- The default V60 paper for most people: a thin, oxygen-bleached cone in the 01/02/03 sizes that matches the V60 dripper's ridges and big single hole. The V60 system is widely regarded as a comparatively fast cone, and these thin papers impose little flow restriction, so your grind and pour do most of the steering — that fast-flow reputation is community consensus, not a printed Hario flow rating. The only objective difference from the natural Misarashi version is the oxygen bleach (which is why the paper is white); any "cleaner-tasting" claim beyond a proper rinse is not asserted here.

- 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.
