NEGOTI-WHAT?

If you're new to OREA and to the concept of a Negotiator - we'll explain it simply. It is a simple tool that helps you shape almost any kind of filter (flat paper filter preferred) to the inside of our brewers. It helps you negotiate the paper into shape, to form a low-bypass brewing environment where the paper hugs the walls perfectly, forcing water through coffee rather than encouraging it to go around it. 

A CLASSIC, REIMAGINED

Orea invented the Negotiator 4 years ago, initially as a silicone mould of the internal shape of the OREA V2 and then transitioned into a 3D printable, sharable design that has truly changed the brewing world. The NEO NEGOTIATOR is their evolution of this original and simple tool. Injection-moulded from a BPA-free polymer, food safe and heat resistant. Designed to allow water to flow through and with a shape that fits the paper better to the brewer's walls.

COMPATIBLE

The NEO NEGOTIATOR is compatible with all of Orea's narrow-shaped flat bottom brewers. Use it with the V2, V3, V3 MK2, V4 Narrow, O1, Glass Brewer, and Porcelain Brewer.  Please note that some of Orea's devices are hand-made and some of our bottoms are different internally - which can cause some minimal space around the Negotiator. This is okay! You can sit the filter perfectly with some water after the initial fold.

HEAT SAFE

Perfectly safe to use with boiling water - a much requested feature. Orea does not trust 3D printing and food safety at high temperatures (the materials are simply not rated or tested for this in real world use). This is partly why they have never released a heat-use 3D printed product. With injection-moulding Orea can guarantee heat-safe food safety over time and it gives them the freedom to use premium materials with a perfectly injected finish.

FAST FLOW

The NEO NEGOTIATOR is designed like Orea's famous brewers - to be fast-flowing and allow a super quick saturation of the filter paper with water.  Simply wet the paper in place, rotate, and voila - the perfect fit every time.

HIGHER EXTRACTION

By minimising bypass, you will invariably reach higher extractions in similar brewing times. Bypass can cause blockages, slowing down brews. Minimising this bypass can ensure similar brew times but with a much richer, brighter extraction. 

MORE CONSISTENT 

Bypass is inconsistent. It never happens the same way. By using the Negotiator and a flat paper filter in our flat bottom brewers, you can minimise bypass and ensure more consistency brew-to-brew. 

MORE FUN

You can experiment with more paper types and brewing styles - it's overall a bit of a geeky tool, but super fun nonetheless.
