Kalita does make the next bigger size. And similar shaped ceramic drippers can also be found under brand names like Beehouse, Bonmac, and Tiamo among others. With varying number of drainage holes, but sharing the same cone shaped design. I may get a larger size in a different color, but that would mean using my other brewing gear less often.
I cannot say whether having 1 or 2 or 3 holes is better or worse with these cone shaped drippers. But I might think having 2 or 3 holes will help with the larger batch sizes as the weight of the coffee and water compresses everything down more.
In general the cure for a slow pour is to grind the coffee more coarsely. If using pre-ground coffee meant for auto-drip then one may just have to brew less each time if the pour is too slow and becoming over-extracted.

Got some nice cups from intelligentsia coffee the other day.
Are those their Black Cat cups? I just got a couple of those, cappuccino size, about a month ago and have used them nearly every day since then. Love em!
Sure are, I used my Vivace café ones for a long time but these are perfect and pouring latte art in these are a easy.
Just made a jump and going to try doing some pour over just ordered from Blue bottle coffee.

They don't say how many holes are in the dripper. Do you know?
Didn't look into that, sorry. I'll shoot them an email and ask if you'd like.
Doesn't really matter. The true Melitta clones are 1 hole like the Melitta but some have 2 others 3 holes. I have a Bee House which is 3 hole. Also have a Melitta #2, #3 AND a whopper #6 which you rarely see any more as it makes an enormousness pot of coffee. All of the Melitta brand dripperes (that I have anyway) are 1 hole.
About the only thing that would make the 1, 2, or 3 hole Melitta style drippers different would be the flow rate which equates to the grind you need to use.
Once you get it then you will know how to grind for it. No point bothering them. Ceramic Melitta clones are nice and there are some who prefer them to every other brew method. I like the Bee House but I think I like the smoothness that comes through the Chemex (I am sure this is mostly because of the filters they make for it). In fact I am having my first after dinner coffee made with my larger (6 cup) Chemex brewer using Mexican Chiapas which is some of the best coffee I have ever tasted. I MUST get back to the roasting house to get more of the green batch he has. It is amazing.
Got my goodies from Blue bottle coffee. 
Nice haul!

That kettle looks pretty cool! I like how the handle is positioned to be out of the way of rising steam. Not like the doggone Hario kettle I have.

I just got email and was told one hole.

I could be wrong but I think it's a Bonmac. I had one but dropped it. Replaced it with a Bonmac. In my mind at least they're the same
I used my BeeHouse today and I was wrong.
It is a 2 hole Melitta clone not a 3 hole as I stated earlier.
Need to clear this up as I would not want someone to purchase one based on some erroneous statement I made without checking first (my bad)

Got a Bodum travel press for work, and an Oolong and White tea, all from a place called World Market. This is my entry to loose leaf. The press was $20 and the teas $10 each. Yeah, I could have gotten cheaper online, but was out with the wife and thought "what the heck?"

Is that the Breville infuser model?
let us know what you think of the Chemex. Maybe I'll start a thread about Chemex brewers so everyone can comment and add their tips and tricks that they use so others can get more out of their brewers
