Coffee Beans for V60 in the UAE and Dubai
Single-origin Coffee Beans for V60
Discover the authenticity of Rwanda Des Mamas, a red bourbon arabica grown at ideal altitudes of 1450 to 1500 m. This balanced coffee, with its fruity and indulgent notes, is perfect for those looking for a cup full of sweetness and richness.
An exceptionally rare and world-renowned coffee variety. It delights with a savory note of cumin and dark chocolate. It leaves a long, wine-like aftertaste.
Central Lowlands Uganda Robusta is a powerful, full-bodied, and straightforward coffee with a rustic yet stable aromatic profile. Ideal for those who enjoy intense espressos or coffee blends. This coffee isn't about subtlety, but about delivering a robust, dark, and persistent cup with a beautiful texture and low acidity. It brings structure and strength to any blend.
Flavored Coffee Beans for V60
The V60 is a pour-over method that hides nothing. Water passes through the grounds in a thin, even stream, so the cup is bright, clean and fully readable. Every note in the bean comes through. So does every flaw.
That is why the beans matter more here than with almost any other method. An espresso machine can bulldoze a mediocre coffee into something drinkable. A V60 will not do that for you.
How to brew V60, the way we do it in our cafe
This is the recipe our baristas use in the Cantata cafe. It is simple, repeatable, and the fastest route to a good cup at home.
What you need: a V60 dripper, a paper filter, freshly ground coffee, and water at 90 to 93 degrees Celsius, which is just off the boil.
Ratio: 20 g of coffee to 200 to 250 ml of water.
- Rinse the filter. Put the paper filter in the funnel and pour hot water through it. This washes out any papery taste and preheats the dripper and cup. Throw the rinse water away.
- Add the coffee. Tip 20 g of ground coffee into the wet filter and shake it gently so the bed sits level.
- Pour slowly, in stages. Start pouring carefully, in small amounts. Keep the whole bed covered and saturated but never flooded. Add each pour only as the previous one draws down.
- Stop at 200 to 250 ml. Keep going in small portions until you have used your full volume. Do not overshoot. The ratio is what keeps the cup balanced.
If your cup is not right
Two problems account for almost every disappointing pour-over.
| What you taste | What happened | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Sour, thin, watery, finishes too fast | Under-extracted. Water passed through too quickly. | Grind finer, pour more slowly, or check your water is hot enough. |
| Bitter, harsh, drying, brew took ages | Over-extracted. Water sat in the bed too long. | Grind coarser, or pour in larger stages. |
| Fine one day, wrong the next, same beans | Grind consistency or dose drifting. | Weigh the coffee rather than using scoops. 20 g is 20 g. |
Order Ground for V60 at checkout and the first variable is handled for you. If you prefer to grind at home, our coffee accessories range covers grinders and brewers.
Iced V60
The same beans make an excellent cold V60. Brew directly over ice using the Japanese iced pour-over approach. The clarity of the method makes single-origin beans taste vivid and refreshing, which is worth knowing between June and September in this city.
Which beans to choose
Two families work in a V60, for different reasons.
Single-origin and specialty
For a classic V60, these are the natural choice. Specialty coffee scores 80 points or more on the Specialty Coffee Association scale and carries full origin transparency: country, region, often the exact farm. Brewed as a pour-over, these beans show their real character, with notes of berries, caramel, nuts or chocolate and nothing added.
| Coffee | Why it suits a V60 | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Honduras Finca Monte Christo | Chocolate, dried fruit and dark berries with a long wine-like finish. The most affordable way to see what a V60 does. | AED 14 |
| Honduras Marcala Bio | Organic certified Honduran, clean and approachable. | AED 17 |
| Mexico Chiapas Amatenango | Balanced and forgiving while you are still dialling in your pour. | AED 19 |
| Indonesia Sumatra Bio | Heavier and earthier, for people who find bright coffees too sharp. | AED 24 |
| Maragogype Nicaragua 20+ | Unusually large beans, mild and soft in the cup. | AED 27 |
| Kenya AA Superstar | AA grade, 100% Arabica, medium roast. Bright and structured, the classic pour-over profile. | AED 33 |
| Jamaica Blue Mountain | One of the most famous coffees in the world. Buy 50 g and make it properly. | AED 89 |

Flavoured beans that brew clean
Most flavoured coffee has a reputation for being greasy, clogging grinders and tasting artificial. Ours does not, and that comes down to how it is made.
Our flavoured beans are built on a 100% Arabica base sourced mainly from Colombia and Brazil, with a few flavours built on Robusta from Indonesia. The aromatisation happens at a specific moment: right after roasting, while the beans are still hot and their pores are open, a food-grade aromatic oil is introduced. Because the beans are warm, the aroma is drawn inside. As they cool, the pores close and lock it in.
The result is a bean that stays dry and non-oily on the surface. That is not a small detail. It means these beans will not gum up your grinder and can be used in an espresso machine, which ordinary oily flavoured beans cannot. In a V60 it means a clean, aromatic cup with no slick residue on top.
Every flavoured coffee we sell is roasted in Belgium, contains no sugar and no artificial additives, and is Halal certified.
| Flavour | In a V60 | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cardamom | Spiced and warm, closest to the coffee traditions of this region. | AED 17 |
| Date | Local sweetness without added sugar. Also available as Date Maragogype at AED 27. | AED 17 |
| Chocolate | Deep and simple, good for people new to flavoured coffee. | AED 17 |
| Creme Brulee | Burnt sugar and custard aroma against a clean pour-over body. | AED 17 |
| Choco-Cherry | Fruit and cocoa, and excellent brewed over ice. | AED 17 |
| Cinnamon | Straightforward warm spice, and it works iced too. | AED 17 |
| Decaf Caramel | The same treatment on decaf, for an evening V60. | AED 23 |
| Caramel Maragogype | Large-bean Maragogype carrying a caramel aroma. | AED 27 |
The full range is on the flavored coffee beans page.
How much coffee do I need?
At 20 g per cup, a 50 g pouch gives you two cups plus a little to practise with, 100 g gives you five, and 250 g gives you twelve. If you are testing an expensive specialty lot, start at 50 g. If you have found your everyday bean, 250 g is the better value.
Everything on this page is sold whole or ground to order, and every bean here is also available ground for espresso, Moka pot, French press or Turkish coffee if you brew more than one way.
