How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Most of this roaster’s lots are scored off roaster-level signals (Reddit + YouTube) without per-lot SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, or published buyer reviews. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherry’s Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The avg Cherry’s Index reflects general reputation more than per-lot quality.

DAK is recognized in specialty coffee communities as a standout roaster specializing in light roasts, co-ferments, and unique experimental processing methods (like thermal-shock). Users frequently discuss popular offerings like Pink Floyd and Milky Cake, praising their vibrant flavor notes and aromatic profiles. While some note that their ultra-light roasts can be tricky to dial in for espresso or require significant rest time, overall sentiment is strongly positive.
