How it brews

The Copenhagen roastery's own flat-bottom paper, sold Small (≈Kalita 155 / Origami S) and Large (size 175, for the April plastic brewer). It's cut to sit deep with a wide base and is marketed as flowing faster than conventional flat papers — that speed claim is April's, kept as a class rather than a number here. One honest ambiguity: older retailer copy described April filters as using Sibarist's abaca FAST technology, while the current listing says virgin wood pulp (cellulose); we record cellulose per the direct listing but don't treat abaca as confirmed. It drops into a Kalita Wave 155/185 seat, so it interchanges with those papers.

How it brews

The flat-bottom basket paper for Moccamaster's CDGT batch brewer, sized for the larger "Grand" basket rather than a wedge cone. It seats in the flat-basket family and interchanges with other basket papers of that fit, not with wedge or cone brewers. Moccamaster publishes no fast/medium/slow class, so we leave flow unrated. Like other batch baskets, the flat bed spreads the coffee wide and it needs no special handling.
