Filter Coffee Beans
Filter coffee beans are suited to pour-over and drip brewing, where a paper filter produces a clean, tea-like cup that shows a coffee's origin character, acidity, and delicate flavors.
Filter brewing is where our single origins tell their story most clearly. A paper filter strips out oils and heavy body, leaving a clean, transparent cup that shows off acidity, sweetness, and the specific flavor of the origin, like the blueberry of an Ethiopian natural or the florals of a Gesha. Our fruity and floral lots are especially rewarding as filter, and every coffee in this collection is roasted for it, so any bag here brews beautifully through a V60, Chemex, Kalita, or your drip machine.

How to Choose Coffee Beans for Filter
Filter rewards clarity, so lean toward brighter, more complex coffees. Fruity and floral single origins, such as Ethiopian heirloom or the Sidra and Gesha varieties, bloom in a pour-over, revealing layered fruit and floral notes that milk or espresso would mask. If you prefer something rounder, an omniroast chocolate and nutty lot brews sweet and smooth as filter too.
Grind matters more than the beans for a clean cup. Aim for a medium grind — like coarse sea salt — for V60 and Chemex, slightly finer for a Kalita. If your cup tastes thin or sour, grind finer; if it tastes bitter or drains slowly, grind coarser.
Ratio and temperature do the rest. Start at 1:16 — 15g of coffee to 240ml of water — at 93-96 degrees Celsius. Pour in stages, wetting all the grounds evenly, and aim to finish a single cup in around 2.5-3 minutes. Water quality matters too; very hard or very soft water flattens a bright coffee.
Frequently Asked Questions
What coffee beans are best for pour-over and filter?
Brighter, more complex single origins shine as filter: Ethiopian heirloom and varieties such as Sidra and Gesha reveal layered fruit and floral notes in a pour-over. Our omniroast chocolate and nutty lots brew sweet and smooth too. Every coffee in this collection is roasted to work as filter, and the tasting notes on the bag show where each one shines.
What grind size should I use for filter coffee?
Use a medium grind — roughly the texture of coarse sea salt — for V60 and Chemex, and slightly finer for a Kalita Wave or flat-bottom brewer. If your cup tastes thin or sour, grind a little finer; if it tastes bitter or the water drains too slowly, grind coarser. We can grind to filter fineness for you, or you can order whole bean.
What coffee-to-water ratio is best for pour-over?
Start at 1:16 — about 15g of coffee to 240ml of water — at 93-96 degrees Celsius, and adjust to taste. More coffee (1:15) gives a stronger, heavier cup; less (1:17) gives a lighter, more tea-like one. Pour in even stages and aim to finish a single cup in around 2.5-3 minutes.
Can I use the same beans for filter and espresso?
Usually, yes. Most coffees we roast are omniroast, developed to taste great as both filter and espresso, so you only change the grind: much finer for espresso, medium for pour-over. That is why a single bag can be your morning V60 and your afternoon shot. A few are roasted for one method only, and each coffee's page says which.
Do you ship filter coffee across Canada?
Yes — we ship Canada-wide from our roastery in Richmond, BC. Roasted within 1 business day of your order and shipped within 1–2 business days. Delivery is free across Metro Vancouver with no minimum, and shipping anywhere else in Canada is free on orders over $50.
