- Kalita's classic trapezoid (wedge) papers — 101 for 1-2 cups, 102 for 2-4 — for flat-walled wedge drippers, distinct from the crinkled Wave line. The wedge shape drains through a slot at the base rather than three round holes; it's an older, budget-friendly format shared with the Melitta seat. Kalita publishes no flow class for these and there's no reliable within-seat ranking, so flow is left unrated. If your dripper is a wedge (sloped, ridged, slot at the bottom), this is the paper; if it's the round three-hole Wave, you want the Wave paper instead.

- 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.
