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

Goat Story's conical paper for the GINA brewer, cut to the V60-02 class cone. Because it shares the V60 seat, it fits a standard V60-class dripper as readily as the GINA itself, so it's an easy substitute in either direction. Goat Story states no flow class for it, and there's no dependable within-seat ranking against other cone papers, so we leave flow unrated rather than invent one. As a single-use cone paper it takes the usual pre-brew rinse to seat it against the cone and rinse off any paper note.
