The Mid

Orea O1 Orea by Orea

OREA positions The Mid between its Wide and Dara approaches for the O1, pairing Flat Paper and the Negotiator with a medium grind and cooler water. Its split circular and center pours favor rounded sweetness and restrained acidity.

OREA Negotiator Required

A moulding tool that seats a flat paper filter tightly against the walls of OREA's narrow flat-bottom brewers (V2, V3, V4 Narrow, O1, and the glass/porcelain models), so the paper hugs the walls and forms a low-bypass bed — forcing water through the coffee instead of around it, for higher and more consistent extraction. You press it in to shape the paper, then pull it out before drawdown; it does not restrict flow. Pair with OREA flat paper.

Notes

Seat the Flat Paper fully with the Negotiator so no folds create bypass. After blooming, use circular pouring to engage the whole bed, then center the stream to limit late agitation and preserve the round profile.
