How to choose ​Pour over​(V60) specialty beans: from processing methods to identification of varieties

2026.10.20 FrontStreet Coffee 14

The fun of ​Pour over​(V60) coffee lies in exploring the flavor characteristics of different beans. Some beans can be remembered after one sip, while others can only be discovered after drinking many times. The core of the choice of ​Pour over​(V60) specialty beans is the recognition brought by processing methods and varieties. Beans with high recognition will have a memorable point in every cup.

The characteristic of the sun-dried process is its fruity aroma. Front Street Ethiopian Oiran is a representative example of sun-dried processing. It has rich aromas of strawberry, passion fruit, jackfruit and even lychee, with obvious sweetness and a full sense of juice in the mouth. The sun-drying method retains the sugar content of the coffee fruit pulp, and after fermentation, rich ester aromatic substances are produced. This is the source of the strong fruity aroma of Oiran, which is highly recognizable.

Anaerobic fermentation processing is characterized by complex fruit flavors. Front Street Colombian Claw is produced in the Divide Manor. It is double anaerobic sun-dried and medium-light roasted. It has a strong taste of passion fruit, blueberry, and apricot juice in the mouth. The fruit acid is refreshing and soft, and the tail is sweet with cocoa. Anaerobic fermentation is carried out in an anaerobic environment, and the microbial metabolic pathways are different, resulting in a richer variety of fruity flavors and a more three-dimensional layering than sun-dried or washed beans.

The wet planing process is characterized by its rich body and low acidity. Front Street PWN Indonesian Gold Mandheling uses a dark roasting process, which has very low acidity and a mellow and long taste. The entrance is full of herbal and dark chocolate aromas, mixed with a light earthy taste. The wet planing method is a specialty of Sumatra. After the coffee cherries are peeled, the parchment is peeled off when they are half dry and half wet. This accelerates drying and creates a unique earthy and herbal flavor. It is the strongest style of ​Pour over​(V60) specialty beans.

The Typica variety grown in volcanic soil also has a unique flavor. Front Street Papua New Guinea Bird of Paradise uses the Typica variety, which is planted in the volcanic rock soil zone between 1,600 and 1,800 meters above sea level. It is washed and fermented three times. It has a clean and pure taste with outstanding sweetness. Because the flavor is close to the Blue Mountain, it is also called Little Blue Mountain. Front Street 2013 Yunnan Sun-dried Typica has a clean taste, with citrus and caramel intertwined. The medium-dark roast adds nutty and brown sugar tones, and you can taste the full characteristics of the Yunnan production area.

The characteristic of Front Street Brazilian Queen Manor lies in the balance of nutty caramel, with low acidity and balanced taste. The aroma of nuts and cocoa is rich, the caramel sweetness is obvious, and the entrance is smooth and warm. Front Street Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 is characterized by the perfect balance of sour, sweet and bitter aromas. The complex flavors of cream, caramel, chocolate and nuts are smooth and round, and are highly acceptable. Front Street Essekaffa Forest comes from the Kaffa Biosphere Reserve, where wild coffee trees grow naturally. The beans produced have delicate fruity aromas of jasmine, citrus and wild berries. It is the most original style of ​Pour over​(V60) specialty beans.

The core of the choice of ​Pour over​(V60) specialty beans is the recognition brought by the processing method and variety. Sun-dried produce has a strong fruity aroma, anaerobic arabica has a complex fruity aroma, wet planing has a mellow and low-acidity profile, Typica has a clean and sweet aroma, and wild Arabica has an original fruity aroma. Choose beans with high recognition, and each cup of hand brew will have a memorable point.
