The Mid

Orea V3 Orea by Orea

Orea's V3 guide places The Mid between the airy Wide and foundational Base One. A medium grind, reduced brewing temperature, and negotiated Flat Paper combine for a rounder, less acidic cup that retains clarity and moderate body.

OREA Negotiator Required

A moulding tool that seats a flat paper filter tightly against the walls of OREA's narrow flat-bottom brewers (V2, V3, V4 Narrow, O1, and the glass/porcelain models), so the paper hugs the walls and forms a low-bypass bed — forcing water through the coffee instead of around it, for higher and more consistent extraction. You press it in to shape the paper, then pull it out before drawdown; it does not restrict flow. Pair with OREA flat paper.

Notes

Press the Flat Paper evenly with the Negotiator to avoid side channels. After the bloom, split coverage between circular and central pouring; use 92°C and fine-tune body with grind before changing agitation.
