Filter is the order to taste a single origin properly. Espresso compresses flavour; filter opens it. A great Ethiopian Yirgacheffe poured on a V60 in Antwerp will taste of bergamot, peach, and jasmine in a way no espresso will. Roasters surfaces which cafés are serving the most exciting filter lots this season.
