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.
