Engineering Precision in Filter Coffee Since the Beginning

CAFEC Japan, a brand by Sanyo Sangyo Co., Ltd. (est. 1973), pioneered cone-shaped paper filters for the V60 dripper—an innovation that helped shape modern pour-over coffee. Backed by decades of technical development and expertise in filter paper production, CAFEC brings together material science, extraction theory, and precise manufacturing to support brewers seeking clarity, consistency, complexity, and control.

Paper Filters Designed for Extraction

CAFEC is best known for its advanced filter paper technology. Their flagship product, the Abaca Paper Filter, combines traditional pulp with Abaca (Manila hemp)—a naturally strong, sustainable fiber. The result is a high-flow, low-resistance filter that improves extraction consistency while maintaining clarity in the final cup. Abaca filters are biodegradable, durable, and produced through an environmentally responsible process that minimises chemical use and water consumption.

Beyond Abaca, CAFEC offers a series of roast-specific filters, each calibrated for different flow rates and thicknesses to optimise extraction across light, medium, and dark roasts. This targeted design reflects their engineering-driven approach to brewing.

Innovative Brewing Tools

CAFEC’s brewing equipment is developed with a focus on functionality, thermal performance, and extraction control. Key products include Flower Dripper, designed for consistent flow and even saturation; the Deep 27 Dripper, featuring a steeper angle to increase brew depth and enhance extraction dynamics; and the Oval Dripper, engineered for improved temperature stability and a more uniform coffee bed.

Each brewer is the result of research-driven design and manufactured to meet the standards of professionals seeking precision and repeatability.

Trusted Around the Globe

CAFEC’s paper filters are trusted by specialty cafés, competition-level brewers, and discerning home users worldwide. Their ongoing investment in research and development, combined with a commitment to manufacturing excellence, positions them as a leading innovator in the field of hand-brewing technology.

Import VAT, customs duties, brokerage charges and other local import fees are not included in our prices or shipping charges unless explicitly stated otherwise at checkout.

Any such charges imposed by the destination country are the responsibility of the recipient.

Customs procedures may also extend the estimated delivery time.

Incorrect or Incomplete Delivery Address

Please check your shipping address carefully before completing your order.

If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address, refusal of delivery, or failure to collect the parcel, additional shipping costs may apply before the order can be sent again.

Returns

14-Day Right of Withdrawal – EU Consumers

If you are purchasing as a consumer, you normally have the legal right to withdraw from an online purchase within 14 days without providing a reason.

The 14-day withdrawal period starts on the day after you, or a person designated by you, receives the goods. If one order is delivered in several shipments, the period starts after receipt of the final item.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, please inform us within this 14-day period through our online withdrawal function or by contacting us at info@kohiraifu.com and clearly stating that you wish to withdraw from your purchase.

Please include your order number whenever possible.

After notifying us of your withdrawal, you have a further 14 days to send the goods back.

Return address:
Kohiraifu
Noordkade 68
2741 EZ Waddinxveen
Netherlands

For change-of-mind returns, the direct cost and risk of returning the goods are the responsibility of the customer. We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping service and keeping your proof of shipment.

Condition of Returned Products

You may inspect a product to the extent reasonably necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and functioning, similar to what would normally be possible in a physical shop.

Please return the product complete, including its accessories and, wherever reasonably possible, its original packaging.

If a product has been handled or used beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect it and this results in a reduction in value, we may deduct the corresponding diminished value from the refund.

Refunds During the 14-Day Withdrawal Period

For a valid withdrawal of the complete order, we will refund:

• the purchase price of the returned products; and
• the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option originally available for the order.

Additional delivery charges resulting from choosing a more expensive delivery method, such as express shipping, are not refundable.

If only part of an order is returned, the original delivery charge is not refunded.

The direct cost of returning the order to Kohiraifu is the responsibility of the customer unless the product is faulty, damaged, incorrect, or we have agreed otherwise.

Refunds will be made using the original payment method. We may withhold the refund until we have received the returned goods or until you provide evidence that the goods have been sent back, whichever occurs first.

Voluntary Returns – Up to 30 Days

In addition to your statutory rights, Kohiraifu may accept eligible products for return for up to 30 days after delivery.

Returns requested after the statutory 14-day withdrawal period are part of our voluntary return policy and require prior approval.

For returns between day 15 and day 30:

• The product must be unused, complete and in resalable condition, preferably with its original packaging.
• The customer is responsible for the return shipping costs.
• Original shipping charges are not refundable.

We reserve the right to decline voluntary returns that do not meet these conditions.

This voluntary return policy does not limit any statutory consumer rights.

Coffee, Matcha, Food & Consumable Products

Certain statutory exceptions to the right of withdrawal may apply to products that deteriorate or expire rapidly, or to sealed products that are not suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons once their seal has been broken.

Opened coffee, matcha, food products and other consumable products cannot be accepted under our voluntary return policy once opened or used.

This does not affect your rights if the product supplied is faulty, damaged, incorrect or otherwise does not conform to your order.

Damaged, Faulty or Incorrect Products

If your order arrives damaged, faulty, incomplete or different from what you ordered, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible at info@kohiraifu.com.

Please include:

• your order number,
• a description of the issue, and
• photos or video where this can help us assess the problem.

Please keep the product and its original packaging until we have reviewed the case.

Where the product is confirmed to be faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied, Kohiraifu will arrange an appropriate solution and cover reasonable return shipping costs where a return is required.

Your statutory warranty and conformity rights are not affected by this policy.

Exchanges

If you would like a different product, colour or variation, please contact us first.

Depending on the product and stock availability, we may arrange an exchange or ask you to return the original product and place a new order.

Wholesale & Business Orders

The statutory consumer cooling-off period does not apply to purchases made for business or professional purposes.

Wholesale and other B2B returns are therefore subject to separate conditions and require prior written approval from Kohiraifu.

This does not affect claims relating to products that were damaged, faulty or incorrectly supplied.
