Cafec Flower Oval 102 Cafec
Kasuya 4:6
by Tetsu Kasuya
Tetsu Kasuya's 4:6 method — winner of the 2016 World Brewers Cup — adapted from V60 to the Flower Oval 102. Two pours that shape sweetness and acidity, three pours that shape strength. The trapezoid forgives a slightly faster drawdown than the cone, so we keep the same gesture and just let the corners get touched. Pick the roast on the recipe screen — the water temperature follows.

See all Cafec Flower Oval 102 recipes →- 01 Classic 1:16 byCAFEC Cata Coffee's three-pour Flower Dripper guide at the textbook 1:16 ratio. Bloom, build, finish — no agitation, no swirl, just clean separation between pours so each phase reads on the cup. Ratio 1:16 Time 3:30
- 02 Classic byCAFEC Two-cup recipe for the Flower Oval 102. 24g of coffee to 384g of water at 1:16, four pours in roughly three and a half minutes. Ratio 1:16 Time 2:50
- 03 Dark Roast byCAFEC Cooler, coarser, three pours and a stronger ratio (1:14.3) for dark roasts that sour out at higher temperatures. The Oval 102's wider bed gives darker beans more room to release CO2 evenly during bloom, which stops channels from forming when the level lifts. Ratio 1:14.3 Time 3:30
- 04 Dynamic Pour byKurasu Kurasu's two-cup recipe for Cafec trapezoids — fast, decisive pours with short waits between. Each pour goes in inside 12 seconds. The energy of the stream is what extracts at this grind, not contact time. Ratio 1:15.4 Time 3:00
- 05 High Extraction byCAFEC Bigger ratio (1:17), finer grind, and active stirring during the brew. Built for dense washed light roasts that refuse to give up sugar at standard contact times. The two-hole 102 lets you push the grind finer without stalling. Ratio 1:17 Time 4:30

- 02 Light 4:6 Kasuya's 4:6 method tuned for light roasts on the Deep 45. Same five-pour cadence, but a smaller first pour shifts the balance away from acidity and a higher temperature pulls more out of bright beans. Cafec Deep 45 Ratio 1:15 Time 5:00
- 03 Kasuya 4:6 Kasuya's 4:6 method scaled for the Deep 45. Five even pours of 90g every 45 seconds. Lower temperature and a heavier first pour ratio bring out chocolate and sweetness from medium-to-dark roasts. Pick the roast on the recipe screen — the water temperature follows. Cafec Deep 45 Ratio 1:15 Time 5:00
- 04 Kasuya 4:6 Tetsu Kasuya's 4:6 method scaled to the Deep Pro. Five equal centre pours of 90g at 45-second intervals — first 40% sets sweetness and acidity, last 60% sets strength. Pick the roast on the recipe screen — the water temperature follows. Cafec Deep Pro Ratio 1:15 Time 5:30
