How it brews

The same tabbed V60 cone in 01/02/03, but made from natural, unbleached pulp — so it's brown rather than white. That bleach difference is the one objective distinction from the standard white V60; retailers describe it as FSC-certified and made in Japan without glue. Whether the natural pulp drains faster or slower than the bleached version is not something Hario states and community reports are mixed, so we leave flow unrated rather than repeat the "natural tastes papery / drains slower" folklore. As with any paper, a pre-rinse settles the bed and warms the brewer.

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.
