Paper

Orea Wave

Flow
Medium
Compatible
Orea V4, Orea O1
Cup character

Balanced clarity and sweetness. Wave shape promotes even extraction.

Good all-round choice for the Orea. Start here if unsure.

Paper

Orea Flat Paper + Negotiator

Flow
Slow–Medium
Compatible
Orea V4
Cup character

More body and sweetness than Wave. Slower flow = more contact time.

The Negotiator is a flow restrictor. Use a slightly coarser grind vs Wave.

Paper

SIBARIST FAST

Flow
Fast
Compatible
Orea V4, Orea O1, Various
Cup character

Very clean and delicate. Fast flow highlights subtle floral and tea-like notes.

Grind finer than Wave to compensate for faster flow.

April Paper Filter

Flow
Medium

April Brewer
Cup character

Clean, sweet, balanced. Designed specifically for the April Brewer geometry.

Use only with the April Brewer — geometry won't fit other drippers.
