Details

This unique and beautifully designed pour-over device offers a filtration system unlike any other. Coarsely ground coffee is suspended over two porcelain grids, arranged one on top of the other, and neither paper, cloth, or metal are part of the equation. Everything is built right in, allowing for one of the most pure and simple brewing methods out there. Resting on the top chamber, a punctured bowl serves as a water dispersion head, encouraging even extraction. Conveniently, the entire apparatus can be separated for pouring. Any user, amateur or professional, will be delighted by the ease with which coffee is made through Walküre’s Karlsbad brewer. For a more modern style, see the Walkure Bayreuth.

Features:

  • 3 practical capacities: 280mL (9.47oz), 380mL (12.85oz), 850mL (28.75oz); add to cart to choose
  • Quality build: constructed entirely of porcelain; handmade in Germany
  • Easy to use: recommended for beginners or professionals
  • Self-contained brewer: requires no extra accessories
  • Timeless design: in use for decades

Includes: server, brew chamber with built-in filter, water dispersion plate, and lid.

Favorite Coffee Brewer

Immediately became my favorite Brewer. Coffee comes out excellent. Great conversation piece. Not too difficult to clean. However, it's definitely something you do not want to break. Must handle with care. I recommend the largest one. Have fun!:)

Learning the technique for great coffee

Walkure Carlsbad makes a very clean cup of coffee! It took a little practice because the manual was vague. However, with a little Patients the results were a fantastic cup of coffee! I,bought the 1 cup small one. And here‰Ûªs the coffee to water ratio that gave me the best results...11grams of medium course grind to 207 grams of water. I really like this coffee maker.

Easy to use and beautiful

The Walkure is a really fun way to make delicious coffee. I use a grind a little finer than for Chemex. The brewing instructions on the Prima site are easy to follow. Using a scale with a timer makes the process very simple (I don't even need to peek). The brew is tasty and has only a bit of sediment at the bottom. Really am enjoying my new Walkure.

Fantastic coffee

Ok, I'll start with the possible downside: it is a bit finicky out the gate. Dialing in the right grind size (and it had to be pretty specific) and when to add water took a bit of tinkering, but within a few brews you can get just right. For the good: this coffee is excellent. Nice juicy mouthfeel of a frenchpress with the clean notes of a pour over. Definitely picking up some New flavors in my coffee that I don't when doing pour over and they are more subtle than with a French press. This is my new favorite coffee maker.

Beautiful and uniqe coffee maker

This coffee maker is great if you follow these steps Pre-heat everything very well and when brewing use a bit hotter water than you normally do as the water cools down when you pour it through the dispenser disk. I use the Baratza Maestro grinder and I typically use grind size between french press and Chemex and I get very little grounds/silt in the cup probably 3 -4 times less than a standard french press. This maker enhances the natural acidity in the coffee and I've had best results with darker roasted and natural processed coffees. Beautiful,unique and simple to use brewer with history that makes great coffee. Mmm now I want Sacher cake,Mozartkugel and coffee in the Karlsbad coffee maker 😊

Here's the easy way I make coffee in the WalkÌ_re.

The instructions say you must: ‰Û¢ thoroughly preheat the device with hot water ‰Û¢ use coarse grounds ‰Û¢ use water at 195-205 degrees ‰Û¢ undergo a "pre-infusion" ‰Û¢ aim for the center of the plate ‰Û¢ pour the rest of the water using a timer, over the course of 3 minutes and 30 secs. No. I'm not going through all that. I've made it according to instructions and I've also made it my own way. My way is MUCH faster and tastes just as good. Here's how I make it with my large WalkÌ_re: I don't preheat the WalkÌ_re. That makes no difference, in my opinion. 1. I use fine grounds. Yes, fine grounds. 2. I boil the water in a 3-cup Pyrex (heat proof cup-vessel) in the microwave. Use less water for a smaller WalkÌ_re. The temperature doesn't matter. Just boil the water in the time-honored fashion of boiling water. Same as our grandparents have boiled water. Same as all humans have ever boiled water. 3. Put two or three large tablespoons of grounds in the WalkÌ_re. 4. Pour the water over it. No, you don't have to stand by an egg timer and look out the window for 3.5 minutes. Just slowly pour the water until it fills up. 5. Now you can drink the coffee. But you must place the still-draining top portion in a heat-proof bowl, dish, etc., where it will drain for a moment. 6. Pour your coffee and put the top back onto the WalkÌ_re. If you have a lot of drained coffee in your bowl/dish, just pour it back into the WalkÌ_re. 7. Pour the remaining water into the WalkÌ_re when it has drained further. There. Just as fast as pour-through coffee and you get all the flavor of the WalkÌ_re. I can detect coffee purists trembling with rage or growing faint. Well, don't complain until you've tried it my way. It should be noted that coffee made in this manner (unfiltered coffee) will raise the cholesterol level in the bloodstream. Filtered coffee, on the other hand, has little or no effect on cholesterol. The degree to which unfiltered coffee raises cholesterol is less than the effect of smoking or lack of exercise. But coffee made in this manner WILL measurably raise your cholesterol. You can google it yourself.

Makes great coffee

This makes excellent coffee, and when pre-heated with a couple of rounds of hot water, even retains heat long enough to finish it. This should be on the main page of the site: Prima-Coffee recruited its shipping team from Ace Novelty Co. of Wallawallawashington! Confirm your order, hit send and there it is on your doorstep, just like when Wile E. Coyote hangs up his phone.

This is my third Karlsbad coffee maker in 40 years; it's the best!

I can't stand to be without it! It makes the best tasting coffee. I ordered the larger size this time so that I can more easily make a larger amount when my friends drop by so they can enjoy it, too. I hope I will be able to purchase this product for many years to come. Kay

What I was looking for

I like a dark, rich, oily cup of coffee, New Orleans style, almost an espresso. This gives me what I love first thing in the morning. NOTE: I first put the coffeemaker into a bain marie (a copper bowl filled with hot water) before I add the coffe grounds and water. I find it makes all the difference! (1 coffee measuring spoon to 6 oz. water.)

Great Coffee Maker!

For almost two years, I've used this coffee maker on a daily basis. It takes a some getting use to, but after a few pots of coffee, you won't want to brew any other way!

Great cup of coffee buuutttt......

The only reason that I give a 4 star review is because it does make a REALLY good cup of brew, really good. Now here's the but.....Based on my use case, it is more difficult to deal with than I would like. I wanted something easy to clean and have ready to go for the next day. I only drink one cup in the morning and my V60 fits that bill nicely but those darn filters seem to run out at the most inconvenient time. So, I figured I would give the Walkure a try. After using the V60 I toss the filter and pour the balance of the hot water over the porcelain and done, put it away til tomorrow. With the Walk not so much, it is a little bit of a pain in the you-know-what to clean by hand. I am a full grown male with full grown hands, this thing tries to jump out of my hands. That is the only real gripe I have but it is significant enough for me to deduct a star since I was trying to streamline the process. I have only used the Walk twice so hopefully I can refine the process and be five star happy in the near future. If you don't enjoy the process and the challenge of dialing it in then the Walk might not be for you. Thoughts on grind: I had to use a MUCH larger grind than the video lead me to believe. On my first attempt I was at 9 mins before I gave up and that was with the Whole Foods grinder on its coursest setting(I buy small amounts and use it in a few days). On the second try and after significantly increasing the grind size it was down to 5. I will continue to tinker until I get to about the 3:30 suggested.

Walkure Karlsbad

I‰Ûªm still learning how to handle the scale and all the coffee pot parts smoothly, but the coffee is already excellent. I worry about breaking something, but the coffee is better than what I make in the Aeropress. Excellent customer service, too.

More experiments needed...

A beautiful pot with elegant shape and color and unique filter-less feature. I tried several times but significant amount of fines make it through the porcelain mesh. I need more experiments to fine tune the grind size.

Must be made for those Turkish coffee "shots". I ordered the largest size and have to do it twice so both of us can have a cup. Probably won't use it much.

So elegant ‰Û_ so challenging

My W(v)alkÌ_re Karlsbad (SKU) drip coffee maker in white ceramic, mineature classic Austrian/German Coffee-pot design, visually wooed me into purchase! AND as a charming visual, it must remain. Yes! Why? Well, by the time the coffee drips thru, it's cold to pour into my cup. AND I drink my coffee black so no cream is cooling coffee as well. AND you can't see how full the pot is getting as you add water a couple of times. Heating the pot first with hot water AND heating the future cup is an answer. BUT you know how fast YOU want yr coffee of a morn. It's more a "toy" than a reality. The permanent filter works well. I wish I'd been smarter re its heat issue. I'd actually like to return it. As that's "verboten", It'll probably become an interesting vase. OR maybe a real "ValkÌ_re" will thunder her horse down from the Elysian Fields, burial grounds of war heroes, and take up my wee pot for a more "heavenly" venture - where coffee never cools off more than tongue desires.
