Cafec Flower Oval 101 Cafec

Kasuya 4:6

by Tetsu Kasuya

Tetsu Kasuya's 4:6 Method ported to the Flower Oval 101. Five even 45g pours, the first two shaping flavour and the last three building strength. Adapted for the extended drawdown of the trapezoid bed by ~15 seconds; coarser grind keeps the bed from stalling at the single bottom hole. Pick the roast on the recipe screen — the water temperature follows.

Notes

Same five-pour structure as the V60 original — first two pours dial flavour (more bright, less bright), last three dial strength. Grind one click coarser than the V60 reference: the trapezoid drains slower than a 60° cone and a tight grind will choke the single bottom hole. Pour gaps stay at 45 seconds; total brew lands ~15 seconds longer than the V60 version. The bed agitates well thanks to the flower ribs, so even pours land cleanly without extra swirl. Kasuya's published temps: 93°C light, 88°C medium, 83°C dark — use the roast selector to switch.
