Orea V4

Method

For the Orea V4, use 15 g medium-coarse coffee in an Orea filter. Rinse and preheat, add the grounds, and shake flat. Start with a 50 g bloom, give a gentle swirl, and wait 45 s. At 0:45, pulse to 150 g (steady, center-weighted), then at 1:15 pulse to 250 g, keeping the bed glossy—never dry. Aim to finish in 2:15–2:45, then swirl and serve. If it runs fast or tastes sour, go a bit finer; if slow or bitter, go coarser; if the cup tastes flat, raise water temp +1–2°F.

Steps

1. Rinse filter, preheat, and add 15 g; shake flat.
2. 0:00 Bloom 50 g; gentle swirl; wait 45 s.
3. 0:45 Pulse to 150 g (center-weighted, steady).
4. 1:15 Pulse to 250 g—keep the bed glossy (never dry).
5. Drawdown ~2:15–2:45. Swirl and serve.

Fix it: Too fast/sour → slightly finer. Bitter/slow → coarser. Flat → +1–2°F.
