Bona Fide is Goshen Coffee's no-nonsense house blend—a reliable, full-bodied coffee that delivers consistent richness whether you're pulling shots or brewing a morning pot. Roasted in Portland, this blend was built for the daily ritual: the kind of coffee that makes you pause, take a sip, and think, "damn, that's some good shit." Goshen's promise is in the name—bona fide means genuine, and this coffee backs it up with every cup.
Tasting Notes
Expect deep chocolate and caramel sweetness with a rounded, syrupy body. The acidity is gentle and balanced, letting the roast character shine without bitterness. The finish is smooth and slightly nutty, with a lingering cocoa note that invites the next sip. This is a forgiving, crowd-pleasing profile that works beautifully in milk drinks and holds its own black.
Brew Methods
Bona Fide shines as espresso—it pulls thick, sweet shots with crema that holds under milk, making it ideal for lattes and cappuccinos. It's equally satisfying as drip coffee or in a French press, where the body has room to bloom. For pour over, aim for a medium grind and slightly longer contact time to coax out the caramel sweetness. This blend is versatile enough to adapt to your routine, whether you're dialing in a new machine or just need a dependable morning brew.
