CAFEC Cup1 Paper Filter Set, 4 x 40 Pieces. 160 pieces of CAFEC brand paper filters, designed for conical coffee drippers. This pack of the highest quality coffee filters, created and manufactured from Japanese paper under the supervision of coffee enthusiasts and distinguished specialists, is yours to choose from. It's all in one. This set includes four types of CAFEC paper filters. A total of four CAFEC paper filters: T-92, T-90, T-83, and Abaca Plus. By changing the paper structure, we realized the different water flow in each. With the same coffee beans, you can enjoy four different flavors brewed through different paper filters. We hope you'll find the best paper filter for your favorite beans. Why CAFEC paper filters? Our company owns cafes, roasteries, and restaurants. We conduct research and development for coffee lovers, so you can enjoy coffee anytime, anywhere. We produce high-quality paper filters for specialty coffees. There are many types of coffee filter paper available on the market, but it would be a mistake to think they're just paper, and there's not much difference, even if you use paper. Our CAFEC filter paper has a "double-sided crepe." While other standard paper only has crepe on one side, CAFEC paper retains its double-sided crepe thanks to our unique papermaking technology (air-drying). By perfectly balancing the crepe height on both sides, it maintains a sufficient air layer between the paper and the dripper to allow water to flow at the ideal speed. This means that "double-sided crepe" can be considered a sign of good filter paper. It's paper, but not just paper! Filter paper made of REFINED PULP (white version): Preserves the original flavor of ground coffee and makes drip coffee very strong. NO WAYFUL MATERIALS, DYES, OR CHEMICALS ARE USED IN THE PAPER FILTERS. Completely biodegradable. QUALITY: Each pack contains 40 of the finest disposable cone-shaped coffee filters ever made. Made in Japan by the inventors of the cone-shaped coffee maker, Sanyo Sangyo has engineered the perfect amount of fine pleats—on BOTH sides of the paper—for the smoothest, sediment-free coffee—and allows water to pass through the dripper faster than conventional filter paper—so you can enjoy hotter coffee, faster! UNIVERSAL CONE SHAPE: Designed in conjunction with our own porcelain flower-shaped coffee drippers, available in 5 stunning colors, this filter also fits all V60 02 cone-shaped coffee drippers: Hario, Chemex, etc. This filter creates a perfect layer of ground coffee so the water spreads throughout the entire grain—the key to creating a perfect, smooth-bodied cup of coffee. ECO-FRIENDLY AND WOOD-FRIENDLY ABACA PAPER: This eco-friendly "green" product is made from the Manila hemp plant known as ABACA. One of ABACA's many advantages is that it has the strength of wood while being exceptionally liquid-permeable and flexible. Packed in Oita, Japan, only filters that pass rigorous quality inspection are shipped. FSC Certified: FSC certification demonstrates that the banana fiber used in the paper comes exclusively from well-managed, environmentally friendly forests. T-92 (now TH-1) Thickness-1: Thickness 0.15mm Density: High Single-Sided Crepe (no crepe inside or outside). There is no crepe inside the paper, so the internal surface area is small. Fine coffee powder settles in this small area, so a small amount of water remains, which accumulates inside the filter paper. By accumulating water, a wealth of aroma is released. Moreover, thanks to the external crepe, the coffee liquid flows smoothly out. Because the paper density is high, almost all the fine powder is perfectly removed, leaving you with a clean cup of coffee. T-90 (now TH-2) Thickness-3: Thickness 0.28mm Density: Low Double-Sided Crepe (well-balanced height). The well-balanced double-sided crepe ensures smooth water flow. The surface area is the largest among the three papers, so the water path can be maintained until the end, even if all the fine powder is applied. The smooth water flow creates a well-balanced, rich cup. T-83 (now TH-3) Thickness-2: Thickness 0.22 mm Density: Medium Double-Sided Crepe (Low Height) This paper is creped on both sides, but the crepe height is set to a lower level. The surface area is slightly larger than that of One-Sided Crepe, meaning the fine powder's adhesion area is also larger. In the first half of brewing, because the fine powder's adhesion is not as strong, the water flows more smoothly, but in the second half, its adhesion becomes stronger, inhibiting the water flow. The initial rapid, then slower water flow complements the coffee's body and sweetness. Abaca+ Abaca+ filter paper is made using a new "fine-grain" production technology. We have managed to increase the paper's surface area by narrowing the distance between the individual crepes, and, more importantly, we have achieved a uniform water flow by unifying the paper's texture. Abaca+ filter paper is not only made from abaca but is also FSC® certified. Furthermore, the overall packaging volume is reduced by reducing the crepe height, which helps reduce shipping costs. Abaca+ filter paper is a next-generation product. The CAFEC brand was launched as an original Sanyo Sangyo product. Sanyo Sangyo Co., Ltd. was founded in 1973 as a manufacturer of synthetic coffee equipment and has been continuously developing ever since. We were the first manufacturer in the world to develop a cone-shaped paper filter, and our main product, the "paper coffee filter," has been marketed both in Japan and abroad for many years. Founder and CEO Shigeij Nakatsuka has extensive experience in coffee roasting and alternative coffee brewing. He wanted to optimize the paper filter for different roasting levels, so he developed "double-creped" coffee filters that regulate water and air flow. The space between the filter and the dripper, thanks to its design and surface, is ideal for light, medium and dark roasted coffee.
