How it brews

A budget reusable stainless cone that fits both V60-style cones and the Chemex, aimed at people who want a metal filter without the premium of an Able Kone. As with any metal filter, the mesh lets oils and fines through for a fuller, more sediment-heavy cup than paper, and it drains fast enough that a coarser grind usually behaves better. The "fast" rating is community consensus, not a lab number. It's a zero-waste, one-buy option; the trade against paper is clarity and a clean base.

How it brews

Cafec's higher-abaca cone paper — the "+" signalling a larger share of abaca fibre than the standard ABACA cones — sold in Cup1 and Cup4 sizes for V60-style cones. Abaca tends to build a more open, durable sheet, and Cafec's pitch across the ABACA range is flow with clarity, but the maker prints no fast/medium/slow class for this paper, so we leave flow unrated rather than guess. It fits the V60-cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there. A pre-brew rinse is the usual habit.
