Combines a traditional aesthetic with a timeless look
Brew your way to a rich, complex, and harmonious flavour experience
The Flower Series has reached its final chapter with an all-new dripper that combines CAFEC’s brewing theory with the flower-shaped ribs and fan-shaped design.
Its design combines a traditional aesthetic with a timeless look: the flower ribs allow coffee grounds to bloom freely, while the fan shape momentarily holds water, extracting every bit of flavour from the beans. Additionally, the specially designed ribs and extraction holes at the bottom ensure smooth water flow, preventing clogging and maintaining a consistent brewing speed.
As you explore the art of controlled extraction, enjoy the smooth mouthfeel, complex and deep richness this dripper delivers.
Precision-Designed Dripper Features
Dual Rib System
- The flower ribs allow coffee grounds to expand fully, ensuring even water saturation for a balanced extraction.
- The bottom linear ribs guide the brewed coffee smoothly toward the extraction hole, preventing stagnation.
Optimised Extraction Holes
The number of holes is optimised for each size to achieve ideal extraction speed:
- 101 model: Single-hole design
- 102 model: Dual-hole design
Additional ribbing around the extraction hole ensures a clear path for the coffee flow, preventing over-extraction at the bottom.
Perfect Fit with CAFEC Trapezoid Paper Filters
The dripper structure is designed without compromising its fit with CAFEC filter papers.
- From a top view, the dripper has a slightly oval shape to maintain a deep filtration layer, even in a fan-shaped form.
- The angle is precisely calibrated to create the best fit with CAFEC filter papers, enhancing the brewing process.

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.
