For floral and fruity coffees suited to pour-over, memorizing a few names is not enough. The equipment changes how the coffee's concentration and aromatics unfold, and the same bean will not perform the same way in every brewing method. What truly has reference value is the sweet-to-sour ratio on entry, the body thickness, and the finish after the coffee cools; combine that with your brewing habits, and the range of choices will gradually become clear.

As for floral and fruity coffees suited to pour-over, from the perspective of equipment matching: pour-over emphasizes aroma and layering, espresso emphasizes concentration and extraction stability, the moka pot leans toward richness, and cold brew emphasizes crispness. Those who like a bright cup can look to light or medium-light roasts, while those who prefer roundness and body can look to medium and medium-dark roasts. A darker roast does not equal a stronger taste; dose, ratio and extraction yield all affect the concentration in the cup.
