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

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.
