PortafilterProcrastinator I’ve only made one brew with the Timemore but it was just as easy and tasted the same as the Orea using a natural coffee from Uganda.
In terms of looks and design the Timemore is about the same size as the Orea, they can both hold Kalita Wave filters (155 and 185). Both made from plastic but the Orea has a removable base and the Timemore doesn’t. The Timemore has a very eye catching crystal look especially when light shines through it. It also has ridges that I assume can help avoid bypass because the wave filters can sit against them, where as the Orea has flat sides. Saying that, I’ve never had a problem with bypass with wave filters although that is a common complaint.
The bottom of the Timemore has ten triangle shaped holes, the Orea has a hole in the middle and four curved line shape holes. I’ve never had a problem with stalling (common complaint of the metal Kalita), don’t see the Timemore having that problem either.
