Filter FAQ

What makes filter coffee different from espresso?

Filter coffee is brewed using slower extraction methods like pour-over, drip coffee, and Chemex, allowing for a cleaner, more balanced flavor profile compared to the intensity of espresso. The lower pressure and longer brewing time extract more delicate tasting notes, making it ideal for highlighting the complexity and unique terroir of specialty coffee beans.

Which coffee beans are best for filter brewing?

The best filter coffee beans are light to medium roasted, as they retain the natural flavors of the coffee. In this collection, Morning Sun Yellow Bourbon brings bright tropical notes, while Gatekeeper Geisha Natural offers a floral and fruity elegance. If you prefer a caramelized sweetness, Encore 2001 Aerobic is a perfect choice. Each coffee in this selection is carefully processed to enhance clarity and depth in filter brewing methods.

What grind size should I use for filter coffee?

The optimal grind size depends on the brewing method:

  • Pour-over (Hario V60, Chemex): Medium-fine grind for balanced extraction.
  • Drip coffee maker: Medium grind to ensure steady water flow.
  • French press: Coarse grind to prevent over-extraction.
    Fresh grinding just before brewing is essential for preserving flavor and aroma.

How should I store my filter coffee beans for maximum freshness?

To keep your coffee beans fresh, store them in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid keeping them in the fridge or freezer, as temperature fluctuations can affect flavor. Our filter coffees, like Fazenda Santa Tereza and Odilá Red Catuaí, are best enjoyed within four weeks of roasting to maintain their complex tasting notes.

Why is single-origin coffee ideal for filter brewing?

Single-origin coffee, like those in this collection, comes from one specific region or farm, allowing you to experience the distinctive flavors of that area. For example, Maragogipe Southern Boundaries offers unique red fruit and tamarind notes due to its Brazilian terroir. Filter brewing methods emphasize clarity and subtle flavor nuances, making single-origin coffees perfect for those seeking a more refined coffee experience.
