Easy Does It
by Orea for Orea V4 Narrow original source (orea.uk)
Orea's own starter guide for the V4 Narrow pairs the Fast Bottom with Flat Paper shaped by the Negotiator. Five circular pours build an approachable, sweet, body-forward cup that asks almost nothing of your technique.
Before you start
You need
- Orea V4 Narrow
- OREA Negotiator OREA Neo Negotiator
- Scale
- Water at 94 °C (201 °F)
Prepare
- Shape and seat the flat filter against the brewer walls with the fitting tool.
Notes from Orea
Use the Fast Bottom and press the Flat Paper evenly against the brewer with the Negotiator. Grind a touch coarser than your usual V60 setting; the coarse bed and repeated circles keep the technique forgiving.
