Cafec Flower Oval 102 Cafec

Osmotic Flow

by CAFEC

A Cafec house technique that leans on the Oval's deeper bed: bloom, then a single slow continuous pour at the centre that lasts two full minutes. Water never lifts much — it migrates down through the bed osmotically, level steady, drawdown undisturbed.

Notes

The hard part is keeping the stream constant. Pour at roughly 3g/s for two minutes — slower than feels natural — so the level barely changes between the start and the end of the pour. A medium grind plus the second hole keeps the bed from clogging at this slow flow rate. If the level keeps climbing, your pour is too fast. The cup is rounder and more chocolate-leaning than any of the multi-pour recipes. Best for medium and darker roasts where you want body without bitterness.
