The Base

Orea Big Boy Orea by Orea

The Base comes from Orea's Big Boy guide as the brewer's uncomplicated starting recipe. Three spiral pours, including a larger middle addition, produce enough coffee for two cups while targeting sweetness, clarity, and an approachable body.

Notes

Use Big Boy Wave papers and keep each spiral evenly distributed across the wide bed. Start near 24-28 click on a Comandante; the larger middle pour supplies most of the agitation, so make the final addition gentler if the finish turns dry.
