- 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
- 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.
