Cafec Flower Oval 101 Cafec

Light Roast

by CAFEC

Cafec's house light-roast recipe for the Flower Oval 101 — hotter water, finer grind, four pours over a longer drawdown. The flower ribs help open up bright, floral notes that cones with grooved paper tend to mute.

Notes

96°C is the upper end Cafec recommends for the Oval — light roasts need the heat to release floral and citric volatiles. The bloom swirl is critical for light roasts: degassing is heavier and the bed needs help settling flat. Keep pours slow and gentle — light roasts can taste astringent if the bed is over-agitated by quick streams. Medium-fine grind here is finer than the trapezoid usually wants, but the lower dose (12g) keeps the bed shallow enough that drawdown stays clean.
