  • What makes a coffee good for pour over

    A paper filter strips out oils and fines, leaving a clean, transparent cup. That suits coffees with distinct acidity and aromatics – washed Kenyans, Ethiopians, Colombians, Peruvians and Rwandans – where you want to taste origin and variety rather than body. Our pour over buyer's guide covers choosing beans in more depth.

  • Roasting for pour over

    Most roasters keep pour over coffees light to medium-light to protect aromatics and acidity. Underdevelopment shows up quickly as grassy or sour flavours, so make sure there's enough time after first crack to round out sweetness. Filter roasts usually need less rest than espresso – a few days is often enough.

  • Pour over vs other filter styles

    Pour over is the cleanest of the filter methods. If you prefer a softer, rounder cup, see our mild filter range; for fruit-forward, expressive cups, see fruity filter; for more body, try French press.

Your questions, answered

What are the best green coffee beans for pour over?

Clean, high-grown washed coffees with clear acidity – Kenyan, Ethiopian, Colombian, Peruvian and Rwandan lots are reliable choices.

Should I roast light for pour over?

Light to medium-light is typical, but light isn't the goal in itself – aim for full development without losing acidity and aromatics.

Are natural process coffees good for pour over?

Yes, if you enjoy fruit-forward cups. Naturals give more body and sweetness than washed lots, at the cost of some clarity.

How long should I rest coffee for pour over?

Usually 3–7 days. Very fresh coffee blooms aggressively and can taste uneven; dense, light roasts sometimes open up after a week or more.

Is Geisha worth it for pour over?

Geisha's floral, tea-like character is at its best in pour over, so it's where the price makes most sense. See our Geisha range.

Do you offer samples or trial batches before committing to larger orders?

Yes, we offer samples for most of our coffees. If you need a larger sample than what’s typically available, we recommend trying one of the smaller quantity options listed on our site. That way, you can test the coffee before committing to a larger order.

What sizes or quantities can I order?

All our green coffee beans come in 0.5kg, 1kg and 5kg bags. Approved wholesale accounts can also order 10kg and 20kg at lower per-kilo prices, and for full sacks or anything larger, just get in touch – we'll help you put a custom order together.
