Best filter coffee in Bangalore

Roasters maps the filter-forward cafés in Bangalore the community trusts for the cleanest, brightest cups. Bangalore is one of 144 cities with a “Filter coffee” guide on Roasters.
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 Bangalore 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.
