How it brews
MHW-3Bomber's flat-bottom paper in the 155 class, a cellulose sheet for flat-bed brewers. It sits in the flat-basket family and interchanges with other 155-class flat papers there rather than with cones. MHW-3Bomber publishes no fast/medium/slow class, so we leave flow unrated. The flat bed spreads the coffee wide the way flat-bottom papers do; a pre-brew rinse is the usual habit.

How it brews
The flat-bottom sibling of the FAST cone: a smooth, non-fluted paper using the same abaca technology, sized S (≈Kalita 155) and M (≈Kalita 185) for wave-style flat drippers, plus a larger size for basket machines. Because the wall is smooth rather than pleated, Sibarist markets it as keeping water in even contact with the whole bed and reducing bypass while still draining fast — a mechanism claim from the maker, not a measured result. It drops into a Kalita Wave 155/185 seat, so it's an option anywhere those papers fit. Single-use, made in Barcelona.
