Kalita Wave with Thabo Moerane
Words and Images By Ayanda Dlamini
Today’s brewing recipe is brought to you by Thabo Moerane. Thabo is known for his charismatic nature, his well developed knowledge of coffee and the industry, as well as being Bean There Coffee Company’s Head Barista. His 13 years in the industry has shaped him into an individual packed with coffee knowledge and wisdom. I’m pleased to share the brewing recipe of Thabo’s recent favorite way of drinking coffee, the Kalita Wave Pour Over.
“I love the Kalita because it’s consistent and easy to use. It is a brewing method that produces complex and rich flavoured coffee. This is because of its unique design, the dripper is flat at the bottom and it has 3 holes that restricts the water flow. This design makes the coffee brew more consistently. Another thing is, unlike other types of pour-over filter papers. Kalita filter paper doesn’t have to be rinsed with water before using it. If you do, you’ll be damaging the wave design on the filter”.
