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

Sibarist's abaca cone paper for V60-style cones in S and M, offered in both FAST and B3 grades. It drops into the V60-cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there. The FAST grade is the high-permeability sheet Sibarist rates as fast-draining, letting you grind finer for clarity without choking the bed; B3 is the lower-porosity option that builds more body and contact time (both the maker's own claims, not measured here). A pre-brew rinse is the usual habit.
