Cafec Abaca Pour Over Paper Coffee Filters 100 pack

A premium, eco-friendly speciality coffee filter engineered with manila hemp (Abaca) to provide superior liquid permeability and a clean, sediment-free cup profile.

The Cafec Abaca Filter is widely considered a significant upgrade over standard wood-pulp filters for the discerning home barista. By incorporating Abaca (Manila Hemp) fibres, Cafec has created a paper that is thinner yet stronger, featuring a unique "two-sided crepe" texture. This specific height difference in the paper's crinkles allows for a more consistent flow of water, as it prevents the coffee grounds from sticking too closely to the paper walls. The result is a faster drawdown time and a remarkably clean cup that highlights the delicate floral and acidic notes of light-roast speciality coffees, all while being FSC-certified for environmental sustainability.

Key Technical Features

• Abaca (Manila Hemp) Composition: Utilises non-wood fibres that are naturally strong and porous, allowing for high permeability without the need for thick, slow-draining paper.

• Two-Sided Crepe Technology: Features an asymmetrical crinkle pattern on both the inside and outside of the filter, which maintains optimal air gaps between the paper and the dripper.

• Rapid Drawdown Speed: Designed to prevent "stalling" at the end of a pour, ensuring that the total brew time remains precise and the coffee is not over-extracted.

• Oxygen Whitening Process: Uses a non-chlorine, oxygen-based bleaching process to ensure the filters are neutral in taste and do not impart a "papery" flavour to the brew.

• High-Density Weave: Despite its fast flow rate, the fine mesh of the fibres effectively traps all micro-fines, resulting in a cup with exceptional clarity and no silt.

• Eco-Friendly & Sustainable: Abaca is a fast-growing, renewable resource, and these filters carry FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification.

• Universal Cone Compatibility: Designed to fit most 60-degree cone-shaped drippers (V60-style), ensuring a snug fit for consistent extraction.

• Consistent Thickness: Each filter is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring that every brew in the 100-pack performs identically.
