Wave-shaped pleated paper filters for Wave 185. ~$10-15 per 100 count. Required — not interchangeable with other drippers. Stock up. Creates air gap between filter and dripper walls, enabling even extraction.
Kalita Wave filters are not optional — the wave-shaped pleated design creates the air gap between filter and dripper that makes consistent extraction possible. Standard flat filters will not fit or replicate this function. At $10–15 per 100 count, the cost is modest, but the Wave 185 and Wave 155 filters are not interchangeable, so buying the correct size matters. Stock enough to avoid running out mid-week; specialty coffee retailers carry them but coverage is thinner than V60 or Chemex filters.
Pros
- Wave-shaped pleats create air gap essential for even extraction
- 100-count boxes represent modest per-filter cost
- Consistent paper quality and availability on Amazon
Cons
- Not interchangeable with Wave 155 filters or any other dripper — must buy the correct size
