WORTHY OF A CHAMPION 

Our original modular brewer, the V4 was the brewer of choice for over 20% of competitors in both of the last two World Brewers Cups. It's also not a coincidence that it was used to brew the highest scoring cups in the 2024 and 2025 World Brewers Cup. It also was the tool of choice for our friend Martin Wölfl - the Austrian Champion and World Brewers Cup champion. We are super proud to work together with Martin and to support him through his journey to the world title. This special edition of the V4 is a celebration of Martin's achievements - a brewer worthy of a world champion. 

V4 Narrow x MW Special Edition 

THE FULL V4 NARROW UNIT

The Champion's special edition comes boxed with all 4 bottoms as standard, not just the FAST bottom that Martin used in the World Brewers Cup. We wanted you to be able to still explore the full V4 range.

INCLUDES THE RARE 24K GOLD BASE

The Champion's special edition comes together with the real 24k gold plated and engraved champion's base. We see this more as a collectible, as it does use real gold - which can scratch easily.  

INCLUDES THE STANDARD STAINLESS STEEL BASE

The Champion's special edition comes boxed with the normal SS base too, in silver. We recommend you use this base for brewing day to day, so we include it in the package too!

Please note that the gold base only comes with the MW Special Edition unit. 

One brewer - two geometries

You can select one of two geometries. The Narrow (available in the standard unit with stainless steel base or in a special edition that also includes a 24k Gold base) and the Wide both come with 4 bottoms and the same modular system. The wider geometry is more suited to use with conical papers but also works great with flat or wave papers. The Narrow brewer is more suited to flat and wave papers. Please see our guides for information on how to use each style of brewer. 

Award-winning before it even shipped

We were humbled to find out that the V4 was awarded the prestigious European Product Design Award as a winner in the Homeware, Coffee and Tea category. While we design products for coffee nerds rather than product designers, we were really happy to see that some of the best minds in the European design community agree that this design is indeed not rubbish! That surely has to count for something right? Jokes aside - we invested a lot of time, effort and money to make this complex product happen and we are thrilled to have some early recognition for that work. 

Not just a brewer - a system

The V4 is far more than a brewer. V4 is a system - a system that currently supports 8 brewing devices, in two tidy packages. A system we can build upon, over time. We think it is so good that we may never have to make a V5, but time will tell.

Bullsh*t 

Everything in this system has been thoroughly tested. If an item exists as part of the system, it means it was significantly different than the other and warranted a place in the system. We tried hard to eliminate components as each component ads cost (we are a small business) - and we settled on our best and most unique designs to kickstart the best system in coffee brewing. It was simply not possible to eliminate more - we just loved all of these options!

System

The V4 uses a modular system to attach and remove different bottoms. We made the connection point quite high on the brewer so that we can really make meaningful changes to how the bottoms are designed. This is not modularity for modularity sake - we are not changing meaningless things. Rather, this is a system that allows you to make big changes with small parts. It was not easy to design, and we are sure many will copy these ideas, but they will never be as good as the original.

Geometries 

We like to launch new products with options. It's part of what we enjoy about the process of designing and exploring these products. In the V3 Brewer we released two sizes, 155 and 185. In the V4 we focus on two geometries: Narrow and Wide. Both are sized "Large / 185". For now, we are abandoning the idea of tiny brewers, because we prefer the flexibility of a slightly bigger body with the same geometry. The flow rates and cup profiles of the two geometries are very different - we really think you will love exploring this. 

73° Narrow - our classic geometry. While the brewer looks a bit different on the outside, the Narrow V4 has the same geometry inside as the V3 & V2. 

65° Wide - a new geometry for us. Narrower than most, but wider than our classic. We found this a sweet spot for really making a difference but not quite becoming a slow bowl. It's a width we are comfortable with and it provides a very unique profile.

Flat Bottoms in each geometry 

Each geometry has 3 different flat bottoms. You may notice they are very similar to all of the other brewers we just released too, and this is not a coincidence. 

The Classic - a V3 MK2 bottom in the V4, for an equivalent performance and flavour profile. This bottom provides some restriction while keeping the bed perfectly flat. Our vintage approach, loved around the world. 

The Open - the same design as our Glass Series OPEN brewer but in the V4 plastic body, which will give a different profile. This bottom will focus flow centrally and produce a different flavour profile entirely - a great one to explore. 

The Fast - this design takes all of the ideas we explored in the new Big Boy Brewer and brings these into the V4 system. An unclogable design, and probably our fastest - giving new options for those wanting to explore grinding finer, pouring bigger, or playing with many paper types.

Brewers in 1 

The V4 comes with 4 distinct bottoms that help direct the flow of water in unique ways. Each comes with a different set of contact and exit points, designed to manipulate the flow of water to enhance different characteristics from the same coffee. They are all efficient, fast, and consistent - but differ in what qualities they will highlight. 

AWARD-WINNING 

The V4 is a 2023 winner of the European Product Design award, chosen as the winning design in the Home, tea and coffee brewers category. We are pleased to have this distinction, which we have won once again in 2024 with the new Z1 brewer. Being recognised by the design community is not our main priority - making great brewers is - but we really appreciate the recognition from some of the best design minds in Europe. 

Modular without the modular feeling

When we took on the challenge of making a modular brewer - we really did not want it to feel modular. Sometimes modular products just feel too... modular. We didn't want this to feel gimmicky in any way. Each time you configure it, it looks and feels like a normal brewer - there is no feeling of modularity. If you prefer to use one bottom most of the time, you will never think of the brewer as a modular object, just as that specific brewer. All connection points are sturdy threads, they inter-lock with connections hidden by the base. Each combination feels amazing on its own, and this was so important to us that it's hard to convey with text alone. Nothing about the V4 will feel modular - it will feel like a solid brewer with options when you want them. 

A SOLID METAL BASE

A stunning metal base, machined from Stainless Steel, brings the whole brewer together. This is a nice in-between of the metal V2 and plastic V3, nostalgia included. It brings a nice premium weight to the brewer that we absolutely love. 

HIGH-IMPACT PP

The plastic elements of the brewer (funnel & bottoms) are made from a high-impact Polypropylene that is BPA Free and approved for food safety by the FDA and EU. This is the same material as the V3 MK2 and the Big Boy.

MATTE BLACK FINISH

Currently we will only sell this unit in matte black, with a similar durable matte finish as our Big Boy and V3 MK2 brewers. 

AN IMPOSSIBLE DESIGN

We tend to make things that manufacturers tell us is not possible or highly likely to fail. The V4 is no different. To achieve the clean geometry and include the modularity neatly, we push what is advisable for injection moulding to a limit. This makes an overall nicer product with the clean, minimalist design we love. It also brings with it small marks as we stress the plastic in our moulds (usually hidden on the interior), using higher pressures to successfully mould the shapes we want. We think this is a worthwhile tradeoff - as we value overall form and function above shimmer and shine. We hope you will agree! 

4 INCREDIBLE BREWERS, EACH JUST £12.50

By using a smart system, we are able to bring you our best 4 (or 8!) ideas in a tidy package at a fair price. It's hard to compete with the giants out there that can mass-produce a full brewer for £15. With this approach, we can compete with that price and give you a much better product. If you order now, you can get the full set in one geometry (narrow or wide) for £49.99, or just £12.50 per brewer.

NARROW vs WIDE

Geometry impacts the characteristics of the brew and your brewing experience. While we like them both, there are some differences between the two. 

Volume & Capacity 

The WIDE OREA V4 has about 20% more volume than the NARROW OREA V4. This is simply due to the wider geometry. The WIDE OREA V4 can handle slightly larger brews, up to 36g (2 cups), while the NARROW OREA V4 shines until about 28g (2 smaller cups). They both use the exact same paper sizes (185 / Large). 

Speed

The NARROW OREA V4 will always be faster - but this does not mean that the WIDE OREA V4 is slow. When brewing under the same conditions, the NARROW OREA V4 tends to draw down about 30 seconds faster. 

Taste profile

Both geometries produce great results in the cup, with the WIDE versions favouring more body and balance, while the NARROW versions more brightness and intensity. The results are of course impacted greatly by technique, the chosen bottoms, paper, and grind. 

APEX brewing experience

The NARROW OREA V4 will work with rounder APEX bottoms than the WIDE, which needs to be sharper due to the hole size and geometry. If you are in search of clean, bright acidity, we recommend the NARROW. If you are in search of balanced and bright cups, we recommend the WIDE.

Consistency, consistency, consistency

One area these brewers do not differ from each-other is in their consistency. Delicious cup after cup with less variance than other devices.
