How it brews
The most open, fastest-draining paper in Cafec's roast-tuned ABACA line — a low-density sheet with high crepe texture on both faces, which Cafec rates as its smoothest, quickest flow. Counterintuitively it's paired with medium-to-dark roasts, not the lightest: the quick drawdown keeps contact time short so a developed roast doesn't tip into heavy, ashy extraction. Because the paper stays out of the way, your grind and pour do the steering and it's the least fussy of the three to run clean. In one roaster's blind test on a floral honey coffee — same recipe, only the paper changed — the faster T-90 read as cleaner but less layered than the denser, slower T-92 (author testimony, a single coffee, not a controlled study). If a cup tastes thin, reach for a hotter pour or a slightly finer grind before adding agitation.

How it brews
Cafec's eco-minded cone paper: an FSC-type wood-pulp (cellulose) sheet left natural and unbleached, in Cup1/Cup4 for V60-style cones. The unbleached-and-sustainable framing is the selling point rather than a brew behaviour, and Cafec prints no fast/medium/slow class, so we leave flow unrated. Because it's natural paper, a thorough pre-brew rinse is worth it to wash off any papery note. It drops into the V60-cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there.
