How do I make a pour over with a Cafec Flower dripper?
To brew with a Cafec Flower dripper, place a compatible filter in the dripper and rinse it thoroughly. Add your medium-fine ground coffee, level the bed, and perform a with double the water weight. Use a steady, circular pour to maintain a consistent water level, aiming for a total brew time of 2.5 to 3 minutes.

The Cafec Flower dripper is designed with unique vertical ribs that resemble flower petals, which help to maintain an air layer between the filter and the dripper wall. This design promotes efficient drainage and prevents the filter from suctioning to the sides, which is a common issue in other cone-shaped brewers. This structure allows for a very clean and consistent extraction.
To get the best results, start by selecting a high-quality paper filter that fits the dripper's geometry. Rinsing the filter is a non-negotiable step; it removes any residual paper taste and preheats the ceramic or plastic dripper, ensuring that your brewing temperature remains stable throughout the process. Once rinsed, discard the water from your carafe.
When adding your coffee, aim for a medium-fine grind. The 'flower' rib design is quite efficient, so you may find that it drains slightly faster than a standard V60. If your coffee tastes weak or sour, try a slightly finer grind to increase resistance. Begin with a phase—pouring about twice the weight of your coffee in water—and wait 30–45 seconds. This allows the coffee to degas, ensuring that the subsequent pours extract evenly.
As you continue to pour, focus on a steady, gentle stream. The goal is to keep the water level consistent without agitating the grounds too aggressively. Because the Cafec Flower dripper is designed for clarity, it works exceptionally well with light-roast, single-origin coffees where you want to highlight bright acidity and floral notes. In practice, this dripper is a forgiving and elegant tool that offers a great balance between the control of a manual pour over and the consistency of a more automated process.
