Dara For Two

Orea V4 Narrow Orea by Orea

OREA's V4 guide scales the Dara method for two cups, retaining the Open Bottom and four spiral pours. A slightly coarser grind accommodates the deeper bed, seeking the original recipe's sweetness and balance in a larger shared batch.

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

Widen each spiral enough to wet the larger bed uniformly, but keep the stream off the paper. Begin slightly coarser than the single-cup Dara; tighten only if drawdown is clean and the result lacks sweetness.
