Cafec Flower Oval 101 Cafec
Ultimate Technique
James Hoffmann's Ultimate V60 ported to the Flower Oval 101. Bloom and swirl, two main pours, then a final stir-and-swirl to settle the bed flat. Grind is one click coarser than the V60 reference to compensate for the slower trapezoid drawdown.

- 02 Dark Roast byCAFEC Cafec's house dark-roast recipe for the Flower Oval 101 — lower water temperature, coarser grind, three pours. The mellow-and-rich character the Oval is built for shows up cleanly here: chocolate and caramel without any roasted bitterness pushing through. Ratio 1:15 Time 3:00
- 03 Dynamic Pour byKurasu Kurasu's two-cup dynamic-pour technique scaled for the Flower Oval 101. Four fast, energetic pours that drive turbulence through the bed and dial in body without long contact times. The grind sits one click coarser than the conical version. Ratio 1:15.6 Time 3:00
- 04 Four Pour byKurasu Kurasu's house basic recipe ported to the Flower Oval 101. Four pours on regular 30-second beats: bloom, build, body, finish. Coarse grind keeps the single bottom hole flowing on the deeper trapezoid bed. Ratio 1:14.3 Time 3:00
- 05 Iced byKurasu Kurasu's Japanese-iced concentrate adapted for the Flower Oval 101. Hot brew lands directly onto 70g of ice in the server, flash-chilling extraction at peak aromatic intensity for a clean, citric cup. Ratio 1:9.4 Time 2:30
