DAK - Milky Cake Espresso (250g)

Arguably the best beans I’ve had.

I’ve had this one a number of times now and keep coming back to it. I like to alternate this one with one of the fruitier roasts (I.e. The Alchemist or Jazz Fruits) and think it makes a nice complement to those. It’s sweet with a little nuttiness, but doesn’t generally have the acidity of the fruitier ones. I find that I like this one better when it’s had the longer rest times, as the box typically recommends. Highly recommended

Always such a pleasure to have this coffee. Truly one of the best coffees I've ever had in my life!

If you see these beans in stock - buy them! Milky Cakes still one of my faves from DAK

Very very nice beans if you are into milk coffee, great through espressos. Quite consistent for how light the roast is.

Wow totally amazed by this coffee. I am obsessed with this coffee.

I used to love this but since I changed my machine (Rocket) I can’t seem to dial it in properly. Still got the taste though.

Excellent coffee. DAK never disappoints.

There’s a reason this is a top seller. It’s a really unique coffee that stands out right away. The aftertaste is strong in a good way, with a cake-like sweetness lingering after you finish your sip.

So good in milk, the pistachio note really comes through and it tastes like a treat.

I don't know who is pulling this successfully at home or what their set up is. While I love this as a filter brew it has been impossible to dial-in at home on a BDB and commercial Compak grinder. Have been making espresso based drinks for over a decade and this joins infamously difficult Intelligentsia Black Cat as the two I simply cannot dial in. Regardless of grind, overdosing, playing with the preinfusion in just wants to run as a near turbo shot.

This coffee is amazing! Just a bit tricky to dial in.

Amazing coffee, I really love the pistachio notes feel like some coffee dessert. Definitely order it again. With service and delivery Eight ounces is above and beyond than my expectations. Ilove to shop from Eight ounces.

Tastes amazing, you can genuinely taste the vanilla cake.

Super funky process heavy coffee without having the co ferment/yeasty charachterists that can be unpleasant.

Amazing coffe

This is one of my favorite espresso beans.

This coffee tastes like few others (Maybe September’s Buttercream?) and is truly excellent. Must try.

Taste good!

Always a favourite.

Still the best and has been my constant!

i've purchased these beans multiple times and i love the packaging!

Great staple beans!

Very good, did not disappoint!

This is my first batch of Milky Cake; and I'll preface with saying that it definitely lives up to the hype around it! These beans are incredibly fragrant and sweet. You can really taste the pistachio and cardamom. However, this one was a TOUGH dial-in for espresso with my entry-level equipment. No matter how finely I ground, these beans would just not build up enough pressure, and, when ground too finely-- would quickly lose that pistachio and honey sweetness, taking on a somewhat generic acidic flavor. I ended up using the last half of the bag in a V60 brew instead, which worked quite well despite being roasted for espresso.

Overall, these beans are extremely aromatic and flavorful and make for a nice change of pace, but the flavour does get a bit overwhelming after a couple brews in a row! I would absolutely order again though, whenever I feel like I want something a bit more interesting in my rotation.

Top of the line

Best espresso my husband and I have tasted. Went through the 250 gram bag in less then a week so went back and got the 1 kg!

balanced bean, the spice note is very interesting, good for latte! but do think there are cheaper beans that do the same job :<

This just keeps getting better. Inconsistent for a while in 2024 but recent releases have been top notch
