The Hangover
by Orea for Orea V4 Narrow original source (orea.uk)
Published in OREA's V4 guide, the Hangover is a two-cup Narrow batch using the Fast Bottom, Wave paper, and five circular pours. Cooler water offsets the larger bed, aiming for generous volume with balanced extraction and restrained bitterness.
Before you start
You need
- Orea V4 Narrow
- Base: Fast
- Scale
- Water at 90 °C (194 °F)
Notes from Orea
Keep all five circles low and uniform, allowing the slurry to settle between pulses. Use 90°C (194°F) rather than grind alone to restrain bitterness; coarsen only when the larger bed drains too slowly.
