- 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
