drk is a dark roast blend from undercover roasters hq, drawing on beans from ethiopia (sidamo), colombia, and guatemala. the ethiopian component is naturally processed, meaning the coffee cherries are dried whole, which tends to add body and fruit-forward depth to the cup. the result is a blend built around milk chocolate and dark chocolate, with the darker roast pulling those cocoa tones to the front. it suits espresso-based drinks well, where pressure and heat can coax out the full weight of the chocolate character. a ratio of around 1:2 espresso output, or a slightly coarser grind for moka pot, will keep it from turning bitter.

about undercover roasters hq
slow mornings on victoria street have a particular rhythm, and undercover roasters hq fits into that rhythm without forcing anything. abbotsford isn't the flashiest part of melbourne's coffee scene, but it's got a quiet seriousness to it, and this roaster seems to belong to that same register. you're getting something made by people who care about the sourcing and the process, not just the speed of service. the roastery side of the operation means the coffee in your cup has a shorter chain from green bean to grind than most places can claim. worth going on a weekday morning when the street is still finding its feet, and ordering a cortado to see where their current roast is sitting.
