5 Packs of CAFEC 100-Pack Cone-shaped V60 02 Style Universal 1 to 4 Cup Disposable Pour-Over Drip Coffee Paper Filter made of Eco-Friendly Refined Virgin Pulp (White) AC4-100W

I only had a stash of the old untabbed Hario because I grabbed them from my garage recycle bin (almost ready to be thrown out). Thought it'd be a waste to toss out half-decade old filters when my new dripper came with these new-looking tabbed. Most coffee-vested folk should know the consistency concerns over the new tabbed versions (versions, as in made in Japan or Europe). I tried the new Japanese make myself, the time was different enough and with every other variable during brewing present, I did not want to also think about the paper.To hammer the point about cost: as of this post, Amazon sells the Hario tabbed 3x 100-pk for $16, Cafec 100-pk is around $10 each. Tabbed filters can be a lot cheaper compared to the Cafec but I don't like them no matter how cheap. That's my personal choice and ability to pick. Given the cost per cup beans included, paper filters are near the bottom of costs. Test-driving a few filters, the times match up to the old tabless Hario as many have attested. Price is close enough for those who previously paid a premium to source old stock.It's good to have this consistent Cafec option. Bought from a third-party seller on here that looked fine and shipped promptly. I don't believe Amazon carries it directly so thank you to the independent retailers for taking inventory on a less popular (relatively) but better product.

These pair well with my generic ceramic v60, and have a good flow rate of 2 min on medium grind setting. It makes a delicious cup of coffee.
