Big news—our coffee bags are getting a makeover!

You’ll start to see our new packaging rolling out over the summer and into the fall. During this transition, your orders may include a mix of both the classic and updated bag styles. Don’t worry—it’s still the same carefully roasted, high-quality coffee inside.

Why the change?

It was time! Our new packaging better reflects who we are today—bold, approachable, and always focused on delivering incredible coffee.

Here’s a glimpse of what to expect:

We’re moving away from our traditional kraft bag for all coffees. In its place, you’ll start to see a more tailored look:

• A dedicated bag for our flagship coffee:  Dillon’s Blend
• A sleek black DCR bag for our blends
• A cream-colored DCR bag for our single origins and Limited offerings

HERE’S A SNEAK PEEK

JUST A NAME CHANGE- THAT’S ALL!

Four of our coffees are getting updated names. It’s still the same coffee inside—just with labels that do a better job of reflecting where the coffee comes from. Think of it as a small update that brings big clarity.

DCR – Brazil Sul de Minas

Previously known as: Fazenda Rainha
This dependable Brazilian favorite is now named for its growing region, “Sul de Minas,” one of Brazil’s most celebrated coffee-producing areas. It’s the exact same beans from Fazenda Rainha—just a name that better honors where it’s grown.

DCR – Peru

Previously known as: La Familia Guzman
No changes to the coffee—still grown with care by the Guzman family. We’ve updated the name to “Peru” to reflect the origin more broadly, helping customers immediately recognize its roots while keeping the story just as meaningful.

DCR – Guatemala

Previously known as: Rio Azul Guatemala
Bright, crisp, and consistent—just like always. The updated name, “Guatemala,” keeps it simple and clean while staying true to the coffee’s source at the Rio Azul co-op. Nothing else is changing—just a more streamlined name for clarity.

Meet Our 2025 Scholarship Stars!

At Dillanos Coffee Roasters, we believe in lighting the way for future changemakers. This year, we awarded scholarships to three incredible students whose passions, drive, and unique interests truly inspired us. Here’s a glimpse at the journeys ahead for Ian, Reese, and Brooke!

Reese Bywater

Sumner High School

– Hometown Hero in the Making

Sumner High School → University of Arizona (Premed) → UW (Med) Career Goal: Doctor

Reese Bywater is blazing a trail—literally. As the first in his family to pursue medicine, he’s charging forward with grit, and purpose. This varsity soccer and cross-country athlete balanced academics and athletics like a champ, and now he’s heading to the University of Arizona for premed before transferring to the University of Washington for med school. His long-term goal? To come back to Sumner and give back by working with youth and individuals with disabilities to create a healthier, more compassionate community. Reese is the kind of future doctor who’ll heal more than just bodies, he’ll inspire hearts.

Brook Musial

Bonney Lake High School

– The Empathetic Explorer

Bonney Lake High School → Oregon State University (Premed, Psychiatry) → UW (Med)
Career Goal: Psychiatrist

Brooke Musial is heading off to Oregon State with a curious mind and a compassion for others—the perfect combo for a future psychiatrist. She’s already scored a research internship and is planning a transfer to the University of Washington for med school, but her journey started long before college. A former Girl Scout with pastimes of paddleboarding, cross-stitching, and

baking, Brooke blends creativity and compassion in everything she does. Her dream? To understand the human mind and support others through life’s challenges. With her empathy and drive, we know she’ll bring warmth and wisdom to the world of mental health.

Ian Tumlin

Cascade Christian High School

– The Streetlight Specialist

Cascade Christian High School → Grand Canyon University Major: Mechanical Engineering

When it comes to streetlights, Ian Tumlin isn’t just a fan—he’s a full-on expert. Whether it’s a high-pressure sodium cobrahead or a modern LED post-top, Ian can name the model, the manufacturer, and probably the year it was made. His passion for lighting the world (literally!) is leading him to Grand Canyon University, where he’ll dive into mechanical engineering with hopes of working at a light manufacturer. Outside of his lamp-loving world, Ian finds his swing on the golf course and collects vintage streetlight catalogs. The future is bright—and Ian might just be the one designing that future glow.

Closing

We’re so proud to support these rising stars as they take their next steps. From engineering to medicine to mental health, Ian, Reese, and Brooke are each building a future that shine.
