Specialty Coffee In The Philippines: Plain Sight Coffee Roasters

Specialty coffee has become strikingly popular in the Philippines, and it’s easy to see why! With specialty coffee, you get more complex flavors, a fresher roast, and overall a more gratifying experience. Since 2015, we’ve roasted coffee for homebrewers and supplied nearly 200 cafes and restaurants across the country.

Whether you’re new to the world of specialty coffee or a seasoned enthusiast looking for high-quality beans, Plain Sight Coffee Roasters offers a unique selection of freshly roasted coffee to pair with how you do your brew.

 

What Is Specialty Coffee?

 

So, what exactly is specialty coffee? If you take a sip of instant coffee versus coffee from a third-wave cafe, it’s easy to taste the difference. That’s because specialty coffee is cultivated with the utmost care, from harvesting to processing to roasting. All of these factors have a great impact on how the beans will turn out. Compared to commercial coffee, which is mass-produced for supermarket shelves, specialty coffee focuses more on quality and flavor.

 

 

Unlike commercial coffee, which is typically a dark roast, specialty coffee comes in a range of roast profiles. You might find different types of coffee that come in a light, medium, or dark roast. A roaster (like us!) will roast beans with the goal of achieving the optimum flavor for each batch of coffee.

Here at Plain Sight, we’ve refined our roasting technique to let complex notes shine in every cup of coffee. You can enjoy a light roast with fruity and tart notes like our Kenya Gatchatha AA, or sip into a more robust brew with our dark-roasted Bonfire blend.
