coffees from this region can have a certain degree of brightness and acidity, so I pulled this as a ristretto (24g in, 32g out). not the best shot, some uneven extraction, but not terrible either. the weber baskets I use produce this particular “raindrop” pattern to the extraction which never really coalesces into a single stream. at first I thought I was doing something wrong but it is what it is.

DAK has been putting out some incredible roasts. Their washed Huila, Colombia (White Lotus) was in my sub box last month and it was so good!

if you’re doing pourover I could see rating their beans as quite exceptional for espresso I’m a bit less convinced but overall a big fan of their experimental processes

I have fallen off from drinking espresso as much bc I'm usually disappointed. If I saw Dayglow or Kumquat had DAK on espresso I would for sure order one. Do you find its too bright as espresso?

espresso is just way harder imo, I’ve had so much bad espresso even at good cafes. difficult to nail basket prep at high volume among other things. I don’t think it’s too bright but my personal preference for milk-based drinks is a bit darker. I don’t love how lighter roasts cut through milk vs. medium/medium-dark roasts. would rather get a chocolatey cup than a fruity or acidic one, if that makes sense. I’ve tried banana split, milky cake, and now plum butter from DAK. all very tasty, just sometimes want a bit more body so I’m pulling them very short haha.
