Orea Big Boy Orea by Orea

Orea's official Big Boy recipe uses six pulse pours to manage the brewer's wider base, deeper bed, and larger dose. Intended for two to three cups, it targets uniform extraction and a clean, balanced batch without sacrificing body at higher volume.

Notes

Fit Big Boy filters carefully and grind slightly coarser than for smaller Orea brewers. Keep pulse height and water level consistent through the deep bed; if late pours drain slowly, coarsen the grind instead of pouring harder.
