Key Features

  • CAFEC Abaca Filter Paper has been very popular all over the world for years as the symbolic product of CAFEC thanks to the fast-water flow by the good balanced Two-Side crepe and because of an eco-friendly product.
  • However, CAFEC, as the pioneer of filter paper, always aims higher. We have kept making an effort to develop a much better filter paper with much more added-value, and as a company who aims to contribute to the SDGs, we want to make a much eco-friendly product.
  • Abaca+ filter paper is made by the new manufacturing technology “Fine-Grained” method; we succeeded to increase the paper surface area by narrowing the distance between each crepe, and more, created even water flow by uniforming the texture of paper. Abaca+ filter paper is for professionals.
  • 
The roasting level filter paper is designed to control flow speed by the different framework of paper itself, while, the Abaca+ filter paper is designed to create a faster water flow so it is easy for professionals to control water flow by their skilled ability.
  • Abaca+ filter paper not only includes abaca, but also has the FSC certificate. And more, the total volume of package is also decreased by lowering the height of crepe. Then, it will contribute to transportation cost reduction. It can be said that the Abaca+ filter paper is a next-generation product.
  • Specialty Coffee Paper Filters for Specialty Coffee! This is not just paper, it is specialty paper filters for a cup of specialty coffee: Filter paper made of REFINED PULP (White version): The more commonly seen brewer filters are refined to remove the brown color. It keeps the original flavor of the coffee grounds and makes a very robust pourover drip coffee. NO USED PULP, DYES OR CHEMICALS ARE EVER USED IN THESE PAPER FILTERS. Completely biodegradable.
  • FSC Certified: The FSC certificate shows that the banana-tree fiber to make the paper is only sourced from well-managed, eco-friendly forests. 100% sustainable: No wood is used in the paper making process: ABACA: Manilla Hemp, is extracted from the leaf-stems of a certain species of banana tree, leaving the wood and tree completely intact.
  • ⚡ Fast flow

You can thank Mr. Hoffman for recommending the t-90s and Abacas. Now they're either sold out or double/triple the normal price to meet increased demand. Anybody have a decent alternative for the t-90 that's not Sibarist?
