Is Kalita Wave better than V60?
How Do They Compare? Both are pour-over methods, and we find the Kalita Wave a more forgiving vehicle for early-morning brew. But if you have a truly special coffee, the V60 is our go-to to extract the ultimate flavor profile. They both produce excellent results when paired with the proper coffee. The best pour over coffee maker for beginners is either the Hario V60 or the Kalita Wave. Both make fantastic coffee, but the Kalita Wave is easier while the Hario V60 is faster. Your main consideration should be whether you want to invest in a scale and a gooseneck kettle.
