The Pulse Five Cup

Orea Big Boy Orea by Orea

Designed by Orea for the Big Boy's largest group batch, Pulse Five divides the brew into five even spiral pours. The repeated pulses manage the deep, wide coffee bed and seek consistent extraction, full flavor, and clarity across five cups.

Notes

Use Big Boy Wave papers and start near 28-32 click on a Comandante. Pour each pulse at roughly 250g with the same spiral pattern; lingering water or astringency signals that the grind is too fine.
