Choosing Coffee for Filter Brewing

If you prefer to make your coffee using a filter or drip brewing method, then you shall choose a coffee that has a balanced flavor profile. This means that the coffee should have a mix of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness that work well together. Ideally, the coffee should not be too acidic, as this can make the coffee taste sour or bitter. Medium-roasted coffee beans are perfect for this method, as these provide a good balance of flavor and acidity.

Some great varieties for filter brewing include Colombian, Guatemalan, and Ethiopian coffee beans.

These beans are known for their balanced flavor profiles and work well with most filter brewing methods. If you’re looking for something a little different, try a coffee from Indonesia or Sumatra, which have a rich and full-bodied flavor that is perfect for filter brewing.

Coffees that are very suitable for filter include light roasts from high altitudes. At Vicky Coffee, we love our range from Peru, Lupuna and La Locura, and our Microlot El Prinipito from El Salvador, Burundi and Rwanda.
