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

Origami's official cone paper, made by Cafec in Japan from unbleached, chlorine-free virgin pulp with a two-sided crepe texture, in S (02) and M (CUP4) sizes. Origami's cone drippers take V60-size cone papers, so it drops into a V60-cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there. Cafec advertises "improved water flow" from the crepe but publishes no fast/medium/slow class, so we leave flow unrated rather than infer one. (Origami also sells a separate wave-shaped paper for the same dripper — this entry is the conical one.)
