About Us

Cafec is the specialty coffee brand created by Sanyo Sangyo Co., Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer with a rich history of innovation dating back to 1973. Best known for developing the world's first cone-shaped paper filter for coffee brewing, Sanyo Sangyo has spent more than 50 years refining the science of coffee extraction and helping coffee lovers achieve better brewing results.

Driven by a philosophy of precision, craftsmanship and continuous innovation, every Cafec product is thoughtfully designed from the ground up. From the shape of a dripper to the density of a filter paper, each detail is carefully considered to enhance flavour, improve extraction and create a more enjoyable brewing experience.

Today, Cafec offers an extensive range of premium Japanese-made brewing equipment trusted by home brewers, cafés and coffee professionals around the world. The range includes the iconic Flower Dripper, the renowned Deep Dripper Pro, handcrafted Tsubame stainless steel kettles, manual coffee grinders, servers and a complete collection of brewing accessories designed to elevate every cup.

Cafec is also recognised globally for its pioneering filter paper technology. Drawing on decades of expertise in paper manufacturing, Cafec developed the world's first roast-specific filter papers, designed to optimise extraction for light, medium and dark roasted coffees. By carefully adjusting paper density, crepe structure and thickness, these filters help highlight the unique characteristics of each coffee, delivering greater clarity, balance and sweetness in the cup.

At Cafec, brewing equipment and filter papers are not simply accessories—they are precision tools designed to unlock the full potential of specialty coffee.
