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.

BACK IN METAL

The OREA V1 and V2 made their debut precisely 5 years ago (from the launch of this unit). To celebrate this big milestone in their history, they really wanted to release something special, inspired by everything learned in 5 years and looking ahead to the next 5. In fact, this version of the OREA brewer has been in the works for about 3 years - a process of finding the right approach and right manufacturing partner that could meet the requirements. Through some luck and serendipity, this unit came to be at the perfect time - launching 5 years from the first metal brewer they ever launched. 

OBSIDIAN, COATED STAINLESS STEEL

This brewer is made from a high grade Stainless Steel imported from South Korea. It's probably "aerospace grade" - but more importantly they wanted to work with something very consistent reel to reel and very food grade. On the interior wall, this specific unit is glossy ceramic coated, for a silky smooth durable food safe surface. On the exterior, there is a matte coating that is baked onto the steel frame. 

Please note: while they use super durable coatings - they are still coatings (similar to the original V2). This means that if you drop it unusually hard, ding it, and so on, the coating can be damaged. This does not make the unit unsafe, as under the coatings is pure Stainless Steel, but it may impact the aesthetics over time if you do not take care of it. We also do not recommend using a dishwasher for the OBSIDIAN unit, as with prolonged use, dishwashers will eventually wear the coatings (inner and outer). If you want a totally worry-free unit, please consider the O1 BREWER RAW steel, which has absolutely no extra finishings or coatings. 

DOUBLE-WALL CONSTRUCTION

An important distinction from the V2 is that this brewer is double-walled. This double-wall creates a cushy air pocket that will keep heat in the brewing chamber and it will not be very hot to the touch, when handling the brewer. The brewing effect is somewhat similar to the plastic brewers as a result, due to a consistency of heat and low radiative effect. In fact, the exterior temperature is usually 20 degrees cooler than the plastic wall of the O1, while brewing. The result is a smooth, balanced cup that OREA brewers are well known for. 

YOUR FOREVER BREWER

Steel is more durable that aluminium, and this particular unit is totally uncoated, dishwasher safe, and can last for generations. It resists stains and can be cleaned thoroughly if needed. Use it year after year after year - and never buy a brewer again.

WHY THEY MADE THE BABY O

Another brewer? Really? YES. OREA stopped making small/compact/155 size brewers a few years ago. They wanted to focus on one size to make things easier, 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:

BETTER FOR SMALL DOSES

A lot of 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.

EASIER FOR TRAVEL

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!

HIGH CLARITY, HIGH VIBRANCY

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, they 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. 

UNIBODY

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. 

ORIGINAL OPEN BOTTOM

The original OPEN bottom design has featured in their 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.
