Filter Coffee Beans for Pour-Over & V60
Filter coffee beans, freshly roasted in Kreuzau: this category brings together coffees that come into their own in a pour-over dripper, a Chemex, a Kalita or a classic drip machine. For filter we usually roast lighter than for espresso, so that the character of the origin is preserved and the cup turns out clean, sweet and layered rather than bitter.

Lighter roasts tend to show fruit and blossom, medium roasts more nut, caramel and chocolate. Some are omni roasts that work just as well as espresso. Every product page lists origin, roast level and tasting notes, so you can choose exactly to your taste.
All filter coffees are available as whole beans or ground to order. You keep the most aroma if you grind just before brewing. We roast in small batches, and shipping within Germany is free on orders over €39.
Frequently asked questions
Which grind size suits filter coffee?
For pour-over and drip machines, a medium grind about as fine as table salt works best. If the coffee tastes sour or thin, grind a little finer; if it tastes bitter, go coarser.
How much coffee do I need per cup?
A good starting point is 60 g of coffee per litre of water, which is about 15 g for a 250 ml cup. Use water just off the boil, at roughly 92 to 96 °C.
How long does filter coffee stay fresh?
Whole beans taste best in the first few weeks after roasting. Store them airtight, cool and dark, and grind only as much as you need.
