COMPLEXITY
A fast extraction speed prevents water from ponding in the dripper slurry. This allows purer water to contact the coffee particles with each new pour, maximizing the concentration gradient between the water and the coffee. This optimizes diffusion, enabling sufficient extraction yields even in a short amount of time. Even with a finer grind, the high flow rate suppresses the extraction of negative flavor compounds while promoting the extraction of positive ones. As a result, you will experience a far more complex flavor profile.
VISCOSITY
The precisely engineered weave of our lyocell filter is designed to intentionally allow micro-particles under 20 micrometers to pass through, which dramatically improves the coffee's texture and body. You can experience a silky, velvety mouthfeel even in light roasts. Ultimately, this rich body will bring an overall balance to your coffee.
CLARITY
The secret to HIFLUX's exceptional flavor clarity lies in its material: lyocell. Lyocell has a higher permeability to lipids compared to traditional paper filters. This is due to its fundamentally different fiber structure. Whereas conventional paper filters are made of wood pulp fibers with microscopic surface fuzz, lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fiber—dissolved and extruded into smooth, continuous threads. This difference minimizes the surface area for lipid adhesion, allowing more oils to pass through. Since lipids act as carriers for aromatic compounds, this results in a brew that retains more aroma and flavor for longer. With lyocell, you’ll experience a cup that is not only more aromatic and intense, but also more lasting and clear in flavor expression.
