In the world of coffee brewing, every detail matters. From the bean selection to the brewing method, each element contributes to the final cup. One often overlooked yet crucial component is the coffee filter paper. In this blog post, we delve into the fascinating world of CAFEC’s filter paper and explore why it’s more than just a sheet – it’s a key player in the pursuit of the perfect cup.
The Two-Side Crepe Magic:
Not all filter papers are created equal, and CAFEC stands out with its innovative “Two-Side Crepe” technology. While other papers boast crepe on only one side, CAFEC’s original papermaking technique, known as Air-Through Dry, maintains crepe on both sides. This unique approach results in a delicate balance of crepe height, creating an ideal air layer between the paper and dripper.
The Science Behind Two-Side Crepe:
- Balanced Crepe Height:
- Traditional papermaking often involves drying the paper on a heating roller, pressing down the crepe on one side. In contrast, CAFEC’s Air-Through Dry method utilizes hot air, preserving crepe on both sides without compression.
- The equilibrium in crepe height is crucial, as it allows for the retention of fine coffee powder. This ensures a clear cup of coffee without the unwanted muddiness.
- Smooth Water Flow:
- The Two-Side Crepe structure not only captures coffee grounds effectively but also facilitates smooth water flow. This balance enables the water to pass through at an ideal speed, contributing to a consistent and flavourful extraction.
Advantages of CAFEC Paper Filters:
- Mesh Texture:
- CAFEC’s paper mesh boasts a fine texture, ensuring a stable and speedy flow of water. This feature is essential for achieving precision in the brewing process.
- Air Through Dry vs. Rotary Hot Drum:
- CAFEC’s Air-Through Dry method preserves the Two-Side Crepe, maintaining the integrity of the filter paper. In contrast, the rotary hot drum process used in traditional paper filters often results in a crushed crepe on one side and lower crepe height due to stretching during drying.
- Fine Texture for Optimal Flow:
- The fine texture of CAFEC’s paper mesh prevents water stagnation, allowing for a consistent and efficient extraction. In contrast, coarser mesh textures in other papers may lead to uneven water flow and potential pooling.
CAFEC’s commitment to excellence in filter paper technology transforms a seemingly simple component into an essential tool for coffee enthusiasts. The Two-Side Crepe innovation, coupled with fine mesh texture and meticulous papermaking processes, elevates the brewing experience. As you embark on your coffee journey, remember that it’s not just a paper – it’s a CAFEC filter, weaving together science and artistry in every cup.
