How it brews

Cafec's basic cone paper: a white, oxygen-bleached wood-pulp (cellulose) sheet in 01/02 sizes, distinct from the pricier ABACA line that swaps in abaca fibre. It drops into any V60-style cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there. Cafec publishes no fast/medium/slow class for this wood-pulp cone, so we leave flow unrated rather than infer one from how the ABACA papers behave. Treat it as the everyday, lower-cost option in Cafec's cone range; a quick pre-brew rinse is common to knock back any paper note.

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.
