Ceramic, single-serve 1-2 cup capacity, good heat retention. $35-50. Best single-serve Wave — ceramic provides clean flavor, no metallic taste. More fragile than stainless. Travel/office single-cup use or households where 1 cup at a time is standard.
The Wave 155 Ceramic is purpose-sized for one cup — the smaller flat bed and finer three-hole drainage are calibrated to 150–300 ml volumes where the 185 would produce a thin, under-extracted bed. Ceramic provides clean flavor with no metallic transfer, and heat retention is solid for a single serve. The trade-off is fragility — ceramic will break on a hard floor, and it's heavier than you'd expect for a single-cup brewer. For a dedicated single-cup morning ritual, the 155 ceramic produces the cleanest cup in this comparison.
Pros
- Optimized bed depth for 1-cup volumes — better extraction than 185 for single servings
- Ceramic delivers clean flavor with zero metallic notes
- Dense feel adds a satisfying tactile quality to the pour-over ritual
Cons
- Fragile — will shatter if dropped on a hard surface
