Best filter coffee in Valencia
If espresso shows off a café's technique, filter shows off its sourcing. This guide to filter coffee in Valencia covers hand-poured V60 and Kalita, batch brew for when you're in a hurry, and how to read a brew bar menu. Roasters currently counts 101 cafés in Valencia, #3 in Spain.
Specialty cafés in Valencia 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.
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 Valencia 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.
