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

The same tabbed V60 cone in 01/02/03, but made from natural, unbleached pulp — so it's brown rather than white. That bleach difference is the one objective distinction from the standard white V60; retailers describe it as FSC-certified and made in Japan without glue. Whether the natural pulp drains faster or slower than the bleached version is not something Hario states and community reports are mixed, so we leave flow unrated rather than repeat the "natural tastes papery / drains slower" folklore. As with any paper, a pre-rinse settles the bed and warms the brewer.
