The 155 definitely is much smaller than the 185, but I'd say it's just small enough where you're not sacrificing any brewing quality for portability!! Both are sturdy, stylish, well designed and make an amazing cup of coffee!!! The kalita 155 is great for throwing inside bag for camping/travelling, or even using a caribiner to clip onto the outside of your bag!

I really love my stainless steel Kalita Wave. It’s everything I was hoping it would be. Easy to clean, light weight and makes a beautiful cup of coffee. Getting rid of my Keurig and all that plastic it is made of. I also ordered the white filters that go with this and they arrived in perfect shape and work great. I am going to order another one for a back up and for travel in case they stop making these in a few years. This is perfect for me. Just the right size. I am the only coffee drinker in my house.

It is just what I wanted in a quick pour over device. The shiny aesthetic kicks it up an extra notch. Thanks, Kalita!

Very easy to make a fantastic cup of coffee with this pour over! Highly recommend it! The only downside is that the filters have to be ordered or use something that may or may not work well!

Really like it! Works well.

This thing works really well, the only thing I don't love about it is the price but I was tired of using a plastic pour over as a person who drinks so much freaking coffee. I would recommend this device to anybody looking for a nice quality piece that looks nice in the kitchen.

It's a good dripper, but it definitely doesn't brew as much coffee as the description says. Try searching for "Kalita Wave 155 recipes" and you'll see that this dripper is best used with 12-20g grounds, yielding smaller cups of brewed coffee (6.4oz to 10.7oz).To test this, I put 23g of grounds in mine today, to see if I could get ~12oz of coffee out of it. But the filters are so small that there isn't much room for water. It was close to overflowing and ended up brewing too long because I had to pour the water ~10g at a time to prevent overflowing.Yesterday I used it with 12g grounds, which made a delicious 6.4oz cup of coffee. But I bought this thinking I could make a 12oz cup.

Love it! It's a real beauty, too. Was surprised at it's size, but have been adapting our #2 filters until we run out, then will buy #1s. Feels so much safer than pouring hot water through plastic!!! And that's why we moved to stainless steel!

Love my Kalita Stainless Steel Dripper for making pour overs. I originally bought it to use when traveling because I dislike hotel coffee, but now I use it to make my daily cup of joe. The coffee is so bold making it this way. I bought the coffee filters that go with it in the correct size, but I switched to unbleached coffee filters. I bought the 8-12 cup size. I pre-wet my filter and use enough coffee grounds to make 16oz, so the larger size works perfect. It takes me about 10 mins in the morning to heat water and complete the pour over process, but it's well worth it.

So much better compared to the plastic filter we were previously using. Wow! Get it, you won?t regret it.

My "Hi-O-Silver" Drip Coffee Maker! Being very human, I've busted a number of those porcelain drip model coffee makers before finding this stainless-steel beauty. One would have to mess-up 'Big Time' to begin to really hurt this one. Check out the Kalita drip maker reviews and if you travel a bit, consider whether having a nearly indestructible model is worth avoiding breaking your lesser drip maker and/or having to get by using that motel coffee maker?By the way, there's NO 'metallic taste' whatsoever, despite what one reviewer mentioned, just imagine all the cooks who use stainless steel pots & pans enduring metallic tasting meals...

Terrific. I had a glass version which broke. This is more durable, and the coffee tastes better!

Fantastic flat bed pour over. It was a learning curve coming from a hario v60 but I eventually got the technique down with time. Glad I got the metal one and not glass or ceramic

Makes a great cup of coffee! It?s small size makes it perfect for travel, as well. Very happy with this product!

I love it, and I love the way it looks with the matching kettle. :) 185 was definitely the right choice.

Works great. Feels high quality. Looks pretty. Easy to use. Doesn't take too long. Cleans easily.Very happy with service from Seattle Coffee Gear as well.

A solidly-constructed dripper. (I decided to invest in stainless steel so that it won’t break if dropped.) Almost foolproof, consistently delicious coffee. Beautiful design.

Makes a mean cup of coffee, however is not quite as good as the Hario or the Chemex in my opinion. It seems rather forgiving, and could be a good option for someone looking to get into the pour over game. I was on the edge w/ 4 vs 5 stars - what tipped me over is that it is the “cutest” pour over we have. The little wavy filters make your pour over look like a lil bitty cupcake :)

Excellent product. It is as described and expected.

Love it! Super light and easy to use.

Easy and convenient to use, and makes great coffee! My husband and I like very different types and strengths of coffee, and we both actually agree that this gizmo makes an excellent cup, as we can control strength of the brew per cup. We initially got it only for travel, but now are using it every day at home cause it's so easy and consistent!

Looks great, works great. Works better for smaller amounts, it would be pushing it to brew much more than 500ml through here. Recommended.

Works good. A bit small but the larger one was not available.Meets my usual need of making one cup and it won’t break when I drop it like my old glass one!

Perfect size for a single cup.

Great to have a stainless steel dripper, hard to find.

perfect condition! nice little plaid box, no instructions but thats what the internet is for!

I have an espresso machine but still like to do pour over. Knew that I did not want ceramic (drop and break, chip, its early in the morning what can I say) so went with the Kalita (185 size), you cannot go wrong with stainless steel! It’s just the right size to make 16 oz cup (most medium travel size insulated mugs) just pre-heat and wet filter with some of your hot water, dump in your ground coffee, you will need to figure out what grind works best for your taste (currently what works for me is 25-28 grams of coffee to 390 grams of water but thats just me) have dropped it a couple of times run it thru the dishwasher (top rack) and it has survived.

Love this pour over. I think the flat bottom design is a must. Once you get the coffee to water ratio down you will experience coffee as it is meant to be!

#Obsessed. I am not a pro, just a simple Saturday and Sunday morning coffee girl & this pour-over set has completely changed the game. All of a sudden I’m being asked where I buy my coffee when I share some with friends, but ain’t nothin changed but the drip(per)!
