marafiki is a washed kenyan coffee roasted to a medium level by rum baba coffeeroasters. kenya's washed processing removes the fruit before drying, which tends to produce clean, well-defined flavors, and that clarity shows here in a cup that moves from caramel sweetness through milk chocolate to a deeper dark chocolate finish. the medium roast keeps the origin character intact without pushing toward heavy body or bitterness. it works well as a filter brew, where the cleaner profile can open up fully, though it will also pull a balanced espresso for those who prefer chocolate-forward shots.

How should I brew Marafiki?
as a medium roast washed kenyan, marafiki suits filter methods like pour over or drip, which highlight its clean caramel and chocolate notes, though it can also work as espresso for a chocolate-forward shot.
about rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east
both roasting and serving out of the same operation takes a particular kind of commitment, and rum baba on pretoriusstraat does exactly that. you're in the oost neighbourhood here, far enough from the tourist drag that the people coming through the door are mostly locals who've made a deliberate choice to be here. the roasting side of things shapes what ends up in your cup, which is a different proposition from a shop that just buys in wholesale and moves on. east amsterdam has its own unhurried pace, and this place fits that rhythm. if you get there on a weekday morning, pretoriusstraat is quiet enough that you can actually sit with whatever they're pouring and not feel rushed through it.
