DAYBREAK DOSSIER — The Foxhole Recipe

Honduras · Milk Chocolate, Walnut, Stone Fruit

Daybreak is our morning roast. Not because of marketing — because of chemistry. A medium roast with enough body to stand up to milk and enough sweetness to work as black coffee. Honduras single-origin, sourced through a direct relationship with the producer cooperative. This is the bag you reach for when the day starts hard.

Common Questions

Q: What makes Daybreak different from the other roasts?

Daybreak is our sweetest, most approachable roast. Lower acidity than Daybreak or Sentinel, rounder body, and a natural affinity for milk. It’s the roast you give to someone who says they don’t like coffee — because it doesn’t assault them.

Q: What brew methods work best with Daybreak?

French Press and Auto-Drip bring out the best in Daybreak — the body and chocolate notes are amplified by immersion and full extraction. Pour-over works too, but keep it to medium or medium-dark water temp.

Q: Can Daybreak be used for espresso?

Daybreak is too light for true espresso. Use Sentinel for espresso at home. Daybreak works as a straight espresso drink for people who want something bright and sweet, but it won’t produce the syrupy crema you’d expect from a dark roast.

Q: What’s the stone fruit note?

Stone fruit is a flavor category that includes plums, peaches, apricots, and nectarines. In coffee, it shows up as a gentle sweetness at the top of the cup — not a dominant flavor, but a note that sits above the chocolate and makes the overall profile feel lifted and complex.
