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.
