A classic with a new twist
OREA introduced Negotiator four years ago, originally as a silicone mold copying the inner shape of the OREA V2 dripper , and later as a 3D printable and freely shared design that has fundamentally influenced the world of coffee preparation. Gradually, the Negotiator spread across the coffee world, so OREA decided to take this concept even further. NEO NEGOTIATOR is an evolution of this original and simple tool. It is injection molded from transparent BPA-free polymer, is food safe, and heat resistant. The design allows for a smooth flow of water, and the shape ensures better adhesion of the paper filter to the walls of the dripper.
Evolution
OREA has long paid close attention to the development and improvement of its tools whenever new ideas and manufacturing possibilities allow. The Negotiator was initially a rather marginal product, but its popularity gradually grew. The time was therefore right to finalize the design, start full-scale production, and incorporate extensive feedback from users. The goal was to create a product that would meet the highest standards of functionality and workmanship.
Compatibility
Neo Negotiator is compatible with all OREA narrow flat-bottom drippers. It can be used with the V2, V3, V3 MK2, V4 Narrow, O1, Glass Brewer, and Porcelain Brewer models. Some OREA products are handmade and the inner shape of the bottom may vary slightly, which may result in a slight gap around the Negotiator. This is normal. The filter can be perfectly seated with a small amount of water after the first fold.
Resistant to high temperatures
The product is completely safe for use with boiling water, which was a frequent request. A 3D-printed solution was not chosen due to limited confidence in the food safety of these materials at high temperatures, which have not been sufficiently tested for long-term real-world use. Thanks to plastic injection molding technology, food safety and heat resistance can be guaranteed in the long term, while using premium materials with a perfectly smooth surface.
Fast flow
Neo Negotiator is designed in the same spirit as OREA drippers, with an emphasis on fast flow and immediate saturation of the filter paper with water. The paper can be moistened directly on the spot, slightly rotated to ensure a perfect fit every time it is used.
