Cafec Flower Oval 101

Dark Roast

CAFEC's official dark-roast approach for the Flower Oval 101 pairs cooler water, a coarse grind, and restrained pulsing with its deep trapezoid bed, producing a mellow, full cup led by chocolate and caramel rather than roast bitterness.

Notes

Start coarse and use 88°C as a ceiling; dark coffee releases soluble material readily. Keep the kettle low and agitation modest. If the finish is ashy or drying, coarsen before lowering the temperature further.
