Fine For Two
by Orea for Orea V4 Narrow original source (orea.uk)
The OREA V4 guide adapts its Fine method into a two-cup recipe for the Narrow brewer, combining the Fast Bottom with a Sibarist Fast Flat filter. A bloom followed by one prolonged pour targets a bright, clean larger batch without excess weight.
Before you start
You need
- Orea V4 Narrow
- Sibarist WAVE (FAST / B3) Sibarist FAST keeps flow high through the narrow basket's deeper bed, preventing stalls when brewing a finer grind for two. Or use April Flat Bottom Paper · Fellow Stagg [XF] · Kalita Wave 185 · OREA Wave (185)
- Base: Fast
- Scale
- Water at 90 °C (194 °F)
Notes from Orea
Pour at roughly 3g/s after the bloom and keep the stream steady across the bed. If drawdown stretches or bitterness appears, coarsen slightly; preserve the slow flow rather than pouring harder.

It should finish dripping around 4:30. If not, change just one thing in the next cup:
- Past 5:20? Grind coarser

- Bitter or dry? Coarser, or cooler water
- Sour and thin? Grind finer
