Filter roast

A roasting approach aimed at filter and pour-over brewing, typically lighter than an espresso roast, intended to preserve acidity, aromatics and origin character that a longer, lower-pressure brew can extract without becoming harsh.

Colour
Typically light-brown to medium-brown.

  • often preserves more acidity and origin character than a darker, espresso-oriented roast

Inferred, not independently verified — A purpose-oriented category rather than a fixed colour; overlaps substantially with 'light roast'.
