STAFF PICK 🏆

Strong, full body. Anise aroma. Tastes of dark chocolate.

WHY WE LOVE SPECIAL DARK

“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!”

– Debbie, Accounts Receivable

We recommend pairing Special Dark with the warm flavors of Barista 22’s Pumpkin Pie Sauce. Made with real pumpkin, the dessert-like qualities hold up against the dark roast of this coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Grind Should I Choose?

We offer seven different grind options with most of our coffees.

Whole Bean
Drip, Pour Over & Chemex (the most common option for home use)
Coarse Drip (for some commercial brewers)
French Press
Toddy / Cold Brew
Espresso
Home Espresso (compatible with most home espresso machines, which require a slightly coarser grind than commercial espresso machines)

You can choose the grind that best matches the method you’ll be using to brew your coffee. However, if you need more information to drill down on exactly which one will suit your needs, please head over to watch this video made by our Director of Coffee.

BEST COFFEE EVER.

Have been drinking this for over a decade and recommend it to everyone. We use it as our espresso bean.
Bill Gibson (verified customer) – August 10, 2021

This coffee is special to me as it was the first coffee I tried from Dillanos. It is without a doubt my favorite coffee from any roaster. If you like dark roast coffee-nothing even comes close to this one. Joy in a cup!

Great flavor, not bitter. Bold and smooth. My favorite coffee.

Outstanding espresso bean!! Dark, nuanced, and just delicious. DCR has become our favorite and there’s not even a close second.
