*Paper filters are sold separately.
Kalita Wave 155 or 185,

is available.

Differences with the ceramic Kalita Wave dripper

One flat-bottom dripper with a similar structure to the April dripper is the Kalita Wave Dripper. The design of the Kalita dripper is said to not have enough space for air to circulate around the filter during the extraction process.

Also, although the dripper has small ribs on the bottom, they are not high enough to lift the filter and it sticks to the bottom, which can create a vacuum, which can extend the extraction time and cause over-extraction, resulting in negative flavors in your coffee.

With this in mind, the April dripper has a unique design that includes a filter holder and air pocket.

Development story

How can you make better coffee?

The way you brew good coffee depends on how the coffee is roasted. But most drippers were invented over a decade ago. With that in mind, April designed a dripper that could keep up with modern advances in coffee roasting.

It took us about three years to perfect the product, testing many different prototypes - we took that time to ensure we got something truly innovative and of the highest quality.

Final test of the dripper <br data-mce-fragment="1">As a final test, we entered a coffee set using the April dripper at the World Brewers Cup 2019 held in Boston in April 2019. At the competition, we won an impressive silver medal. We also received the highest score for coffee taste. We were convinced that product development was moving in the right direction.

Bringing the idea to life <br data-mce-fragment="1">To make the handmade prototype accessible to everyone, we collaborated with design company SERAX (a Belgium-based company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of high-end kitchen and household products).

The current April Pour-Over Brewing Kit has been completed by combining April's production know-how and coffee extraction skills with the skilled craftsmanship of SERAX, respecting the basic design concept down to the smallest detail.

Dripping every day has become fun!

I decided to buy it after watching April's Parik's YouTube! I really like it because it's easy to make delicious coffee without any complicated recipes.

The other day, I happened to have a chance to talk to a Kigu representative at an event, and I got to hear the story of how the maker made this dripper. It made me love this product even more!

Just follow the recommended recipe!

Just follow the April recommended recipes introduced in YouTube videos! The brewing method is perfected with a uniquely constructed flat bed dripper, so you can easily enjoy the refreshing sweetness and umami with high reproducibility and little blur. Also, perhaps due to the air pocket, the extraction time is faster than other flat types, so I felt that it brought out the individuality of the coffee beans without extracting negative flavors. Recommended for light roast and specialty coffee!

Stylish! Delicious! The best!

I was watching April's YouTube channel and her recipes were so unique that I was intrigued and decided to buy it.
I like flat bottoms and I also use FELLOW's staggX, but it seems to fall a little slower than that.
Personally, I get the impression that FELLOW is full of flavor, while April is very sweet.
Both are delicious, so I use either depending on my mood.
I love how cute it is and the cup that comes with it!

I love the flatbed!

I am a big fan of flat bottom drippers!
I have used almost all of the flat-bottom drippers available on the market.
My favorite among them all is this April Pour Over Brewing Kit!

A structure that makes the most of the positive characteristics of flat-bottom drippers!
The balance of sweetness and flavor, and the lingering aftertaste are amazing!

Whether you drink it alone or share it with someone,
What's great about this dripper is that you can brew consistently delicious coffee with just this one!

If you're a coffee lover, you should definitely try this...
This is a one of a kind dripper!

High replay value

I've used a few drippers in the past, but this one feels completely different.

The recommended recipe calls for pouring quite quickly, so I was worried that the flavor might become weak, but when I tried it,
Without any of that, it turned out to be a well-balanced coffee.

Because of the inclination of the dripper, a little bit of hot water accumulates.
Pour more boldly than usual and use a slightly coarser grind.

Although it's small, it's surprisingly convenient to be able to make three cups at once.

I want to try out different things.
