From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 71 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

Sparse signal

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 68.4 shrunk to 60.6 = 61.

Three Reddit contributions give a mixed-to-positive view of DAK. One brewer reported wonderful, juicy cups from DAK light roasts. Another found Don Eli Gesha easy to dial in for espresso and also enjoyed it as freddo espresso. A third described Milky Cake as having a huge cardamom note and questioned whether that character came only from processing and terroir.

    That’s interesting, I have the exact same coffee and find it very easy to dial in, also not at the lightest end of what DAK offers for espresso. I also have a Bako Gotiti Ethiopian test batch from them that is denser and lighter ( I know this as I need to dose 19g in a 18g basket whereas with the Don Eli I use 18g and.

    ...m September roasters and got to thinking. This is the second thermal-shock processed coffee I have had with this huge, distinctive cardamom note (The other being DAK milky cake which is also from Colombia, but from a different grower) so I thought I would look into other examples of thermal-shock processed coffee an

  • r/pourover · 3↑ · Some light roasts not turning out?

    I’ve been getting mixed results with light roasts- I’m getting wonderful juicy cups from DAK but I just got a bag of SEY and it just tastes flat with the same exact brewing method and grind size. It happens sometimes with lighter roasts for me, even when I’m grinding finer and adding more agitation. I’ve been doing pou
