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.

How it brews

Cafec's basic cone paper: a white, oxygen-bleached wood-pulp (cellulose) sheet in 01/02 sizes, distinct from the pricier ABACA line that swaps in abaca fibre. It drops into any V60-style cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there. Cafec publishes no fast/medium/slow class for this wood-pulp cone, so we leave flow unrated rather than infer one from how the ABACA papers behave. Treat it as the everyday, lower-cost option in Cafec's cone range; a quick pre-brew rinse is common to knock back any paper note.
