About This Coffee and Producer
Elto Coffee was founded by Eliyas Dukamo and Atiklit Dejene (“Mimi”), two rising stars in Ethiopian specialty coffee. Eliyas comes from the renowned Dukamo family, founders of Daye Bensa, while Mimi honed her expertise as a QC specialist at Gesha Village. Together, they operate two drying stations—Bona and Arbegona—dedicated to producing high-quality, competition-grade microlots using industry best practices.
The name Elto carries a dual meaning in Sidama: “abundance” and “more than passion,” reflecting the founders’ vision to craft coffees with care, precision, and intention.
This lot from Bona Station is processed using a traditional washed method and carefully dried on raised beds to highlight clarity, sweetness, and expressive floral character.
Why Moonwake Selected This Coffee
We’re thrilled to share our first-ever lot from Elto Coffee, a producer whose craft and dedication we’ve admired for years. This release marks the start of a relationship we’re genuinely excited about.
In the cup, expect a vibrant and lively profile: sweet Cara Cara orange and layered citrusy lemon shine up front, followed by a delicate bergamot brightness. As the coffee cools, it transforms into a honeyed black tea finish, adding elegance and depth.
This is a classic high-altitude Ethiopian landrace expression—pure, clean, and highly expressive. A beautiful example of the potential of Sidama washed coffees, this lot captures both the precision of Elto Coffee and the joy of a remarkable harvest year.

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
