“It is said that taste of coffee is fixed by roasting, but it is not the final goal. To control brewing speed and water temperature are also very important.”

The founder of CAFEC; Shigeji Nakatsuka, as the man who has done roasting and hand-drip coffee by himself for years, always think “how easily enjoy delicious coffee at home?” and this also becomes his dream to let everyone enjoy coffee easily at home.

“Easily…at home…how…?”

As a pioneer of high-qualitied paper filter, Nakatsuka wanted to find an answer with paper to this question; he continued to study paper construction and at last succeeded to develop three kinds of paper filters to control each proper brewing speed for light-roast, medium-dark roast and dark roast by changing the drying process of paper making.

The paper filters are epochal products which only CAFEC can make, who has pursued paper quality and good taste of coffee for many years!

“Want to see your smile by daily coffee!” CAFEC pass this thought on to you.

WHY CAFEC PAPER FILTER?

Our Company owns Coffee shops, Roasting Room and Restaurants  We do R&D for our coffee lovers so you can enjoy coffee anytime and anywhere. We produce high-quality paper filters for specialty coffee. There are many kinds of coffee filter paper in markets, but it would be a big mistake if you think it is just paper and there is not much difference even if which paper you use. Our CAFEC filter paper has a “Two-Side Crepe”. Though another normal paper has crepe on one side only, but the CAFEC paper keeps Two-Side Crepe by our original papermaking technology (Air-through dry). Thanks to the best balance of the height of crepe on both sides, it can keep enough air layer between paper and dripper so water can flow at an ideal speed. That is, “Two-Side Crepe” can be said proof of good filter paper. It is a paper, but not just a paper!

JHDC Authorized Product

It is the filter paper authorized by JHDC（Japan Hand-Drip Championship） and is rated high as a paper that can brew out “high-quality coffee with good acidity”.

Fine-Grained Crepe

CAFEC succeeds to make an even and fine-grained crepes by widening the speed gap between the rotating roll and the dryer drum. This time, we succeeded to make much faster water flow by increasing the paper surface area not by the height of crepe, but by narrowing the distance between each crepe.

Manufacturing process
for Abaca+ filter paper

FILTER PAPER

Original Papermaking technology realizes
“Two-Side Crepe” Air Through Dry

In normal papermaking process, paper is dried on a heating roller so crepe on one side is pressed down. On the other hand, CAFEC paper added crepe on both sides dried by hot blast, not pressed on a heater, so the crepe on both sides of paper can be kept as it is and enough height of crepe is maintained. Thanks to the best height balance of Two-Side Crepe, almost all fine coffee powder is attached on the crepe, so you can enjoy a clear cup of coffee without muddiness. Moreover, the Two-Side Crepe allows water to flow smoothly.

Advantage of CAFEC paper filter

Papermaking of CAFEC paper filter

Air Through Dry Wet paper is dried by hot air in a flat state,
so, two side crepe is kept after dried well.

The texture of CAFEC paper mesh is fine, so water can flow stably and speedy.

Papermaking of normal paper filter

Wet paper is dried on the rotary drum by adding pressure, so crepe at the drum side is crushed then a paper has only one side crepe. And more, the height of crepe is also lower because the paper is dried by being stretched.

The texture of another paper mesh is not fine, so water cannot flow stably; water might be collected.
