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 The Hague 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.

Specialty cafés in The Hague 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.
