OREA V3 - My Pour Over Daily Driver

When I'm brewing coffee that isn't espresso I find myself reaching for the Orea V3. In terms of pour over drippers it looks very simple, but its ability to make a quality cup of coffee easily, quickly, and consistently is second to none. So in this video I get into the details that make this brewer top notch and my favorite recipe.

I have a v3 as well and love it... I have tried most other brewers and keep coming back to the Orea v3. It produces a fantastic cup of coffee.

[JoshWBright]

I had a pre ordered V2 and now a V3 I have absolutely loved both. Horia puts up with my ridiculous questions and chat whilst producing an amazing brewer.

[adamchuck]

Finally, a brew method mentioning microns... a measurement everyone can apply to whatever grinder they're using!

[DominicHong]

I am using a V3 as my daily driver for filter coffee nowadays. Agree with the points raised such as easy to use, stability and repeatability.
The coffee brewed are always tasty and consistent.
One of the drippers I really keep on going back to use.

I think it's important to note that the 3 pour recipe is a pretty common recipe that seems to have found a convergent evolution across multiple cultures of brewing. I see Vibrant's v60 recipe as the same, and many baristas in Asia also use it in their day to day. Personally, I believe that the Orea v3 will have an impact, but the 3 pour recipe has a much larger effect on the final result.

So many tasty cups have been brewed because of this recipe. Thank you, since purchasing this brewer it has become my favorite. I have found that Onyx has a standard V60 that can be applied to this brewer and is pretty consistent.

I was such a dedicated pour over enthusiast for so long. Then a real job and the rush associated with the morning hustle to get out the door. In comes the OXO 8 Cup SCA brewer, brews me a pot of extremely delicious coffee while I get ready, pour it into a 60 ounce travel mug and I have my coffee for the morning. Pour overs are now a weekend thing. I'll have to give the V3 a try for my weekend pours.

Nice video, thanks for your efforts!
Orea v3 is also my newest dripper purchase and easily became my favorite in my collection (V60, Kono, Stagg ...).
Even get better and more consistent results with Orea's 3D printed negotiator and flat filter paper (steam ironed wave 185 filter, yeah I know but couldn't get my hands on other lab style circled filter paper).
Absolutely a winner in my books and highly recommended.

The Orea V3 has quickly turned into my daily dripper. It's a pleasure to use.

My recipe:

Medium-Coarse grind.

20g of coffee to 360g of water. 1 to 18 ratio.

60g first pour. Bloom for 40 seconds.

Second pour 100g. Swirl. Draw down completely.

Third pour 100g. Swirl. Draw down completely.

Fourth pour 100g. No swirl.

Makes a beautiful aromatic brew with plenty of body as well. Loving this Brewer lately.

Exactly what I'm looking for. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

I've been brewing on my V60 using the 40:60 method; 22 grams of coffee for 300 grams of water, a-bit-finer-than-french-press grind. 1st and 2nd pour is 60 grams, then 180 grams as the third and last pour, it results in great coffee in about 3 minutes.

[GabrielGGabGattringer]

I love and daily use my V3 (I own size 155 and 185) daily since it arrived in mid august (yeah, it took 8 months from preorder to my doorstep).
I usually use 12:200 g with 50g bloom & 3x50g pours. Watertemp off boil. On the V3 185 i use up to 15:250g or 17:320g.
Compared to the aluminium V2 Mk 1 the V3 has such a great thermal stability!

[sequoiaanderson]

I have a v2 that fits perfectly inside of my travel kettle, along with a micro gas stove and a tiny drug dealer scale with a retractable screen. best road setup ever. I've had some of my favorite cups of coffe at rest stops and campgrounds across the American west.

[Psychoh]

love this more face to face relaxing type of video. Especially on the weekend ! Thanks for the recipe

[MrKent]

Glad I saw this video! I was just about to pull the trigger on a second conical dripper but this swayed me to the Orea. Thanks!

[coffeenerdaaron]

The V3 is my most used brewer as well! I mostly brew pretty light roasted stuff so I find myself brewing hotter like 208°-212° and this little guy does fantastically. I was planning on making a video about it for my channel too 😊

[whosgonnadotcom]

"a damned fine cup of coffee". You go agent Cooper!

[haziqshams]

1;20 ratio with the negotiator strikes the perfect balance between sustainability (less coffee bean, more liquid coffee) and taste (heavy bodied with just enough clarity and sweetness)

[tedchiles]

Tried your recipe this morning. Well done. Good cup.

[vansteel]

I’ve been using my V3 for several months now, and always seem to make a great cup. I do enjoy using the negotiator on occasion, but Kalita 185s are also my go-to filter. Either way, I can’t seem to make a bad cup of coffee even if I wanted to.
