About Orlando Aguilar

Orlando Aguilar comes from a coffee producing family, which has developed traditions in El Salvador. As a producer himself, he has focused on specialty coffee by working with strong varieties in an ideal climate with good, fertile soil. The harvest at Buena Vista farm is done selectively and by hand. After harvest, the coffee is fermented in sacks for 9–12 hours before being depulped, washed, and dried on raised beds for 10–13 days.

Microlots from El Salvador are sourced from different groups of smallholder producers and some established estates located throughout the country.


What Is Filter Roast Anyway?

AKA: If you make espresso, don’t buy this.

Filter roast is coffee that’s been roasted to shine in slow, chill brew methods like pour-over, AeroPress, or drip coffee. It’s all about those delicate, complex flavors — the ones you actually want to taste when you’re not half-asleep and smashing a double shot.

This roast is lighter and sweeter, bringing out the bean’s natural character (like wine, but less pretentious). Perfect for those who like to savor their coffee, not slam it back.

So, if your coffee machine sounds like a jet engine, this one’s not for you. But if you love a clean, balanced brew that makes your mornings feel a little brighter — welcome to the filter roast club. 😎

  • There are no universal definitions, but most roasters tend to roast darker for espresso. However, one roaster’s "filter" roast may be darker than another’s "espresso" roast.

    Brightside Filter Roasts are considered very light.

  • Technically yes, but we strongly advise against it. It will not taste good.

  • Filter roasts allow the more delicate, floral and fruity notes of coffee to shine. It allows us to roast and experience coffees with very unique characteristics that do not typically pair well with milk or espresso.

  • Filter refers to the brewing method of the coffee. Filter roasts are ideal for brewing with slower methods that incorporate a paper or metal filtration. Typical brewing times for filter roasts are 2-4 minutes.

  • Yes you can, but the results may not be to your liking if you prefer a sweeter and fruiter style coffee.

  • Yes you can, though depending on the coffee the results may not be to your liking.

  • The coffees we buy for filter roasting have more unique and less traditional processing methods, and that usually comes at a cost. It's worth it!
