- Cafec's abaca-fibre paper in the classic trapezoid (wedge) cut, sized 101, 102 and 103 for the Melitta-style wedge seat — so it fits Melitta and Kalita wedge drippers rather than a V60 cone. It brings Cafec's abaca sheet to the wedge format, where the folded flat-bottom shape pools the bed differently from a cone. Cafec publishes no flow rating for the trapezoid line and there's no reliable within-seat ranking against other wedge papers, so we leave flow unrated rather than guess. Match the number to your dripper size, and rinse before brewing as usual.

- How it brews
- Kalita's classic trapezoid (wedge) papers — 101 for 1-2 cups, 102 for 2-4 — for flat-walled wedge drippers, distinct from the crinkled Wave line. The wedge shape drains through a slot at the base rather than three round holes; it's an older, budget-friendly format shared with the Melitta seat. Kalita publishes no flow class for these and there's no reliable within-seat ranking, so flow is left unrated. If your dripper is a wedge (sloped, ridged, slot at the bottom), this is the paper; if it's the round three-hole Wave, you want the Wave paper instead.
