How it brews

Origami's official cone paper, made by Cafec in Japan from unbleached, chlorine-free virgin pulp with a two-sided crepe texture, in S (02) and M (CUP4) sizes. Origami's cone drippers take V60-size cone papers, so it drops into a V60-cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there. Cafec advertises "improved water flow" from the crepe but publishes no fast/medium/slow class, so we leave flow unrated rather than infer one. (Origami also sells a separate wave-shaped paper for the same dripper — this entry is the conical one.)

How it brews

The middle paper in Cafec's roast-tuned ABACA line by drain speed — denser than the fast T-90, more open than the slow, light-roast T-92 — which Cafec pairs with dark roasts. Its flow starts brisk but tends to brake as fine particles accumulate in the bed, so on very fine or fines-heavy grinds it can slow toward the end of the drawdown. Dark-roast coffee gives up its solubles easily, and this middling contact time aims to develop body without pushing a developed roast into bitterness. On a light roast the balance shifts — the shorter, uneven contact can read as thin — which is exactly why Cafec sells three papers instead of one.
