How to pick filter coffee
Filter brewing (V60, Chemex, batch, AeroPress) highlights clarity and aromatics rather than body, so it rewards lighter roasts and brighter, more complex coffees — washed Africans and high-grown Latin Americans especially. Buy whole bean, grind medium-coarse just before brewing, and use a 1:16–1:17 coffee-to-water ratio as a starting point.
Frequently asked questions
- What grind size for filter coffee?
- Medium for a flat-bottom dripper or batch brewer, medium-fine for a V60, coarser for a cafetière. Grinding fresh matters more than the exact setting — dial in until the brew tastes sweet, not sour or bitter.
