- The B3 version of Sibarist's abaca cone paper for V60-style cones, in S (01) and M (02). Where Sibarist's FAST papers are cut for high permeability and clarity, B3 is a lower-porosity sheet that Sibarist rates as medium flow — the trade being more contact time, more body and more retention on the same cone. That medium class and its low clog sensitivity are the maker's own framing, not measured here. It fits the V60-cone seat and interchanges with other cone papers there; a pre-brew rinse is the usual habit.

- How it brews
- An abaca-blend cone paper Hario markets as its high-flow V60 filter — the maker states it drains fast for the V60 seat, and rates it low on clogging. The mechanism is the paper itself: a more open abaca sheet lets water leave the bed sooner, so in a fast dripper like the V60 the paper stops being the bottleneck and hands rate control back to your grind and pour. Brewers chasing an open, high-clarity cup tend to reach for a fast paper like this and lean on a finer grind or slower pour to build contact time back up if they want it. It's cut for the standard V60 cone (sizes 01 and 02), so it drops straight into any 60° V60-class dripper.
