Filter coffee beans
27 coffees · from 3 roasters
Filter roasts are usually lighter than espresso roasts. A lighter roast keeps more of a coffee's acidity and aromatics, so the differences between origins, varieties and processing are easier to taste.
They suit any brewer that uses more water and a longer contact time: pour overs such as the V60, the AeroPress, a French press or a batch brewer.
These are the coffees that roasters on A Cup Of Stories have marked as roasted for filter.

Questions
Can I use filter roast coffee for espresso?
You can, but light roasts are harder to extract in a short shot and can taste sour. Grind finer, use hotter water and try a longer ratio such as 1:2.5.
How long should I rest filter coffee after roasting?
Most roasters suggest about a week after the roast date for lighter roasts, so gas from roasting can escape, then using the coffee within a month or so.
What grind size is right for filter coffee?
It depends on the brewer: medium-fine for a V60 or AeroPress, coarse for a French press. Our brew guides give a starting point for each.
