Notes

The Orea Big Boy is the largest dripper in the Orea lineup. Its wider base and deeper bed accommodate larger doses. Six pulse pours maintain consistent water level in the deeper bed. Use Orea Big Boy filters for optimal flow. Slightly coarser grind than smaller Oreas to prevent over-extraction.
