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

An abaca-blend cone paper Hario markets as its high-flow V60 filter — the maker states it drains fast for the V60 seat, and rates it low on clogging. The mechanism is the paper itself: a more open abaca sheet lets water leave the bed sooner, so in a fast dripper like the V60 the paper stops being the bottleneck and hands rate control back to your grind and pour. Brewers chasing an open, high-clarity cup tend to reach for a fast paper like this and lean on a finer grind or slower pour to build contact time back up if they want it. It's cut for the standard V60 cone (sizes 01 and 02), so it drops straight into any 60° V60-class dripper.
