Cafec

The Nagoya paper mill Sanyo Sangyo, brewing as Cafec, engineers pour-over filters like lab consumables. Its Abaca papers blend Manila-hemp fiber for high, low-resistance flow, and its roast-specific line tunes the paper's drying process so light, medium, and dark roasts each draw down at their ideal speed.
