual—and the result—every single time.
