DESCRIPTION
Bonfire is designed as a steady introduction to specialty coffee. It’s made for drinkers coming from traditional, darker profiles who want something more considered, without moving too far from what feels familiar and comfortable.
This blend brings together coffees from Guatemala and Brazil to create a cup that’s grounded, approachable, and structured. The Brazilian coffee provides body and sweetness, forming the foundation of the blend. The Guatemalan component adds depth and definition, giving the cup more clarity without pushing acidity to the forefront. The result is a profile that feels rich but controlled, with no sharp edges.
In the cup, Bonfire leans into a fuller body with warm, familiar flavors. Expect notes of toast and roasted cacao nibs, supported by a soft, grain-like character reminiscent of oats. Sweetness is present but restrained, and acidity stays low, making it easy to drink and forgiving across different brew methods. It’s a profile designed to feel reassuring rather than challenging.
Bonfire’s role is clear. This is an everyday blend for consistency and comfort, especially suited for those beginning their specialty coffee journey. It performs reliably as an espresso and translates well to percolator or pour-over, maintaining structure without becoming thin or overly bright.
At Plain Sight, we believe that getting your coffee to you at the right time provides for a great brewing experience. We make sure that you'll get your coffees not more than 10 days from the roast date, ensuring the right amount of time for you to try it out without it being too fresh off the roast. We recommend brewing the coffee 7 days from roast and flavors will peak around 2-4 weeks from roast
