Description
A dark roast filter paper built for depth, not dilution
Dark roasts brewed on generic filter paper often turn thin or bitter, losing the body that makes them worth drinking. This CAFEC Cup4 dark roast filter paper is engineered specifically to hold onto that richness, slowing the pour where it matters most.
A cone-shaped Cup4 filter designed around one roast profile, not a compromise across all of them.
Slower flow, deeper cup
- Fast-to-slow flow pattern extracts sweetness before bitterness sets in
- Medium-density paper adds body without clouding clarity
- Lower crepe height on the Two-Side Crepe structure controls extraction pace
- Purpose-built for dark roast coffee, not a general-use filter
