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.

How it brews
An abaca-forward paper (abaca fibre plus European-pine cellulose and a plant-based PLA binder) for V60-style cones, made in Barcelona in S/M/XL. Sibarist positions it as draining meaningfully faster than a standard cone paper, the idea being that you can grind finer for more extraction without choking the bed — that fast, low-clog framing is the maker's own, not independently measured here. Despite the durable feel it's sold single-use; the rinse-and-reuse you'll see online is a community habit, not a Sibarist claim. If your brews routinely stall, this is the paper that most directly buys back drawdown speed on a cone.
