- 01 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
- 02 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
- 03 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
- 04 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
