The 45° cone splits the difference between the Flower Cup 1 and the Deep 27 — same dose and gesture, grind one click coarser to compensate for the slightly taller bed. Ratio 1:16.7 Time 3:25 Dose 15g
- 02 Dark Roast CAFEC Ratio 1:15 Time 3:00 Dose 16g Low temperature extraction for dark roasts. The steep 45-degree ridges keep flow consistent for a clean dark roast cup. Ratio 1:15 Time 3:00 Dose 16g
- 03 Dynamic Pour Kurasu Ratio 1:15.4 Time 3:30 Dose 26g Kurasu's two-cup dynamic pour adapted to the Deep 45. Fast, decisive pours that build water level quickly — the deep bed does the contact-time work, the kettle just keeps up. Ratio 1:15.4 Time 3:30 Dose 26g
- 04 Iced CAFEC Ratio 1:10 Time 2:30 Dose 20g Flash iced coffee with the Cafec Deep 45. The deeper ridges allow aggressive extraction for a concentrated brew over ice. Ratio 1:10 Time 2:30 Dose 20g
- 05 Light 4:6 Tetsu Kasuya Ratio 1:15 Time 5:00 Dose 30g Kasuya's 4:6 method tuned for light roasts on the Deep 45. Same five-pour cadence, but a smaller first pour shifts the balance away from acidity and a higher temperature pulls more out of bright beans. Ratio 1:15 Time 5:00 Dose 30g
