Ultimate Technique

Cafec Flower Cup 1 Cafec by James Hoffmann

James Hoffmann's V60 Ultimate Technique is adapted here to the Flower Cup 1, whose open ribs permit a slightly finer grind at the familiar cadence. Bloom and staged pouring seek a clean, sweet cup with high extraction and a level bed.

Notes

Swirl the bloom rather than stirring it, then keep the main pours broad but inside the coffee bed. Near the end, use a gentle crosswise stir to release wall grounds and a final swirl to level the bed. For darker coffee, reduce heat before changing grind.
