- 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
- Kono's Meimon cone paper for the Meimon dripper, sold in MD-25 (about 2 cups) and MD-45 (about 4 cups). It's a conical paper that shares the V60 seat, so it drops into a standard V60-class cone as well as a Kono — handy if the Kono paper is easier to find than the reverse. Kono publishes no flow rating for it and there's no reliable within-seat ranking against other cone papers, so we leave flow unrated rather than guess. Pick the size to your batch, and a rinse before brewing is the usual habit for any single-use cone paper.
