The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Cool trick! I have never used Orea. How is it compared to Mugen or switch?

Here's how I usually use my brewers now ๐Ÿ˜…

  • Aeropress: when making stronger coffee base for coffee milk.
  • Hario Switch 03: brewing bigger batch of coffee (400-450gr of coffee)
  • Hario switch + mugen: brewing tea
  • Orea v3 or mugen: brewing single cup coffee

Switch 03 is still the best for brewing more coffee at once.

I also find setting up paper filter with orea is easier because of the negotiator, compared to mugen. But I usually try both when getting new beans. To see which compliments the beans better. Experimenting is part of the fun ๐Ÿ˜

But when I can't be bothered and just want a good cup of coffee, aeropress / switch usually give me the most consistent results.
