How it brews
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
Sibarist's high-permeability abaca paper cut to the trapezoid (wedge) shape for Melitta-style brewers, in S/M/L. It's the same fast, low-clog abaca sheet as the rest of the FAST line, just shaped for a wedge bed rather than a cone — Sibarist positions it as draining faster than a standard wedge paper so you can grind finer without stalling (the maker's own claim, not measured here). It fits the Melitta-wedge seat and interchanges with other wedge papers there. Single-use, with the usual pre-brew rinse.
