Milky Cake is one of Diego Bermúdez's most iconic coffees and a testament to his scientific approach to coffee processing.

Produced at Finca El Paraíso (Cauca), this Castillo lot utilizes an advanced controlled fermentation and thermal shock protocol, developed by Diego to enhance aromas and sweetness with exceptional precision.

The result is a creamy and complex cup, reminiscent of a freshly baked vanilla cake, with layers of honey, pistachio, and sweet spices.

Dak was born from a true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a never-ending journey of discovery. We are located in Amsterdam.

We select our coffees based on their unique cupping profiles and, of course, that they are 100% traceable. We partner with importers who share our values ​​and carefully roast each of our coffees to deliver the best flavors they have to offer.

We roast on an IMF machine which provides a high degree of control and consistency in our roasts. The machine uses a convection system that allows the coffees to be properly developed in a shorter time. The result is clean, bright and sweet coffees.
