If you haven’t used Orb One or, as it is called, stovetop coffee maker, you’ve missed a lot. This newest device is able to scare away beginners with the seeming complexity of the design. But in fact, it is a very simple construction that allows you to make a stunning cup of coffee in minutes.
What To Expect
Orb One has the same functions as the popular Mocha pot. Don’t expect a super result from Geyser coffee. But Orb One gives a unique drink, even better than brewed in jezve or French press. The main its advantages are:
- Flexibility to change the coffee type by changing water ratio and grinding grades;
- Use on a traditional stovetop or even on the camping stove;
- The brew pot can take 14 to 16 g of ground coffee and the boiler holds at least 8 oz of water;
- Interesting design and aesthetic view in the kitchen;
- Good extraction.
Brewing should take no more than 5 minutes. If the process lasts longer, help this by increasing the fire or changing the water ratio. The process is complete when all the water has penetrated into the top of the coffee maker. You will understand this by the sound.
It is important to remember that Orb One is the newest device that makes it available to control water temperature as the SCA recommended. Different coffee drinks require different brewing temperatures.
Cleaning
Like the French press, jezve, and Chemex, Orb One does not need special care. After making coffee, it is enough to empty the strainer and rinse all parts under running water.
After the Orb One campaign ends, the device will be available for direct online sales at an estimated price of $ 150. Martin Kastner, the owner, predicts other Orbs may follow soon, including a 16-ounce model, a lightweight camping model, and an electric countertop model.
