How it brews
The V60-sized version of Able's reusable stainless cone. Like its larger Chemex sibling, the metal mesh passes oils and fine particles that paper traps, so it pushes a V60 toward more body and more sediment at the cost of clarity. It drains quickly through the perforated wall, so a coarser grind than your paper V60 recipe usually keeps it from running muddy. "Fast" here is community consensus, not a measured figure. Choose it for zero waste and a heavier cup; keep paper if cup clarity is the priority.

How it brews
Cafec's basic cone paper: a white, oxygen-bleached wood-pulp (cellulose) sheet in 01/02 sizes, distinct from the pricier ABACA line that swaps in abaca fibre. It drops into any V60-style cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there. Cafec publishes no fast/medium/slow class for this wood-pulp cone, so we leave flow unrated rather than infer one from how the ABACA papers behave. Treat it as the everyday, lower-cost option in Cafec's cone range; a quick pre-brew rinse is common to knock back any paper note.
