| 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. |
An abaca-blend cone paper Hario markets as its high-flow V60 filter — the maker states it drains fast for the V60 seat, and rates it low on clogging. The mechanism is the paper itself: a more open abaca sheet lets water leave the bed sooner, so in a fast dripper like the V60 the paper stops being the bottleneck and hands rate control back to your grind and pour. Brewers chasing an open, high-clarity cup tend to reach for a fast paper like this and lean on a finer grind or slower pour to build contact time back up if they want it. It's cut for the standard V60 cone (sizes 01 and 02), so it drops straight into any 60° V60-class dripper. |
