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.

How it brews
A budget reusable stainless cone that fits both V60-style cones and the Chemex, aimed at people who want a metal filter without the premium of an Able Kone. As with any metal filter, the mesh lets oils and fines through for a fuller, more sediment-heavy cup than paper, and it drains fast enough that a coarser grind usually behaves better. The "fast" rating is community consensus, not a lab number. It's a zero-waste, one-buy option; the trade against paper is clarity and a clean base.
