See title. The Oxo glass pour over set is not bad, but the glass dripper is very thin, and of course was broken pretty quickly. The Wave glass fits in the Oxo collar pretty much perfectly, and is a better fit for the Wave 185 filters. Problem solved!
I love it! It makes a nice strong cup of coffee and I particularly appreciated how fast the carafe was mailed to me. I'd tried to purchase off of Amazon but never got it ... was told by the seller he'd had to order from Japan and it was stuck in customs. Amazon refunded me so I found it for sale here. Great deal!
Love the glass bowl, the small size and great filters. Wish I had gotten the larger version to start.
I bought it because my favorite maganize recommended it. I love using it. It is pretty and easy to wash and maintain. The most important thing is to make a pretty good coffee. I am thinking of purchasing a larger version.

Will the Kalita Wave 185 Glass Dripper fit/sit atop a Hario V2 Glass Server? I'd like to use this combination for my pour over. Thanks!
I don't have any experience with a Hario. Min dtripper is he small size and fits great over a mug, 10oz mug. Love the pour over.
I am not certain, but it looks like it would. It fits really nicely on the Kalita 4 cup carafe.
Hi, I have kalita glass server so I not sure .They both look the same but not sure if they fit. SCG can't check it out for you?Sorry
Yup!
Yes that is the setup I use every morning with the Breville digital scale and it works great.
I went ahead and got the Kalita 185, and it fits perfectly (with a little wiggle room) atop a Hario V60 Glass Server.
which would ypu recommend the Glass, metal or Resin dripper and why?
I own the glass so I don't know for sure about the others, but I would assume the glass is a little less likely to taint the flavor of the coffee. That's why I bought it.
Hi. I have the 155 in both metal and glass. I got the glass first and then the metal, and I prefer the metal. The filters fit a little more easily, meaning you don't have to be as OCD about storing them and pouring in water - but it's a pain regardless. The metal also doesn't draw off as much heat (lower heat capacity), which I view as a plus. It means less preheating and a more stable temperature. Flow is also slightly slower through the metal due to slower holes. And it doesn't risk breakage. Really, the only plus of the glass is if you prefer its aesthetic or being able to look at your coffee, but those factors don't bother me.All that considered, the Wave is an incredible brew device, and it's easily my favorite.
I have the glass and metal drippers. I prefer the metal as it is one piece and it's sturdier where the glass one has a plastic bottom which detaches and has to be handled more carefully since it's glass.
I'd recommend the metal because I broke two glass drippers. Fragile.
glass, in my opinion, is the most versatile. it doesn't stain, impart flavor or absorb as much heat as metal. resin doesn't have the insulative value like glass so the heat from you water dissipates quickly. the downside to glass is that it will eventually break (fall on the floor, tip over your cup, etc.) so purchase a second one for backup...i also have the resin Hario dripper and it definitely stains. it's my go to travel dripper for car camping and general travel. it has developed microcracks from the dishwasher and definitely stains. i also have the snow peak metal dripper which uses the Hario filters that i bring when ultra light hiking/camping when space is an issue. again, the metal absorbs the acidity and will impart off flavors in your cup. when camping, and roughing it, i find that trade-off acceptable.as i mentioned, the metal kalita dripper will react with the acidity of the coffee and impart off flavors. it will also absorb plenty of that precious heat from your water which is necessary for your grind to properly brew.
I bought both the glass and metal dripper. The metal one has three additional 'bars' to direct the coffee into the holes. It also has additional waves. So they are different, but I've had good results with both. I accidentally dropped my glass Kalita on the kitchen floor and it shattered. Metal version is more durable. The metal one was the first I saw in use and I'm pretty happy with it.
