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
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.
