Pour-Over Coffee Bean Recommendations

Last Updated: 2026/01/27, Today while chatting with friends in the group, some friends asked for recommendations on a few pour-over coffee beans. Chen Lei wanted to write a simple article to provide some coffee bean recommendations. We hope this will be helpful to friends who have questions about pour-over coffee bean recommendations.

1. What Coffee Beans Should Be Used for Pour-Over Coffee?

There are two main categories of coffee beans: single-origin and blends. Single-origin coffee beans and blended coffee beans are suitable for different coffee brewing methods. Generally speaking, single-origin coffee beans are ideal for filter coffee brewing methods, while blended coffee beans are best suited for pressure extraction to make espresso.

Chen Lei: Pour-Over Coffee Bean Recommendations

Pour-over coffee is a filter coffee brewing method, so pour-over coffee typically uses single-origin beans. Of course, this isn't an absolute rule—some baristas have also used manual brewing methods for blended coffee beans, and the results can be quite good.

2. Pour-Over Coffee Bean Recommendations:

We recommend the following three pour-over coffee beans: FrontStreet Coffee Colombia, FrontStreet Coffee Mandheling, and FrontStreet Coffee Yirgacheffe. The reason is that these three coffees represent different flavor profiles, and when tasted together, they offer distinctly different experiences.

1. FrontStreet Coffee Colombia:

Colombian coffee beans are characterized by a balanced profile, with prominent nutty aromas, subtle acidity, and low bitterness.

2. FrontStreet Coffee Mandheling:

This coffee features higher bitterness, almost no acidity (though not absolutely), and rich body. It's a favorite among Chinese coffee drinkers, with chocolate-like flavors.

3. FrontStreet Coffee Yirgacheffe:

This coffee offers high acidity, low bitterness, with bright fruity sweetness and some floral notes.

This represents most people's direct perception of these three coffee beans' flavors, which is why they're categorized as acidic, balanced, and bitter respectively. If you're interested, you can try each of these coffee beans separately, and we believe you'll find the flavor that suits your preferences.

As for where to purchase these coffee beans, friends can visit FrontStreet Coffee to buy them, or they can compare options on e-commerce platforms to find coffee beans that better suit their taste preferences.
