Dillanos Coffee Roasters staff know great coffee. After all, we drink it year round. From limited edition single origins to blends with classic flavor notes, Dillanos offers a wide variety of coffees to cafes across the nation and directly to your home just the same. With so many options to choose from, we wanted to share twelve coffees that our team felt were true stand outs this year.

Maybe you’ll be inspired to try something new…

Maybe you’ll find the perfect gift for the coffee lover in your life…

No matter what you discover, we’re thrilled to share some of this year’s favorites from our resident experts: our awesome staff!

Howie’s Blend

Rich, full body. Toast aroma. Tastes of dark chocolate.

Howie’s Blend feels like slipping into your favorite cozy sweater—it’s warm, familiar, and comforting.

The classic dark chocolate notes and toasty aroma wrap you in a sense of home, making every sip as inviting as a favorite place to relax.

Perfect for anyone who craves a coffee that’s both rich and down-to-earth.”

Sumatra

Strong, heavy body. Toasted oak aroma. Tastes of earthy, bittersweet chocolate.

Sumatra is my go-to dark roast for the holidays. It’s the right amount of earthy, and the notes of bittersweet chocolate bring on all the cozy vibes.

Whether it’s enjoyed with loved ones or there as support for those late-night gift-wrapping sessions, Sumatra is the perfect blend to warm you up this holiday season!”

Swiss Water Decaf

Rich, full body. Floral aroma. Tastes of toasted grain.

Swiss Water Decaf makes a typically morning-only drink into a cozy anytime beverage. 

The coffee is named after the decaffeination process used. Swiss water is a 100% chemical free process that was invented in Switzerland (of course) and allows us to maintain the organic certification for our coffee.

Finally I can come in from the cold and warm up with a hot cup of coffee and know I will still be able to sleep.”

Papua New Guinea

Rich, heavy body. Dried fruit aroma. Tastes of raisin.

“One of my favorite things about living in the beautiful PNW is its incredible natural diversity – it’s an area of rich contrast. You can stand on a rocky mountain top and breathe in the frigid air blowing off an ancient glacier. Within an hour’s drive you’re on the shore and, if you get really lucky, watch Orcas swim by.

Our Papua New Guinea is that feeling in a cup for me. A coffee that’s a lighter roast and has a fruity sweetness, tastes of raisin and grapes come to mind. At the same time it’s incredibly rich and full bodied; a combination rarely found in one coffee.”

Green Planet

Rich, full body. Floral aroma. Tastes of cocoa.

“There’s nothing like a warm cup of Green Planet on a crisp, sunny fall morning.

This rich, full-bodied brew has the perfect balance of floral aromas and cocoa notes–it’s autumn in a cup!

What I love most? It’s USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified, so I’m sipping with a clear conscience, knowing it is sourced responsibly.

Whether I’m curling up with a good book or getting a little work done, this coffee never disappoints. Definitely try this one for yourself.”

Skylar’s

Rich, full body. Sweet aroma. Tastes of malt & honey.

Skylar’s has been my favorite Dillanos coffee this year! It’s a blend of coffees from Ethiopia and Brazil, two growing regions that complement each other really well. Ethiopian brings the complexity to the equation, while Brazilian beans round things out with its natural richness and full body.

Those characteristics underscored by tasty malt and honey flavors make this drink exactly what I look for in a coffee.”

Rio Azul

Rich, full body. Rye aroma. Tastes of milk chocolate.

“I’ve always liked coffee, but tended to favor darker roasts. I think that’s pretty common for a lot of us… thinking darker roasts means richer coffee flavors.

Enter Rio Azul.

It’s one of the first lighter roast blends that I’ve tried, and wow was I surprised. Despite being a medium-light roast, this coffee has a rich, full body with creamy milk chocolate flavor notes.

There’s a lot going on with our Rio Azul, which is pretty cool given that it’s actually a single origin — That means the beans come from one single place: a region called Huehuetenango in Northern Guatemala.

Since taking the leap away from dark roasts, Rio Azul has been a favorite of mine. Anytime it’s prepared in the front lobby, I always grab a cup.”

Omission Decaf

Crisp, full body. Molasses aroma. Tastes of maple syrup.

“I’ve become a recent fan of our Omission Decaf Blend because it’s proof that you don’t have to sacrifice amazing coffee flavor just because it’s decaf!

My husband and I switched to “unleaded” coffee a few months ago and haven’t looked back! It’s our go-to for that perfect morning aroma and nostalgia or a cozy cup in the evenings by the fire with our pup.

Now I can enjoy my post-2pm coffee fix without staying up all night. It’s the best of both worlds!”

Rogue

Strong, light body. Toasted aroma. A lasting, sweet, smoky taste.

“I love Rogue for its perfect balance. And that’s really saying something because this coffee blends beans sourced from no less than four different regions around the globe!

Rogue has this sweet, somewhat smoky taste that plays off great against its strong body. Even with the depth that comes from a medium-dark roast, this coffee manages to finish light on the tongue… it’s impressive.”

Ava Blonde

Crisp, light body. Almond aroma. Tastes of malt & chocolate.

“As part of the roasting team at Dillanos, it’s not always easy to choose a favorite coffee. This year, Ava Blonde caught my attention…

While chocolate flavor notes are a real crowd-pleaser for most coffee lovers, Ava Blonde takes that up a notch by bringing a nod of malt and an almond aroma to the table. That almond aroma is so unique and gives Ava Blonde real distinction among a huge variety of great Dillanos coffees.

Whether it’s espresso, Aeropress, pour over, or a simple pot of drip brew, Ava Blonde will always taste amazing.”

Hannah’s Private Reserve

Rich, heavy body. Nougat aroma. Tastes of sweet chocolate.

“I love making Hannah’s Private Reserve first thing in the morning because it fills my house with the sweet aroma of nougat and chocolate. It’s such a treat!

There’s nothing better than getting your day started with an amazing cup of coffee that doesn’t even need creamer, because it’s that awesome!”

Special Dark

Rich, heavy body. Nougat aroma. Tastes of sweet chocolate.

Special Dark is my go-to coffee, every morning. It has a full body, black licorice aroma and tastes of dark chocolate.

Normally I drink this black, but during the holiday season, I love to add a splash of Peppermint Mocha creamer. I even brew this in the early morning hours on Christmas for Santa, to stay on his “nice” list. He is never disappointed! “
