Coffee packaging post inspired by @drewcoffman.eth 

I always saw this iconic packaging from Dak on Reddit and wanted to try their beans, but they’re in the Netherlands so it’s a big shipping cost/environmental impact…

BUT you can pick up Dak beans at Dayglow Coffee in Brooklyn!! And that I did!

This natural tastes SUPER sour and weird to me so I think I haven’t rested it enough and am gonna wait another week. It was probably also underextracted so I will be grinding way finer next time. I love the name Sugar Float and I want to love the cup just as much!!

might be under-extracting and need to grind finer

also suggest giving Kasuya method a try, it helps with really light roasts (and you probably wouldn’t need to change grind size)

ok so I have tried it after waiting patiently for another 6 days of rest

and the sourness is more mellow! It is still pretty acidic, I think that’s why the “forest fruits” note.

Also I am a pourover only person so Dak could be totally different for espresso! But probably worth trying it because it’s so unique! Their most famous one that I am searching for is “Milky Cake”

first of all, GREAT coffee packaging

second of all, let me know how it tastes when you give it another try. never tried Dak, i'm gonna see if they carry it at Dayglow LA

Try to get your hands on The Alchemist by Dak. It was described to me as a "fruit bomb." Couldn't have been more accurate (had it as espresso).
