V4 Narrow Single Pour
by Orea for Orea V4 Narrow original source (ofrfrst.com)
Sourced from OFRFRST's OREA V4 guide, this Narrow method relies on a single pour and the brewer's naturally restricted outlet. The self-regulated drawdown is meant to simplify technique while producing a clean, balanced cup with steady extraction.
Before you start
You need
- Orea V4 Narrow
- Scale
- Water at 93 °C (199 °F)
Notes from Orea
Hold a constant kettle height and flow so the water level rises smoothly without flooding the filter edge. Adjust grind to control total contact time; do not compensate for a slow drawdown by accelerating mid-pour.

- Sour and thin? Grind finer
