How it brews
Hario's cellulose paper for the Pegasus dripper, in sizes 01, 02 and 03 cut for the Melitta-style wedge seat — so it fits wedge drippers rather than the V60 cone Hario is better known for. The wedge format seats a folded flat-bottom paper, which pools and drains the bed differently from a single-hole cone. Hario states no flow class for the Pegasus paper and there's no dependable within-seat ranking against other wedge papers, so we leave flow unrated rather than invent one. Choose the size to your dripper and batch, and give it the usual pre-brew rinse.

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.
