How it brews
The Graycano is a conical cast-aluminium dripper, and the GC01 is its own size-2 cone paper tuned to the dripper's "Lava Rib" geometry. Graycano states that V60 size 02 and Melitta 102 filters also fit the dripper, so we record a V60-cone seat as the closest match; the GC01 is a true cone. No published flow rating, so flow is left unrated. (This is the standalone Graycano brand, not GINA's cone papers.)

How it brews
The middle paper in Cafec's roast-tuned ABACA line by drain speed — denser than the fast T-90, more open than the slow, light-roast T-92 — which Cafec pairs with dark roasts. Its flow starts brisk but tends to brake as fine particles accumulate in the bed, so on very fine or fines-heavy grinds it can slow toward the end of the drawdown. Dark-roast coffee gives up its solubles easily, and this middling contact time aims to develop body without pushing a developed roast into bitterness. On a light roast the balance shifts — the shorter, uneven contact can read as thin — which is exactly why Cafec sells three papers instead of one.
