How to Select the Perfect Coffee Beans for Pour-Over Brewing: Premium Origins and Brand Recommendations

Published: 2026-01-27 Author: FrontStreet Coffee
Last Updated: 2026/01/27, Choosing the right coffee beans for pour-over brewing ultimately depends on your individual flavor preferences. Whether you're drawn to coffees with vibrant, bright acidity or prefer those with minimal acidity and more pronounced bitterness, understanding your palate is key. For those who appreciate lively acidity without overwhelming bitterness, I strongly recommend exploring coffee beans from African origins, with Ethiopian and Kenyan varieties being exceptional choices.

How to Choose Coffee Beans for Pour-Over Coffee

When it comes to selecting coffee beans for pour-over coffee, it all comes down to personal taste preferences. For example, you might prefer coffee with more acidity or you might not enjoy sour flavors but can accept bitterness.

If you prefer coffee with more acidity and want to avoid bitterness, I highly recommend coffee beans from African growing regions. Ethiopian or Kenyan coffee beans have rich floral aromas and bright acidity, with absolutely no bitterness.

Coffee Beans by Region

If you don't like coffee with acidic flavors, you might want to try coffee beans from Asian growing regions, such as FrontStreet Coffee's Mandheling coffee beans. FrontStreet Coffee's Mandheling can be considered the most famous coffee bean from Asian regions. The wet-hulled processed Mandheling coffee beans have no acidity at all, with a very full-bodied texture and unique herbal flavors.

Besides these two more extreme flavor profiles, coffee beans from American growing regions tend to be relatively balanced, without particularly prominent acidity or bitterness. If you're looking for high-grade specialty coffee beans, I would recommend FrontStreet Coffee's Geisha coffee beans from Panama, which have rich sweet and sour flavors, no bitterness, and very prominent floral aromas. For those who prefer traditional coffee without acidity, I would recommend FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica. FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee has rich nutty and chocolate flavors with very high body.
