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.

Brewing Best Practices
Coffee-to-Water Ratio: To achieve the Golden Cup Standard, the recommended coffee-to-water ratio is 55 g/L ± 10%.
Coffee Preparation Temperature: To achieve the Golden Cup Standard, water temperature, at the point of contact with coffee, is recommended to fall between 200°F ± 5° (93.0°C ± 3°).
Elements & Device
Measurable elements:
Water: valid when brewing water meets SCA water quality standardRatio of Coffee-to-Water (55 g/L ± 10%)Grind/particle size distribution: matches the time of coffee-to-water contact
Equipment/brewing device:
Time of Coffee-to-water Contact: 1-4 minutes Fine, 4-6 minutes Drip, 6-8 minutes CoarseTemperature: 200°F ± 5° (93.0°C ± 3°)Turbulence (mixing action of water flowing through & around the coffee particles to achieve a uniform extraction of soluble material)
