Beauty in the Brew with Abdullah Isaacs: Orea Filter

Friday, 14 March, 2025

Avid Home Brewer, Abdullah Isaacs, takes us through a day in his coffee life and shares his go-to recipes. Did you know that Abdullah made coffee at Masjid al-Nabawi in Saudi Arabia during Ramadan last year and it got over a million views! The joy is evident and the structure of this mosque is quite sensational, check it out.

The Orea V3

It is safe to say that the Orea dripper is the most hyped flat bottom dripper. Fast flowing with little stalling issues.

I prefer this brewer for anaerobic, Carbonic Maceration and hyper processed coffees. Think the boozy, winey type of coffees. This dripper brings out the best of these processed coffees.

Recipe

12.5 gr coffee

Medium ground (similar to AeroPress) - 16 to 18 click on Commandante grinder

200ml water, Water temp 93°

Bloom 50ml and wait 45 seconds

2nd pour till 125ml

Start your pour on the outside until 90ml and quickly work your way to the centre pour.

3rd pour, repeat the style of the second pour.

Total brew time 2min - 2min 30seconds

Enjoy a smooth, full bodied flavourful cup of coffee.
