OREA #2 & #4 Regulator 2-Pack

FLOW REGULATION We are known for making the fastest brewers out there (within reason). The OREA V2 started a trend for “fast-flowing brewers”, continued by the V3 and the V4 FAST. With this release, we don’t look just at SPEED, rather we look at CONTROL. The regulators use the same design as our beloved V4 FAST base, with even contact points across the bed of the brewer and plenty of space for air and water to flow to ensure the brew never chokes/clogs/stalls. The difference from our V4 FAST is that each regulator has an intentional set max output flow rate – to let you control the contact time predictably. WHY WE MADE THIS Coffee should be fun – brewing should be for the curious. We love to tinker and experiment because coffee changes constantly. Every coffee is different. Due to where it’s grown, the processing method, and how it’s roasted – coffee can behave so differently when brewed. If our V4 explored flow patterns, this project explores flow regulation. In the past few years a few (almost opposing) trends have accelerated: 1. The ultra-processed coffees (think “advanced process”, “thermal shock”, “co-fermented”, etc) which tend to be incredibly soluble and easy to extract 2. The ultra-light roast movement often favours ultra-clean traditionally processed coffees that tend to be a lot less soluble and honestly very tricky to extract 3. The refinement of more developed roasts as ex-champions adapt and evolve the darker roasts into something more clean and sweet Ah, coffee used to be so simple. Alas – with these changes come new challenges. With this project, we wanted to make affordable extensions to our beloved O1/O2 series brewers to address some of these changes.
