Oval Swirl

by CAFEC

Cafec's own distributor recipe for the Flower Oval 101 — 15g of coffee to 240g at 1:16 and 87°C. The signature gesture is a fast oval-motion swirl on the first main pour, traced along the long edges of the trapezoid.

Notes

The 30g bloom rests for 30 seconds — long for a single-cup brew, but the trapezoid bed needs the saturation. The first main pour is fast: trace the oval shape of the dripper, hugging the long edges to wake up the corners. The second pour is slow and central, building gentle body without disturbing the bed. The final fill keeps agitation minimal so the slurry settles into a clean drawdown. Medium-coarse grind keeps the single bottom hole from stalling.
