# Lacàph: Phin ritual proposal

Independent, uncommissioned design proposal, researched 1 November 2026. This is not Lacàph's official website. Brand names, logos and product photography remain the property of their respective owners. Images are reproduced for this private outreach concept, not represented as original portfolio photography. No checkout, booking, analytics or message submission runs on this page.

## Official content sources

- https://www.lacaph.com/all-products/gifting-bundles
- https://www.lacaph.com/all-products/gifting-bundles/microfilter-phin-brewer
- https://www.lacaph.com/all-products/gifting-bundles/lacaph-vietnamese-phin-coffee-set

The phin's additional metal filter, Phin Blend flavor notes and the coffee book's subject matter come from the corresponding official pages. The ritual is product discovery, not a quantitative brewing recipe. Its last step links to Lacàph's actual recipe. Prices and availability are deliberately omitted. New Vietnamese campaign copy was written for this proposal.

## Image files

The files are locally resized WebP derivatives of official assets. No generative image edits or unrelated stock images were used. The original logo and blossom retain their original form. Brand photos also supply the hidden-hub preview.

## Online design references

Inspected for product education and guided discovery, not for copying brand artwork or content:

- https://fellowproducts.com/products/aiden-precision-coffee-maker: connect product details, how-it-works explanation and user controls in one product experience. Adapted here as one large phin scene with three educational states and official detail links.
- https://fellowproducts.com/: product-first presentation and clearly separated equipment education. The proposal keeps Lacàph's product photography central rather than using a generic promotional card grid.
- https://www.drinktrade.com/: guide a visitor through a small number of understandable coffee decisions. Adapted to explicit step navigation with flavor information, without inventing personalized recommendations.

All three reference sites were accessed online on 1 November 2026. No imagery, testimonials, commercial claims or copy was taken from these references.

## Fonts and implementation

Be Vietnam Pro, Google Fonts, SIL Open Font License. Local Vietnamese, Latin and Latin extended subsets at regular and medium weights. Source: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Be+Vietnam+Pro . License included in `assets/FONT-LICENSE.txt`. Fonts copied from the locally downloaded verified font assets used by the Alluvia sibling proposal.

The main ritual supports mouse, touch and arrow/Home/End keyboard navigation. Its palette, official product photograph, product facts and destination link change together. The secondary gift-note dialog only previews and copies a local message; Escape and the close button restore focus. Reduced motion disables transitions. All external purchase and experience links lead to official Lacàph pages.

## Share preview

## Impeccable refinement, 1 November 2026

Refined using the [Impeccable](https://github.com/pbakaus/impeccable) polish and craft guidance.

The polish preserves the phin scene and its changing palettes. Ritual and gift images decode before their related content updates, with retry feedback on image failures. The gift selector now updates the pictured product together with its official link. Mobile step controls and image crops have been refined. The note dialog preserves the draft, keeps its close action visible, and provides the complete recipient and message in its manual-copy fallback.
