CAFEC Light Roast Paper Filters TH-1 (Cup1 size, 100-pack) are premium Japanese cone-shaped coffee filters designed by the industry specialists at Sanyo Sangyo. The “For Aroma and Clean cup” series is meticulously engineered to bring out a complex, floral, and fruity profile from light-roasted specialty coffee beans. These Cup1 filters feature a universal cone design, making them fully compatible with CAFEC pour-over devices and all standard Hario 01 size coffee drippers.

Why Choose CAFEC Light Roast Cup1 Paper Filters?

• Maximum Aroma Extraction: The unique structural layout causes an intentional, gentle water accumulation during the initial brewing stage, fully unlocking delicate aromatic compounds.

• Flawless Clarity (Clean Cup): High paper density with a 0.15 mm thickness efficiently traps micro-fines, delivering a crystal-clear cup with zero sediment.

• One-Sided External Crepe: Smooth interior walls paired with a creped exterior optimize and stabilize the steady flow of extracted coffee out of the filter.

• Premium Sustainable Materials: Crafted from an eco-friendly blend of high-strength ABACA (Manila hemp) fibers and pure wood pulp. Fully biodegradable and taste-neutral.

Advanced One-Sided Crepe Technology and Flow Dynamics

The core innovation of the CAFEC LIGHT filter lies in its asymmetrical microscopic surface layout. The inner surface of the filter is completely non-creped (smooth), which minimizes the internal surface area. During the pour, micro-ground coffee particles adhere closely to this smooth boundary, narrowing the water paths. This causes hot water to accumulate slightly inside the filter during the first phase of brewing, a technical feature designed specifically to optimize extraction time and maximize aroma yield from light roasts.

Conversely, the outer surface is heavily creped to prevent the paper from sticking flush against the dripper walls. This dynamic air gap ensures that once the liquid passes through the high-density fiber matrix, it travels downward smoothly and consistently. The dense weave guarantees that almost all fine sediments are filtered out, leaving you with an exceptionally clean, transparent, and vibrant cup.
