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

The default V60 paper for most people: a thin, oxygen-bleached cone in the 01/02/03 sizes that matches the V60 dripper's ridges and big single hole. The V60 system is widely regarded as a comparatively fast cone, and these thin papers impose little flow restriction, so your grind and pour do most of the steering — that fast-flow reputation is community consensus, not a printed Hario flow rating. The only objective difference from the natural Misarashi version is the oxygen bleach (which is why the paper is white); any "cleaner-tasting" claim beyond a proper rinse is not asserted here.
