Small Dose

by CAFEC for Cafec Deep 27 original source (wendstudio.shop)

Wendstudio's small-dose guide demonstrates CAFEC's core purpose for the Deep 27: extracting a full-flavored cup from only 8g. Its narrow, tall bed suits costly or scarce coffee while avoiding a watery result.

Notes from CAFEC

Start coarse because the tall bed already supplies resistance; a fine setting can turn the small cup harsh before it gains strength. Center the stream to keep the limited grounds together and inspect the spent bed for dry edges. If the cup is weak, fine gradually rather than adding agitation.

When it's done

It should finish dripping around 1:45. If not, change just one thing in the next cup:

  • Past 2:05? Grind coarser
  • Done before 1:25? Grind finer
  • Bitter or dry? Coarser, or cooler water
  • Sour and thin? Grind finer
