- A dense abaca paper that drains slowly — in a fast dripper the paper itself can become the rate-limiter, holding water in contact with the bed for longer. Brewers tend to find more body and a rounder, more layered cup, at some cost to top-note clarity. In one roaster's blind test on a floral honey coffee — same recipe, only the paper changed — the T-92 cup read as noticeably more complex than the faster T-90 (author testimony, a single coffee, not a controlled study). Because it drains slowly it can stall on fine grinds or high-fines coffees; if drawdown creeps well past your target, grind a touch coarser.

- Cafec's higher-abaca cone paper — the "+" signalling a larger share of abaca fibre than the standard ABACA cones — sold in Cup1 and Cup4 sizes for V60-style cones. Abaca tends to build a more open, durable sheet, and Cafec's pitch across the ABACA range is flow with clarity, but the maker prints no fast/medium/slow class for this paper, so we leave flow unrated rather than guess. It fits the V60-cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there. A pre-brew rinse is the usual habit.
