Cafec Flower Oval 102 Cafec

Kissaten Style

by CAFEC

Adapted from Cafec's Deep 45 kissaten approach for the trapezoid. 30g dose, only 300g of water (1:10), 80°C, three minutes of slow continuous pouring after the bloom. The cup that comes out is concentrated, low-acid, syrupy — built to be sipped slowly with milk and sugar in a kissaten booth.

Notes

Kissaten are pre-war Japanese coffee houses where coffee was served strong and dark with cream and sugar. The recipes were built around dark roasts and very low temperatures to suppress bitterness while keeping body. 80°C is the lowest you'll see in this manual. Use a kettle thermometer or wait roughly two minutes after the boil — guessing here will turn the cup flat. The slow continuous pour is non-negotiable. If you split it into pulses, the bed cools further between pours and the brew under-extracts. Keep the stream steady at roughly 1g/s. This is a sipping cup, not a daily driver. Pair with milk to lift it.
