Oval Swirl

Cafec Flower Oval 102 Cafec by CAFEC

A CAFEC distributor recipe documented by the Netherlands coffee shop Kohiraifu scales the smaller Oval 101 brew to the Oval 102. Contrasting a brisk oval sweep with a quiet center pour creates a sweet, round cup without stalling.

Notes

For the opening pour, hold the spout low and trace compact ovals that wet both corners without striking the paper. Switch to a calm center stream afterward to limit agitation. At 87°C, tune brightness with grind first: finer adds extraction, while coarser softens a drying finish.
