- 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. Cafec Flower Oval 102 Ratio 1:16 Time 3:30
- 02 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. Cafec Flower Oval 102 Ratio 1:14.3 Time 3:30
- 03 Japanese Iced byKurasu Kurasu's Japanese iced method scaled for the Flower Oval 102. 120g of ice goes in the server, the brew lands hot on top, and the cup flash-chills as it drains. Higher coffee-to-water ratio (1:9.2 hot) compensates for the dilution from the melting ice. Cafec Flower Oval 102 Ratio 1:9.2 Time 2:45
- 04 Kissaten Style byCAFEC 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. Cafec Flower Oval 102 Ratio 1:10 Time 5:30
- 05 Osmotic Flow byCAFEC 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. Cafec Flower Oval 102 Ratio 1:16.7 Time 4:00
- 06 Single Pour byCAFEC Bloom plus one continuous pour at the centre. Faster than the Osmotic Flow — 90 seconds instead of 120 — so the brew finishes inside four minutes without losing the rounded character of a single-stream pour. The closest the 102 gets to a "set it and pour" recipe. Cafec Flower Oval 102 Ratio 1:16.7 Time 4:00
- 07 Three Pour byCAFEC Belco's three-pour Flower Dripper recipe at 1:15. Half the water lands in the second pour to push body, the third pour fills out the cup. A medium grind on the Oval 102 holds together because the second hole keeps the second-pour wave moving. Cafec Flower Oval 102 Ratio 1:15 Time 3:15
- 08 Ultimate Technique byJames Hoffmann James Hoffmann's V60 Ultimate Technique adapted to the Flower Oval 102 at three-cup scale. 30g dose, two-pour structure (40% bloom, 60% main), agitation at the start and end. The two-hole 102 holds together at this dose where a single-hole trapezoid would stall. Cafec Flower Oval 102 Ratio 1:16.7 Time 4:30
- 09 Six-Minute Steep byCounter Culture Coffee Counter Culture Coffee's French Press recipe. All water at once, stir at 30 seconds, steep for 6 minutes total. The extended steep with medium-coarse grind produces a sweet, full cup. French Press 3 Cup Ratio 1:17.9 Time 6:15
- 10 Bloom and Break bySpecialty Coffee Association Cupping-inspired method for a 3-cup French press. A bloom phase, crust break, and surface skim produce a remarkably clean full cup. French Press 3 Cup Ratio 1:15 Time 10:20
- 11 Cold Brew Concentrate bySpecialty Coffee Association Overnight cold brew in a small 3-cup French press. Produces a smooth, low-acid concentrate for one or two iced drinks. French Press 3 Cup Ratio 1:6 Time 720:30
- 12 Hot Concentrate bySpecialty Coffee Association High-dose concentrate brewed in a small press, diluted with hot water to yield two cups. Excellent for iced lattes when poured over ice and milk. French Press 3 Cup Ratio 1:8.6 Time 5:30
- 13 Cupping-Style French Press bySpecialty Coffee Association French Press brewed using SCA cupping protocol techniques. No press — just break the crust, skim, and pour carefully. Produces the cleanest possible French Press cup. French Press 3 Cup Ratio 1:16.7 Time 10:10
- 14 Dark Roast bySpecialty Coffee Association Adapted for dark roast beans in a small French press. Lower temperature and shorter steep time prevent over-extraction and bitterness. French Press 3 Cup Ratio 1:17.9 Time 3:20
- 15 Iced French Press bySpecialty Coffee Association Japanese-style flash brew adapted for the French press. Brew a strong hot concentrate and pour directly over ice for a bright, aromatic iced coffee. French Press 3 Cup Ratio 1:8 Time 4:20
