How it brews

The flat-bottom basket paper for Moccamaster's CDGT batch brewer, sized for the larger "Grand" basket rather than a wedge cone. It seats in the flat-basket family and interchanges with other basket papers of that fit, not with wedge or cone brewers. Moccamaster publishes no fast/medium/slow class, so we leave flow unrated. Like other batch baskets, the flat bed spreads the coffee wide and it needs no special handling.

How it brews

The Copenhagen roastery's own flat-bottom paper, sold Small (≈Kalita 155 / Origami S) and Large (size 175, for the April plastic brewer). It's cut to sit deep with a wide base and is marketed as flowing faster than conventional flat papers — that speed claim is April's, kept as a class rather than a number here. One honest ambiguity: older retailer copy described April filters as using Sibarist's abaca FAST technology, while the current listing says virgin wood pulp (cellulose); we record cellulose per the direct listing but don't treat abaca as confirmed. It drops into a Kalita Wave 155/185 seat, so it interchanges with those papers.
