Tetsu Kasuya's 4:6 method on the Cup 4. Five timed pours of 60g each. The first two define brightness and sweetness; the last three control strength. Pick the roast on the recipe screen — the water temperature follows.

Notes

Pours 1 and 2 are the 40% — split sweet vs bright. More water in the first pour means brighter; more water in the second means sweeter. Pours 3, 4 and 5 are the 60% — break them smaller for stronger, fewer for milder. Coarse grind is non-negotiable. The 4:6 contract is built around it. Anchor pours strictly to the clock. The Flower drains a touch faster than V60 03 and waiting for the bed to clear breaks the timing. Kasuya's published temps: 93°C light, 88°C medium, 83°C dark — use the roast selector to switch.
