I'm following the best early Prime Day deals to find out which sales are worth your money. As Tom's Guide's resident coffee nerd, I'm always on the lookout for a cheaper caffeine fix. Coffee can very quickly become an expensive hobby.
The Kalita Wave is my number one best pour-over coffee maker. It's perfect for beginners and really difficult to mess up. I'd recommend this over the iconic Hario V60 as it's much easier to master.
Currently, it's $34, down from $44. That's a saving of 21%! Given that Kalita hardly ever has sales, this is an exceptional price.
I gave the Kalita Wave a 4-star rating in my review, and one of the cons was that it's a little too pricey. However, with this discount, that issue is irrelevant. If its MSRP was $34? Maybe I'd even bump it up to 4.5 stars.
I have all the pour-over coffee makers: Hario V60, Kalita Wave, Chemex, Yeti Pour-over, and even the pour-over adjacent AeroPress. But the one that reigns supreme? The Kalita Wave.
For beginners, this is one of the best options for the money. As I mentioned earlier, the dripper is easier to use than alternatives, making it ideal for more inexperienced baristas. That doesn't mean it's only for beginners — I'm not a beginner by any means.
The iconic frilly filters look like something out of a Victorian period drama, but the dripper is actually patented, so you won't get this design anywhere else. The filters are about $16 for 100 on Amazon, but you can get them cheaper if you dig around.
If I could only have one pour-over dripper, which one would it be? I'd choose the Kalita Wave. It's just so easy to use. When I'm bleary-eyed and sleepy before I've had my morning coffee, I don't want to mess around with anything trickier to use.
