The Big Boy is a new brewer from OREA that brings a lot of what people love in our smaller brewers to much bigger volumes of coffee.
For two or more
The Big Boy is made for big brews, with an optimal dose range of 40g-60g of coffee for 600ml to 1 liter. You can go as low as 32g or as high as 80g with the right recipe, but it's recommended to keep pours big (200ml+ per pour) for optimal performance. So if you brew lower quantities, grind finer and use bigger pours. The brewers come with guides in the box for recipes for two, three, or more people.
Unclogable design
The Big Boy has a unique bottom design that uses a series of tall teeth/ridges to hold the paper up perfectly straight and always allow for airflow under the bed. The brewer itself will not clog (stop dripping due to suction/etc.) - but if you grind too fine or if your grinder is not very good in general, the paper filter itself may clog. Some coffees will naturally drain slower than others as they provide different resistance to water, based on processing method, roast style, etc. However - the device itself will not get in the way, providing a huge 8cm opening at the bottom through the use of the ridges. In addition, there is a big exit hole in the middle that will always keep the coffee flowing.
Big, brutal, but beautiful
This is definitely our most brutal design. It's big, toothy, aggressive - a bit of a departure from our normal design language. The form really follows the function here. This brutal, toothy design is super-optimized and contributes to great performance under big volumes. It also leads to its consistency. What you will notice is that while the brewer is big and brutal, it drips gentle drops - it is really beautiful to see.
Brew for 2 or more in 3-4 minutes
With the right recipes and for most coffees, you can brew 600ml to 1 liter in about 3-4 minutes. You can push this if you use the Negotiator system along with a fast paper like the Sibarist FAST. You can also push it by manipulating grind size and pouring volume - it really depends on what you are looking for. This brewer is - like all OREA brewers - very flexible. But like all of them, you can also keep it simple using the wave filters and the simple recipes included in the box.
Who is the Big Boy Brewer for?
If you brew for yourself and your partner, or flatmates, family, or colleagues - this is a great option for you. If you run a cafe and want to offer better-quality batch brew or to brew multiple filter brews at once with great results - this is a great option for you. If you're brewing at events - this is a great option for you. If you just like to brew one time per day and take the coffee with you in a flask - this is a great option for you. This brewer is for anyone that wants to make a tasty bigger batch, with low effort and consistency.
