Our filter board changes every week or two, and the words on it can feel like a test. They are not. Three details tell you almost everything about how a coffee will taste.
Where it grew
Origin is a rough guide to flavour. East African coffees from Ethiopia and Kenya tend to be bright and floral or fruity. Central and South American coffees lean towards chocolate, nuts and caramel. Yemen sits somewhere of its own: wild, spicy and dried-fruit sweet.
How it was processed
Washed coffees have the fruit removed before drying, which gives a clean, tea-like cup. Natural coffees dry inside the cherry, which pushes the flavour towards berries and wine. If you like a juicy cup, try a natural; if you like clarity, try a washed coffee.
Just ask
Tell the bar what you usually drink and we will pour you a taste before you commit. The Filter of the Day is AED 34 for 300 ml, enough to share, and every coffee on the board is also sold in 250 g bags to take home.
