OREA BREWER O1®, AKA BABY O → a compact unibody flat bottom brewer designed for achieving the perfect single cup brew. Consistent, fast, packable and versatile.
Another brewer? Really? YES. Because many have asked us for this and we'll tell you exactly why. We stopped making small/compact/155 size brewers a few years ago. We wanted to focus on one size to make things easy for us, from a paper, guidance, and supply chain perspective. Bigger brewers are versatile, but small brewers excel in two main areas that many people care about:
A lot of our customers brew just single doses (10-18g) and want a format of brewer that fits that range better. A smaller device will allow the brewer to get closer to the bed of coffee with the kettle spout, giving more control on application of water and control of agitation. It also has less material and thus will take away less heat over the brew from the coffee slurry.
A smaller brewer is a lot easier to pack, on the go. It weighs less and fits in more corners of a bag. It's just an easier object to bring around with you, and that matters to a lot of folks!
Our first plastic brewer (The V3 Trogamid) was clear - but not quite as exquisite as the O1. It takes time to find the right manufacturers that truly care about quality and details as much as we do. In fact, it has taken us nearly 5 years. The attention to detail in tooling design, polishing, and in the injection itself yields a perfect object with no injection or flow marks. The best quality plastic brewer in the industry - PERIOD. We dare you to compare this with anything anyone else is making. Clear like glass but extremely durable and impact resistant. Made from a single-piece of 100% food-safe, BPA Free Tritan plastic. Polished to perfection and manufactured with care in a family-run boutique plastic factory. With the O1, we wanted to set a new standard for what you should expect from plastic coffee brewers - high quality materials and even higher quality execution and attention to detail. We are here to make the best!
There are some industry secrets and rumours of incorrect plastic labelling by many companies making "cheap brewers". In fact, many brewers that are labelled as TRITAN are not - they are made using a lower-grade PCTG material. This material is less impact-resistant, less optically clear, and feels quite different. We use the true Eastman Tritan material, made in USA 🇺🇸. Using the real deal is important - even if it's more expensive - because we know the material is safe at high temperatures and will last as intended. The original made in USA material has been used by reputable companies like Nalgene for cold and hot water contact bottles for years.
The OREA Brewer O1 is a clean, single-piece work of art. Simple, light, and very compact - with no moving parts. If you prefer a zero-fuss, easy-to-clean, simple and flexible brewer - this one's for you. Made from an impeccable optically clear BPA-free Tritan plastic. A nod to our first transparent V3 with the compact size of the V2 - but a design that is looking forward.
Our original OPEN bottom design has featured in our Glass, Porcelain and V4 plastic brewers for years. The OPEN bottom provides a ridge for the flat paper to stand atop, designed to find the perfect balance of support and space. The paper naturally bends through the middle, encouraging a more central flow of water through the coffee bed. With this style of brewer we find our most unique profile of acidity, with a more conical flow pattern through a shallow flat bottom bed. Candy-like acidity without sacrificing balance, sweetness and body. A masterpiece that has been much duplicated but not yet replicated.
This design has been praised for years by our customers for the consistency brew-to-brew. In a way, it is the design where we interfere least, letting gravity dictate how water flows and how the bed can behave. We love this inherent simplicity and the consistency it brings. The profile in the cup sits somewhere between the conical brewers and traditional flat brewers. Brighter and clean acidity, but a lot of balance. This bottom produces a lighter, more tea-like body than our other flat bottoms, which many praise and love. If you are after brews with thicker body, we recommend our V4 or Z1 brewers.
While our other new brewer - the Z1 - has just one paper option, the O1 is more flexible. You can brew in various ways and use different types of paper.
WAVE filters are easy, fast, and extremely available around the world. They allow more bypass, airflow, and create a narrower bed. Usually under the same parameters, they result in a less concentrated brew. Many like them for their ease of use, plug-and-play nature, and quick brew times. The O1 is compatible with the traditional 155 WAVE sized paper / our SMALL sized WAVE paper.
FLAT filters are fun, delicious, and offer a higher quality of brew due to a lowering of bypass and the creation of a wider, shallower bed of coffee in our brewer. Many like them for the juicy, sweet, full-bodied cups they help create by ensuring more water passes through the coffee and less around it. The O1 is compatible with the SMALL, 155 OREA Flat Filters / the SMALL, 155 Sibarist FAST Flat Filters.
There is no right answer to which kind of filter to use. It depends on what you value! We continue to explore and to support many brewing styles across our flat bottom brewers. We love to see people really try a lot of - sometimes weird - approaches. It's in the spirit of OREA - we hope you never stop.
We make the O1 in Taiwan with a boutique family-run plastic manufacturer. They treat their workers well and fairly and do their best to source everything locally in Taiwan. They treat their products with special care and respect. We know that our pricing to you - or their pricing to us - will never be the lowest - if you're looking for that, there are other companies to shop from. We are focused on quality and paying back in the value chain - supporting those that do business the right way.
