Best filter coffee in Munich
If espresso shows off a café's technique, filter shows off its sourcing. This guide to filter coffee in Munich covers hand-poured V60 and Kalita, batch brew for when you're in a hurry, and how to read a brew bar menu. The guide draws on the 71 specialty cafés and roasters the community has mapped in Munich.
Specialty cafés in Munich typically offer two filter formats: hand-brewed pour-over to order (V60, Chemex, Kalita, Origami) and batch brew (large-format filter, made every 30–60 minutes). Both deserve attention. The best bars use the same beans across both, with daily-roasted single origins from named farms.
