The Ray

Orea Z1 Orea by Orea

OREA's brew guide credits The Ray to Melodrip creator Ray Murakawa. Rather than rigid timing, it uses the bed's appearance to pace slow pours over a finer grind, pursuing maximum clarity, precise flavor separation, and a light body.

Notes

Watch the water level and bed response instead of forcing clock targets. Keep pours slow and deliberate, then wait for visible drainage before continuing. Coarsen slightly if the fine grind causes stalling.
