Kasuya 4:6

Cafec Flower Oval 102 Cafec by Tetsu Kasuya

Tetsu Kasuya's World Brewers Cup-winning four-to-six method is translated from the V60 to the Oval 102. Early pours tune sweetness and acidity, while later divisions set strength for a balanced, adjustable cup.

Notes

Use five equal 60g pulses and a coarse grind so the deeper trapezoid bed does not choke. Change the split of the first two pulses to steer the cup brighter or sweeter; adjust the later split for lighter or fuller texture. Coarsen if the bed stalls and fine slightly if it drains too quickly.
