Orea V3 Review: Fast & Furious Pour Over Coffee!

[@JuliusSP1]

Would be a great idea to do a video focusing on how pour technique affects draw downs and extraction. Thanks

[@aramse]

🍾🎉 500 likes in well under 24 hours! You folks are amazing. So as promised we'll be composing a custom sound track for the next video, so we better get to work! THINGS WE MISSED: 1. The V3 Basalt competition version is NOT BPA-free and while it's still rated food-safe, this maybe a no no for a lot of you. If this bothers you then buy the regular V3 which is made of Trogamid which is BPA-free. 2. You can negotiate the Kalita filters and while it significantly reduces bypass the brews didn't taste as good as the flat filters and the draw downs are slower.

[@Nayr090]

LOLOLOL love the puns in the beginning 🤣 That aside, I have a Stagg XF so the fact that you did the comparison at the end was really insightful. I might have to check the Orea out, thanks for the video!

[@thebitterfig9903]

So other viewers, Orea going to give this video a Like?

[@osmosisazman]

I did it in the first 10 seconds.

[@unol]

I reccomended giving the Timemore B75 crystal eye a go. The flow rate is really fast and the brews are tasty. My best results come when i use it in combination with a cloth filter and a melodrip. Keep up the good work.

[@ediblemanager]

For the cloth filter what size did you go for?

[@michaelablank]

I currently have my brewers narrowed down to the Orea V3, Switch and Aeropress, depending on what I am feeling like that day. My Kalita, Stagg X, Origami and regular V60 sit on my shelf looking pretty anymore.

[@Aka-Chico]

I've had the Orea and for a couple months now. I'm primarily using the circle to center pour and my brews are tasting good. The negotiator trick was great! I bet you just made a bunch of people's lives easier. Also, I use the negotiator on the Kalita filters.

[@3mc33Rizox]

Bought it three months ago and I’ve used it less than 10 times. Its habit more than anything else, but I end up using the V60 or Kalita as allways. One of the things I like the most about the brewer (besides its sleek design) is the fact that I can use the Kalita papers, but when using them, I feel by pass is off the charts. On the other hand, buying the special papers with the negotiator and putting the papers in place every morning seems a hustle I prefer to avoid. No matter how many new brewers I buy, I all ways fall back to the good old Japanese OGs. Old habits die hard, I guess. Btw, @Aramse, every time I want a more thick drink, I use your Sofi72. Love it. Please provide us with more recipes.

[@PatrickD707]

I’ve had pretty good results using a kalita filter and my negotiator tool in my orea v3 185, minimizes bypass issues

[@swashofc]

Great review and tips, matches well with my experience of using this brewer for about a month. What I also found helpful with stalling was what Patrik Rolf mentioned in the April Coffee review of thid brewer. Namely, that the first pours draw down quicker than the later ones. His recipe of two 50g circle pours and one 100g center pour have been working great for me so far.

[@Ddiakova]

Bought the Black LE they came out with a few months back and I have been reaching for it time and time again. It’s truly the best flat-bottom for me, all my brews are supeerrr tasty, it’s easy to get the hang of and easy to maintain too. Love the sense cups but they are impossible to get a hold of 🥲 Would definitely love to see the video on pouring techniques and maybe a recipe you’ve been enjoying 🙌🏻

[@user-sb7qr4ht7u]

would def be into a pouring technique / options video! Theres a lot of art to that element, especially when temp or grind size arent giving you the results you want.

[@robertmullins9639]

Great video! I really like how thorough you guys are! I would love for you guys to do an entire video on this!

[@Eklektik190]

Thank for this! Just ordered the Large a week ago so this is perfectly timed!

[@80Entreri]

Yes please to a pour technique video 👌

[@Mokkatomic]

The Orea is worthy of a lot of respect. I hear you can 3d print the negotiator, so that's something. I have a Timemore B75 coming in the mail though, which was 15$ discounted, and it seems like it has a lot of overlap with this if you stick with kalita style filters

[@IMNOTABARISTA]

B75 is great, we love it. Did you order the ceramic version or the Tritan one?

[@Mokkatomic]

I'm also excited to try it. Seems like a good entry into flat bottom, and if I like it the Orea is still unique and interesting enough to add to the collection down the line, even if they are similar. I went with the Tritan, preheating is more of an issue for me than plastic

[@PhilPWaters]

Great video. I've been using the Orea for a while now and get some good brews but would like more consistency so a pouring technique deep dive video would be awesome. One definite way I found to stall the Orea was to negotiate when the filter is wet.

[@pablosanmartinvarela1773]

I for one would be interested in a pour technique video.

[@Sinisterg60]

Great vid! Have had it since it came out. I use the pulsar more often but still love this brewer.

[@Waldszenen]

I love your subtle humour in these videos. Great vid. The Orea looks interesting but I’m happy with my V60 and am too lazy to change.

[@Chungy96]

Good humour.

[@coffeenerdaaron]

Great video! I would love to hear more of your thoughts on recipes and pouring techniques so please make that video!

[@Ampelman123]

The video about how to vary your pouring technique based on your cups and how the brew ist going would be much appreciated! :)

[@EYYQCiHTfAGTV7O96y]

Would love a video dedicated to pouring structure and technique on the orea 👍 Orea gonna help us out with that?

[@danymeeuwissen5973]

I've had more stalling on the orea than with the Stagg X, I guess because of the design of the holes. I'm thinking about 3d printing a Stagg negotiator which leaves some space at the bottom and has some holes for easy saturation. Love this video a lot, great work!

[@lorynbortins]

100% would watch a video on pour over pour types please and thank you 🤓🙏🏻 Also can confirm the filter origami trick is a game changer.

[@suferick778]

I'm getting great results with my Orea using a cloth filter

[@danielcohn6884]

Neat! I've always wanted to try cloth after James Hoffman revealed his deep affection for them. Would you mind sharing what cloth filter you're using?

[@LivingTheLifeRetired]

I got my Orea a couple weeks ago. I’ve had lots of stalling with the flat filters but the wave filters work well with extraction yields around 20% producing a nice cup. Good video.

[@vincentfeugere4847]

Nice video. I brew with the Orea V3 (glass) for about 3 months now and I quite satisfied with it (using only kalita papers, I didn't buy the negociator). I had a few issues with stalling, but now I have a good balance and it's my favorite brewer . I'd love to watch a video from you with all the technics and detailed recipes from you. All the best to the whole team!

Best brewer on the market.

[@FSR2007]

Love orea content! I managed to come 2nd in my city's filter champs with just doing 34g to 500ml with a 80g bloom and one continuous pour! It's such a consistently good brewer, and has usurped my clever dripper as my go to. The design is sublime too, I've got the frosted clear one which is just gorgeous!

[@TheJamesMReid]

I was just wondering when we’d get the next Aramse video. I’m definitely down for a pouring technique video. Getting close to that custom music track!

[@mattgogo2937]

So thorough, I’ve had a v3 for 6 months, I do get stalling with round filters,a little less so with sibarist filters so I’ve done similar adjustments. Currently grinding with my old encore and I’m waiting on my timemore 078 so excited to taste the difference.

[@Bigbabafoodie]

Loved the way you explained… looking forward to the pouring technique for dummies video…🙌🏼😊

[@CodySeelye]

Excellent video as always!! I’ve been on the fence about getting an Orea and I’m pretty sold in it now. Comedic timing was absolutely brilliant in this video 😂😂. That brief and “sincere” pause after “AI takes away our jobs.” 😂😂😂

[@jdgordon194]

Nice review...would have loved to see you brew a cup.

[@tummy_fritters]

I had a dream last night that Aramse invented a new form of press brewer and made a fortune. I'm not a big believer in synchronicity--I'm no soothsayer either--but I would buy the Aramse-Press if it comes out ;)

[@DakomaOutdoors]

Flat bottom brewers make the rockin world go round.

[@helinhoramosmoraes]

Great video! I really enjoy to brew with Orea, but sometimes the stalled extractions are annoying me a lot. I didn’t get to make a try by using sibarist filters, since they are not available in Brazil. Btw, I’m gonna try the newer Orea version that’s gonna be released in soon. I keep betting that Orea will be the best flat bottomed brewer. Thanks!

[@bettercoffeequest]

A very fine video indeed! Thank you. However, I will stick to my Chemex as of now. Simple and delicious.

Great review. Think I’ll stick with my V60 as space is always a concern In my kitchen but I’d definitely enjoy this if I made multiple cups for different people everyday.

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

So Actually decided to try this but got the V4

[@melkermillton5030]

Lovely video as always!

[@khcstewie]

I’d definitely like to try this brewer in the future, but the flat filter + negotiator combo feels like a very crude and expensive alternative to a kalita type filter. I’m hoping that with this recent surge in popularity, the company will be able to afford a more custom paper filter for its brewer.

[@aramse]

The Kalita filters are essentially flat and round too but have been factory formed to make life easier. If adoption of these new flat filters increases then we could start to see pre-folded ones in the market.

[@vizzo7]

hey great video and we would like to see the brewing video with the orea. you can also use the normal melitta filters with the orea by the way.

[@SirKibblestein]

Would love to know when and how to pour my water!

[@portnaluinge]

[@nicolasfortin4216]

been using the V3 for a bit more than a year now with a no fuss simple brewing method and I have never choke the V3. brews are fast clean and easily repeatable. 👌

[@nicolasfortin4216]

oh and thx for the negociator tip! I never thought of "reversing" the filter. side note I never found taste differences having one side or the other in contact with coffee... 🤷

[@mrkrsl_]

I don't think calling out the £63 setup price is a 'nitpicky' criticism. An equally plastic V60 is £6 and 100 Cafec filters £10. And those make a fine brew.

[@shaheerrahman4278]

Please compare this to the timemore b75 flat bottom. Lots of people online say results r similar so maybe that could be a nice budget option

[@Bean15_]

When I brew on the Orea with Bangalore water, it's always a bit overextracted but I get surprisingly bright and clear results with Bisleri

[@Bean15_]

Also, I find that I get better results folding a v60 filter (I use the Cafec ones) for courser grinds and the Kalita filters for finer grinds. I'm getting the negotiator 3D printer and buying flat filters to see how those work out.

[@mccrispy]

I use my V3 with a custom cloth filter from The Cloth Filler Company (UK). I really like the brewer and the results it gives. (I have also tried the flat papers and the Sibarist papers, but I haven't tried "wave" as I'm more interested in using Orea for zero bypass) I'd certainly be interested in a discussion on the variables of pouring technique and the contribution they make to flavour and how they apply to different bean characteristics/styles (florals Vs chocolate/caramel)

[@bonnies7507]

I've got this brewer on my list of possibilities. Then I just ran across this one yesterday. Are you familiar with the Ceado Hoop Coffee Brewer ? Interesting design with no bypass. Maybe one for you to review ?! Thanks

[@aramse]

Yeah we’re trying to get a hold of that.

[@DemeterN]

Thanks for another great video. Is this worth getting if you already have a pulsar?

[@pavelgrebnev3868]

8:05 while Orea and Pulsar are not available in my country I ordered Brewista next wave duo, that is kinda a copy of Orea v3 but made of double wall glass, so there is a great heat retention and it's relatively inert. It seems, almost nobody knows about this brewer, so I thought it was worth mentioning)

[@dhruvgupta5047]

Great review! Will this fit properly with the large stagg carafe ?

[@davidpaul3821]

Please review the Orea V4.

[@Eirikkinserdal]

I would like it to be just anotch bigger. The width of kalita 185 with the holes and material of v3 would be nice for my 500ml brews 😅

[@MinimalUnbox]

What’s your go to recipe. And what grind size (c40 or ODE+SSP) do you use when using no bypass method?

[@aramse]

We've had great results with a bloom + 2 pour recipe when using negotiated filters. 15g dose, 50g bloom and wait 45 secs. Then 2 100g pours to get to 250g total. The timing of these pours and whether we're doing centre or circle pours depends on the coffee and how the brew is progressing. As a rough guide the last pour starts around the 1:20 - 1:35 mark depending on draw down.

[@MinimalUnbox]

@@aramse great, this is very similar to my recipe… this is my issue though. When I set around 18-20 on Comandante (ODE+SSP 4.0 when 1 is 5 click past chirp) , my cup tend to taste delicious but the draw down time takes too long - sometimes 5-6 min and the cup is not clear but muggy, when I increase the size to 26ish (ODE+SSP 6.0) draw dawn is reasonable but coffee taste under extracted and sour-ish. I use light roast…I do wet WDT for bloom. Flow rate from my stagg is 5-6ML/sec. Kettle height slightly below break up point for the bloom, and I lower the height to half for second and third pour

[@tomfalcon]

Does anyone know what the diameter of the filters is?

[@smithsmith7808]

@aramse what grind size do u use with 078 when brewing with oreo?

[@lukesp5721]

Great video! But did you know achieving a true "zero" bypass is not possible; there will always be some degree of bypass in any brewing process. Instead of fixating on on the latest fad of trying to eliminating bypass completely, it might be more beneficial to focus on reducing channeling. Zero bypass is just one little rabbit hole in the whole process, where as great water and coffee is a “game changer “. Nothing is cut and dry the truth is that sometimes adding a small amount of "bypass" water after brewing can enhance the floral notes of the coffee or other times, a well-agitated conical brew may be perfect and occasionally you might prefer a higher coffee-to-water ratio or less bypass. But a higher extraction definitely doesn’t make a better cup. If a higher extraction is the goal drink espresso. Embracing a "zero" bypass approach for every coffee would mean really missing out on lots potential from beautiful coffees.

Why not just use the negotiator on the kalita filters instead of the ones that cost 3x more?

Yup that works too but not of all filters are made equal. The Kalita ones are quite slow and tend to be more prone to stalling than the circular filters.

[@SJHaack]

How big a brew did you test? Sure the website says you can do 36 but their recipes don't go above 18g. Can it actually make a 30g pourover without splitting it into 9 micropours?

I’ve managed to brew 24g with the small one with a 6 pour recipe. So 36g sounds possible with the big one with a similar recipe. But don’t expect to be able to use 3-4 pour for such big dose.
