How it brews
The middle paper in Cafec's roast-tuned ABACA line by drain speed — denser than the fast T-90, more open than the slow, light-roast T-92 — which Cafec pairs with dark roasts. Its flow starts brisk but tends to brake as fine particles accumulate in the bed, so on very fine or fines-heavy grinds it can slow toward the end of the drawdown. Dark-roast coffee gives up its solubles easily, and this middling contact time aims to develop body without pushing a developed roast into bitterness. On a light roast the balance shifts — the shorter, uneven contact can read as thin — which is exactly why Cafec sells three papers instead of one.
